Skunk Control Chicago IL
Skunks are one of the most popular species of wildlife that we are called upon to control in Chicago. Skunks can be found living in crawlspaces, under front and rear porch and patio and basements in homes and businesses throughout Chicago, Lake Forest, Lake Bluff, Highland Park, Northbrook, Oak Park, and nearby cities in Illinois. They also take up residence under sheds, in hot tubs and outbuildings. A shed is normally elevated off the ground and is perfect for raising a family. If there is shelter they will seek it!
Skunk control and removal should be initiated as soon as the animal has been discovered living in this area. Illinois is home to some very large skunks and some exceed 20 pounds! The striped skunk, hog nosed skunk and spotted skunk are the common species found in Illinois.
Skunk control and removal should only be attempted by people who understand the danger this animal can present. Wildlife Professionals understand this danger and have the tools and training to safely handle these very strong animals.
