My backyard faces a large green space. The backyard flower beds were being destroyed by animals digging. Topper identified the entry points into the yard and set traps. The traps successfully removed armadillos, possums and skunks from my yard and the digging stoppped.
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.
