Why Us
Why Columbus Picks Jarrod's for Skunk Removal
Free Inspection, Price First
A licensed wildlife technician finds where the skunk is denning and how it gets in. The inspection and estimate are free, and you get the price before any work starts.
Trapped, Then Closed Off
We trap the skunk and remove it from your property. Then we close off the space under the deck, porch or shed so another skunk doesn't move in.
Same-Day and Next-Day Service
Most skunk calls get a technician out the same day or the next. Our wildlife technicians are licensed in Georgia and Alabama, and we've removed wildlife around Columbus since 2009.
Watch for the Warning Signs
A skunk stamps its front feet and raises its tail before it sprays. Back away slowly and keep pets inside. Small, cone-shaped holes in the lawn overnight often mean a skunk is digging for grubs.
Stacey C.Oct 2026 Very customer friendly, listens intently to any issues that may have come up since last treatment. Works quickly and efficiently.

Mike J.Oct 2026 
D.J. S.Oct 2026 James notifies me the day before he is coming. I appreciate this courtesy, because it gives me a heads up before I am notified by the cameras that someone is in my yard. He sprays all of the designated areas each time he comes. It must be working, because I have not had any bugs inside of the house.
RickeyOct 2026 The service is always done on time and on the day they say there will be at the house. If we have questions they always take the time to talk to us. Great job today.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to Your Skunk Removal Questions
Here is what Columbus homeowners ask us most.
How do I know a skunk is living under my house?
Look for a musky smell, a hole dug under a deck, porch or foundation, and small holes in the lawn. Skunks come out at dusk and feed at night, so you may see one cross the yard after dark.
Do skunks carry rabies?
Skunks are one of the main animals that can carry rabies. Never touch or corner a skunk, even one that seems tame. If a person or pet is bitten, call a doctor or vet right away.
Can I trap a skunk myself?
We don't recommend it. A trapped skunk can spray, and skunks can carry rabies. Our wildlife technicians know how to trap and handle a skunk safely.
Why are skunks digging up my lawn?
Skunks dig small holes at night to find grubs and insects in the soil. Fewer grubs in the lawn means less food to draw them in.
How much does skunk removal cost?
It depends on where the skunk is living and how much needs to be closed off. The inspection and estimate are free, and you get the price before any work starts.
