Set a blind set between a house and a fence next door, a perfect 1 foot gap for a double door cage. Skunks were grubbing, had just caught one across the street. Turned out to be 5 skunks for the first 5 nights next to the house. I picked up number 5 at noon, then got a call from the home owners later in the day after they had been out. They asked, "did you come today?" since the doors were "still" closed. It was then 5 p.m. Told them I had been there mid day. Not wanting to get close, they just said that something was in the trap, maybe a neighbors cat or squirrel? I was a little surprised to see yet another skunk, number 6 waiting, caught some time between noon and 5, warm sunny summer like day. Wonder how often that happens? Usually no one checks traps that often, but this was right next to the house, an easy check.

Jim: The same for mole, they love to see a couple be taken out but after 5 or so they are not as happy because of the cost. Great job!

If you think that the people that we remove them for are unhappy, you should see the ones that we give them to. When asked if I ever have trouble collecting for my services, I usually respond with "who wants to mess with someone that handles live skunks?"
