Skunk Trapping & Odor Control in Dallas, Plano, Frisco & McKinney

Smelling that unmistakable odor or spotting a skunk near your porch or shed in Dallas, Plano, Frisco, or McKinney? Skunks are nocturnal and often burrow under decks, sheds, and homes. Experiencing a skunk problem in North Texas requires prompt and professional attention. Critter Guardian specializes in humane skunk trapping and removal with odor-minimizing techniques and specialized skunk traps. Our trained technicians know how to locate hidden den sites and safely trap nuisance skunks, providing effective skunk control for homeowners across North Dallas suburbs.

Safe and Spray Proof Trapping — Odor Control

Our comprehensive skunk control includes live trapping, professional skunk removal, and crucial skunk exclusion services. We don't just remove the animal; we seal off common access points like crawlspaces, foundations, or sheds to ensure they don’t come back, providing long-term skunk prevention for your property in Dallas, Plano, Frisco, or McKinney.

Decks & Porches

Skunks love to burrow beneath decks or porches for shelter. We trap and remove them, then install exclusion barriers to prevent re-entry.

Sheds & Flower Beds

Skunks often burrow beneath shed foundations or disturb flower beds while foraging. We install underground barriers and seal vulnerable areas to keep them from digging or nesting around your property.

Crawlspaces & Foundations

Access to crawlspaces means risk of spray and damage. We seal off vents, gaps, and HVAC enclosures to keep them out—long-term.

Count on Critter Guardian for fast, effective skunk removal and odor-free protection in North Dallas.

We Use Specialized Skunk Traps That Minimize Spray Risk

Skunks are known for their powerful spray, which can create big problems if triggered near your home or pets. That's why we use enclosed, skunk-specific traps designed to keep everyone safe—homeowners, pets, and our technicians.

These traps provide full visual coverage and limit movement, significantly reducing the chance of spraying once a skunk is caught. Our team is trained to handle and remove trapped skunks carefully and efficiently.

At Critter Guardian, we believe in safe, low-stress trapping that works. Our skunk traps help ensure a smooth, spray-free experience from start to finish.

Our 3-Step Skunk Removal Process

Step 1: Locate Skunk Den

We begin with a thorough property inspection to identify signs of skunk activity—such as burrow openings under sheds, decks, or slabs. Knowing the exact location of the den or heavily traveled areas is key to a targeted and effective removal.

Find the Den

Step 2: Skunk-Safe Trapping

We use enclosed skunk-specific traps designed to prevent spraying during capture and relocation. These traps protect pets, homeowners, and our technicians while allowing for humane handling of the animal.

Secure Trapping

Step 3: Relocate & Seal

Once the skunks are removed, we relocate them far from residential areas and offer sealing services to block off their former den sites—helping prevent future visits to your property.

Signs of Skunks & What to Look For

  • Skunks Spotted: Seeing a skunk on or around the property.
  • Skunk Odor: A strong, musky smell near crawl spaces or sheds.
  • Digging: Cone-shaped holes in lawns or flower beds overnight.
  • Burrow Entrances: 6 to 8 inch holes near foundations with worn paths.
  • Nocturnal Sounds: Scratching or rustling at dusk or dawn.

Always use caution around skunks—these animals can carry ticks, fleas, and serious diseases like rabies. In fact, skunks are the second most common rabies carriers in the U.S., just behind raccoons. For your safety and peace of mind, it's best to leave skunk removal to trained professionals.

How to Keep Skunks Away from Your Home

Remove attractants and secure your property to help deter skunks naturally:

  • Secure trash cans: Use lids that keep smells in.
  • Remove pet food: Don’t leave dishes out overnight.
  • Eliminate shelter: Seal gaps under sheds and porches.
  • Clear clutter: Get rid of brush and wood piles.
  • Use motion lights: Sudden light can scare them off.

Skunks are most active from dusk to dawn, especially in spring and late summer when raising young. They hibernate in the winter.
