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.

    I've had a great experience with Thomas at Topper's Wildlife Removal. He was at my house within 90 minutes of my first call. Within 24 hours he caught a rabbit which he removed immediatley. Thomas set 3 traps in the backyard. He comes out every other day to replace and replenish new bait/food, checks on things, possibly repositions traps, etc. And, within a few days of the first rabbit caught he caught another one. He picks up the rabbits the day they hit the trap. Additionally, Thomas is trying out a new product in my yard he might be offering soon -- for my yard, he used 6 little grey pods and/or cans he set 4 feet apart around my flower bed - it's like an aerosol repellent to deter rabbits - it's working as the green leaves are coming back and hopefully soon flowers. We are still testing it, that said, it seems promising. Thomas's communication via text regarding updating me has been outstanding. He is professional, knowledgeable and very honest. It's been a pleasure doing business with him. I highly recommend and endorse his services at Topper's Wildlife Removal.
