Skunk Control in Edmonton, AB
Safe Skunk Removal & Odor Control
Skunk living under your deck, shed, or porch? These nocturnal animals may seem harmless, but their defensive spray can create unbearable odors that linger for weeks. Skunks also dig up lawns searching for grubs and can carry diseases like rabies. Edmonton’s suburban areas provide ideal habitat for skunks, especially in spring when they search for denning sites to raise their young. At YEG Pest Control, we specialize in humane skunk removal and exclusion to keep your property skunk-free.
