There are baby skunks under my College Park deck — what do I do? +

How much does skunk removal cost in College Park, Georgia? +
Skunk trapping and removal in Georgia typically costs $200–$500+. Deodorization of a sprayed area under a deck or inside a crawlspace adds $150–$400+. Exclusion to prevent skunks from returning to the same den site under your College Park structure adds $200–$500+.
Are skunks in Georgia dangerous? +
Skunks are one of the primary rabies carriers in Georgia, regulated by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. A skunk that is active in daylight, approaches humans, or moves erratically may be rabid and should be treated as an emergency. Do not attempt to trap or handle a potentially rabid skunk — call a licensed professional in College Park immediately.
How do skunks get under my deck in College Park? +
Skunks dig under skirting, through soil gaps, and around openings at the base of any structure that provides sheltered den access. Females specifically seek these locations in late winter to give birth. Once a skunk has denned under your College Park structure, it will return the following year if the entry point is not sealed with buried hardware cloth.
What time of year are skunks most dangerous in Georgia? +
Skunk activity in Georgia peaks during breeding season — January through March — when males roam at night seeking mates and have a strong spraying response to any perceived threat. This is the period with the highest risk of pets being sprayed near College Park homes. Females establish den sites under structures in February and March to give birth, and will remain until kits are fully weaned — typically 8–10 weeks.
How do I get rid of skunk smell in my College Park home? +
Enzyme-based commercial deodorizers outperform home remedies like tomato juice. For spray inside a crawlspace or enclosed area in College Park, professional-grade oxidizing agents and fogging equipment are required. Standard store-bought products rarely eliminate skunk odor completely from confined spaces — professional deodorization is the only reliable solution.
