| Skunk Trapping and Removal (mephitis mephitis) |
To be honest; we love skunks. The pictures at the left
were of an abandoned toddler we found wandering
through our campground. He had an eye infection and
several ticks were latched onto him.
Garden State Wildlife Control works closely with a
New Jersey Certified Wildlife Rehabilitator in cases
of injured or orphaned juvenile skunks. The juveniles
are raised to be "teenagers" and released into an
appropriate environment.
Have I been sprayed? Yes. It took about three days
for the smell to completely leave my skin, and half a
bottle of Aqua Di Gio wouldn't cover the smell.

Juvenile wildlife are understandably more
docile than adults. When adult skunk removal
is performed, we utilize trapping methods
which prevent exposure to spray.
Skunks are a primary rabies vector species in
New Jersey, so the same trapping methods
apply to prevent exposure to diseases which
are primarily specific to wild animals.
