Howdy Guys. Not an expert here so this is why I'm here. I have a lady who has a skunk under her sunroom . She lost here husband to an accident and moved to town and bought a house . She had skunk smell the first day. Called me [Friend} to help. There is a dug hole under her steps. With cold weather the skunks will not move like summer so what can I do ? thanks Denny

I like to exclude skunks.
Dig down a foot and out about a 16 inches .Use a one way door at the existing point of entery + welded wire around the entire sun porch. This will be mostly below grade with a small horizontal section about 16 inches jutting out to prevent future dig unders. This way winter skunks can leave on their own time table, but not re occupy .
I suspect that it you just remove the skunk that you will have new skunk visitors .

They will move and can be trapped. They dont hibernate and will still need food. The trench out and hardware cloth method will work once the ground thaws.

I like to exclude skunks. As was quoted.

With all the activity this time of year that is the way to go without having to make a lot of trips potentially back and forth.

Not mating here, unless they have a pair of skunk snowshoes

Yup. Block all but one way out and put in a one way door to prevent any boyfriends from visiting and keeping them out when they leave.

Snow, poor daylight times and bad weather is when most babies are made. Historically speaking.:)

Hello all. What type of one way door would you use to exclude a skunk? Any pictures appreciated.

You can make your own if you are handy, I bought some "coontrollers" from WCS for raccoon and use them all the time on skunks.

They aren't cheap but they haven't let me down yet, when paired with a camera really makes a nice combo for exclusion scenarios of animals of a skunk and raccoon size...

The locking door I believe is a worthy upgrade if building your own or buying. I've had some rock squirrels out here beat the safeguard one ways (on film).

I use a double door trap instead of a 1 way. Same idea though.
