What we see most in Albertville

What you should know about skunk removal
Biology & Behavior
Skunks dig dens under decks, sheds, and outbuildings. They are slow-moving but will spray defensively from up to 10 feet. Their digging follows grubs and earthworm activity.
When this happens in Albertville
Mating runs Feb–Mar (peak spray complaints), kits born April–May. Yard digging spikes in late summer when grubs are large.
Alabama & Federal Regulations
Striped skunks are an unprotected nuisance species in Alabama; live trapping and removal are legal year-round.
Disease & Safety Risks
Rabies is a real concern in skunks across the Southeast; any daytime activity or unusual tameness warrants immediate professional handling.
Materials We Actually Use
Tarp-covered live traps (spray prevention), 1/2" hardware cloth buried 12 inches deep, L-shaped exclusion barriers, deodorizing agents for active spray events.
