Early Warning Signs of Skunks Around Your Home
Skunks can leave behind droppings and other clues before you even spot them in your yard. If you notice any of the following warning signs, call UFO to remove them before the issue escalates:
- Strong, lingering odors around decks, sheds, or crawl spaces
- Small holes are dug throughout the yard or garden
- Scratching or rustling sounds beneath porches or foundations
- Tracks or oily rub marks along exterior walls
- Torn-up grass, overturned sod, or disturbed mulch
- Droppings found near entry points or along pathways
- Pets acting unusually alert or agitated in certain areas
Key Factors Behind Skunk Activity in South Jersey Neighborhoods
Skunks are drawn to places that offer comfort, cover, and an easy meal, which makes many South Jersey neighborhoods their perfect target. Understanding what attracts them to your property can help you stay a step ahead and prevent them from settling in.
Accessible Food Sources Around the Property
Garbage cans, compost piles, outdoor pet food, fallen fruit, and dense insect activity can make your yard a prime feeding ground for skunks. Many South Jersey homeowners report an increase in skunk visits during the warmer months, when grubs are plentiful in their lawns.
Shelter Opportunities Under Decks, Sheds, and Foundations
Quiet, shaded spaces like raised decks, loose siding, crawl spaces, and gaps beneath sheds are ideal hiding and nesting spots for skinks. These sheltered areas offer protection from predators and harsh weather.
Breeding Season Activity Increasing Skunk Movement
During breeding season (typically late winter into spring), skunks roam more frequently through residential neighborhoods. Properties in quieter South Jersey areas with soft soil and secluded corners are especially appealing for mothers raising their young.
What to Expect From Our Skunk Removal Process
Skunks don’t just leave on their own; they settle, hide, and make themselves comfortable. Our process clears them out safely and puts strong protections in place so they can’t return.
-
Inspection and Assessment
We inspect every area skunks are likely using, from crawl spaces to the edges of decks and sheds. This helps us map out their movements, find entry points, and understand exactly what’s happening on your property.

Exclusion, Sealing, and Damage Repair
Once the skunks are gone, we seal every gap, crack, or dug-out space they used to enter or access your property. We also fix the damage they caused and reinforce weak spots so they can’t reclaim the area.

We remove droppings, soiled insulation, and nesting debris to restore a clean, safe environment around your home. We also outline simple and effective steps to prevent skunks from returning, providing you with long-term peace of mind.

Answers to Your Most Common Skunk Removal Questions
How long does the removal process take?
We can typically complete most skunk removal jobs in just a few days, depending on the number of animals we need to relocate and how quickly they enter the traps. Once they’re captured, we move right into sealing and cleanup to protect your home as soon as possible.
Does homeowners' insurance cover damage from skunks?
Some policies cover damage caused by wild animals, but coverage varies depending on your insurer and the specific policy you have. We’ll document the damage for you so that you can provide proof to your insurance company.
Can I remove skunks myself, or do I need a professional?
No, DIY attempts can lead to injury or exposure to harmful substances, and they rarely address the root of the problem. Our professionals provide safe trapping, proper relocation, and complete exclusion so the skunks don’t return.
