In addition to their unpleasant odor, skunks can be carriers of disease, fleas, and ticks.

Humane Skunk Removal
At Pestex, we use safe and humane methods for skunk control in Boston to remove the wildlife from your home without harming it. We begin with a thorough inspection to identify the places of harborage that skunks have used to make themselves at home on your property. It is important to locate how the animals have gained access and their dens to ensure that they are safely removed.
After the skunks have been removed, they will take most of their smell with them. We will take the time to thoroughly clean and sanitize the accessible areas and provide tips about how you can discourage infestations of skunks or other wildlife in the future. Our services are always customized to your unique requirements.
