Skunk Control

Skunks under your home or deck? We trap and remove skunks in Garland and Dallas, then secure the area to prevent future problems.
Skunks are known for their smell and can cause trouble if they nest under homes, sheds, or decks. Topper’s Wildlife Removal provides skunk control in Garland, TX, and the surrounding Dallas area, using safe and humane trapping techniques.

We locate skunk den sites and set up proper traps or one-way exits to safely remove them with minimal risk of spraying.

Once removed, we perform exclusion work—screening off crawl spaces or decks to keep new skunks from moving in. We’ll also share prevention tips about food sources, shelter areas, and yard habits that attract skunks.

If you’re smelling skunk spray or seeing activity around your home, contact Topper’s Wildlife Removal for skunk removal in Garland and the Dallas area.

    Toppers is the best!!!! We were having problems with an armadillo tearing up our mulch area and our new yard! Toppers set 2 traps and came out every other day to check the digging and to reposition the traps. It was a work in progress, but they succeeded in catching an adult armadillo with 9 bands! Thomas was always very responsive to our questions and texts. He also gave us tips and recommendations, which were very helpful. I cannot say enough great comments about their service. We texted Thomas on a Sunday to tell him we had an armadillo in the cage. He came out that same day to retrieve it. Most companies would have a voicemail telling you they are closed until Monday. Don't hesitate to call Toppers for any animal issues!
