Portland Skunk Live Trapping

We use a specialized trap designed for live trapping skunks, but also preventing the skunks from spraying. We get many calls from people that bought or had a cage trap and trapped a skunk. But then they do not know what to do after they catch one. This is why we always recommend contacting a professional Portland skunk removal company when dealing with this type of a problem.

​Depending on the time of year you might have multiple skunks on your Portland property. Starting around February is when the males start looking for a female which can cause random sprays if you have them living on your property. It is best to have them removed as soon as you notice a skunk because it will attract others and can prevent you from having a litter of skunks under your house.

Skunk Spray Prevention

The main problem that skunks create is the odor after they spray. Commonly, this happens when they come in contact with a pet like a dog. Another risk that comes along with skunks in Portland is that they are a vector species which means they can carry diseases like rabies. Although we have found this to not be that common, we always advise never approaching a skunk and calling a professional. There are a few things that can help to prevent your animals from coming in contact with skunks. The first one is keeping them on lease when walking them. If you let your dog outside at night we always recommend making sure there is nothing in your yard before letting them out. ​
