Humane Trapping & Exclusion

Skunks or raccoons under your home?

We handle it carefully — live trapping, safe relocation, and foundation exclusion so they don't come back. No drama. Just a clean resolution.

The problem

Signs of skunks or raccoons on your property

Skunk odor

Persistent musky smell near foundation, porch, or deck — first sign of a den.

Digging and burrows

Cone-shaped lawn holes or den openings along foundations and outbuildings.

Tipped trash

Scattered garbage and raided pet bowls — classic raccoon activity.

Rabies risk

Both species are carriers in Montana. Professional handling is essential.

Why professional removal matters

Both species can carry rabies. Skunks spray when cornered; raccoons can be aggressive with young.

  • Rabies risk — both are carriers
  • Skunks spray when threatened
  • Raccoons cause structural damage
  • Exclusion prevents repeat visitors

Our approach

How we handle it — safely and humanely

01
Assessment

Identify species, locate dens, check for young, determine safest approach.

02
Trapping

Professional live traps, species-appropriate bait, daily monitoring.

03
Relocation

Animals relocated per Montana FWP guidelines to appropriate habitat.

04
Exclusion

Den openings sealed, foundation gaps screened, vulnerable areas fortified.

The longer they're denning, the more comfortable they get.

They establish territories and return season after season unless properly excluded.
