What to look for

A smell under the deck

A strong, musky odor after dark often means a skunk is denning under the deck, porch or shed.

Holes in the yard

A big burrow by the shed points to a groundhog. Lots of small, shallow holes in the lawn point to armadillos or skunks digging for grubs.

Noises overhead

Quick scurrying at dawn is usually squirrels. Heavy thumps at night suggest a raccoon or opossum.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get a skunk out from under my deck?
Wait until it leaves at night, then close the gap with wire mesh buried a foot down. Don't do it in spring, when babies may be inside.
Are opossums dangerous?
Rarely. They're shy and would rather play dead than fight. Still, never handle one.
What's digging holes in my lawn?
Small, cone-shaped holes suggest armadillos. Patches of turf rolled back suggest skunks or raccoons after grubs.
Can the animal just be moved somewhere else?
Often not. Many states limit relocating wildlife, and moving a mother can leave babies behind.
Do wildlife pros use poison?
No. Poisons aren't used on animals like skunks or opossums. Removal relies on one-way doors, traps and sealing.
What does wildlife removal cost?
A simple job often costs a few hundred dollars. Sealing, repairs and cleanup add more.
