Story of the Month
Spring is almost here and already some animals have come out of hibernation. The trapping business in general becomes very slow during the winter months. Early to mid-March shows a slow but steady increase in varmint sightings, skunk smells and calls for the removal of the nuisance animals. I will spend a lot of time over the coming months trapping and relocating nuisance animals, such as raccoons, opossum, skunks, rats, mice and Coyotes from property in the Farmington/Farmington Hills and surrounding areas.
Many people ask, what do I do with the animals I live trap, such as skunks. My standard, favorite, answer is “Well, I let them go”, they always ask where do I release them, I respond, “At my next client, of course”. It usually takes about 5 to 10 seconds for it to register that I am kidding with them. Releasing animals is not rocket science; however, how I deal with a trapped skunk is a trade secret. I do not want to be responsible for a novice to accidentally get a special gift from their new striped friend. In reality, I must follow the guidelines outlined by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. The license that was issued to me, and my competitors, is very specific in dealing with animals caught in live traps. Most animals can be released in a habitat that is conducive to their well-being. Unfortunately, some animals need to be destroyed, such as rabid, injured, or animals that otherwise will cause harm to themselves or there surroundings.
Remember, animals are among us and for the most part they just want to live quietly and will remain unseen. With our expansion into animal habitats, our encounters will only increase. Removal should be considered when animals become a danger to humans or property. Apartment complex residents are usually the first to experience nuisance animal problems in the spring. The mere numbers of dumpsters in a large complex are a smorgasbord of fresh delicacies. Raccoons, Opossum, and Skunks are the main culprits that tend to startle residents as they dispose of their refuge.
Imagine yourself taking the garbage out early in the morning before you go to work. It’s still dark out as you walk to your dumpster across the parking area. You have done this chore a thousand times since you moved in with nothing to fear except the cold morning air. You approach the dumpster and lift the lid; it slams loudly metal against metal. Suddenly, one, two, or more raccoons jump out, or worse yet, you startled a skunk or two. I don’t care how brave you are; the surprise of this would rattle the nerves of anyone, including Trapper Ron.
Calls from homeowners, urban and rural, follow the apartment complexes. Skunks hibernate in January and February, usually for two coldest months of the year. You may have already noticed the smell of skunks in your area; they are looking for food and a cozy place to sleep during the daytime hours. Low-lying decks, preferably those with dryer vents exhausting warm air, are the preferred locations for bedding around homes. Skunks primarily eat grubs, insects, and worms when the ground is loose enough for them to dig. When the ground is frozen they will eat anything, including irresistible tidbits in garbage cans or dumpsters.
For those who are brave enough to capture a skunk on their own, live traps can be purchased at your local hardware store (or rent one from WWW.TRAPPERRON.COM). Bait it accordingly, and wait for your skunk to be trapped. It may take a couple of days, and you may catch other animals in the process. Eventually you will trap the skunk or skunks in your area. I can tell you there is no greater feeling when you trap the animal that has caused your nose to turn. The problem comes after the animal is trapped--now what.
I recently received a call from a local women who decided to live trap a skunk that was on her property. The good news is she caught the pesky critter, the bad news is she didn’t know how to transport or how release the varmint. She was very concerned about getting sprayed and didn’t want to put it in her car. She had called several of my well-known competitors for assistance and their fees were out of line with her budget. She was very concerned about the cost of removing the animal and I tried to accommodate her. As you all know by now, I will gladly assist anyone in need, when possible. As a compromise, I traded removing the skunk in lieu of her live trap. In the end, everyone was happy, she got rid of the varmint and I got a new cage.

What Should You Do When There Are Raccoon Babies In Your Chimney ?
Chimney Flue Caps will stop un-wanted visitors from taking up residence in your chimneys.
Fortunately, most people do not use their chimney during the breeding season of most mammals. In 4-8 weeks the babies will eventually be moved to another site. Waiting it out is the easiest solution. Using harassment techniques (noise) may speed up the eventual move, but the risk of abandonment exists. Once the babies are gone, CAP the chimney. As the saying goes "You can pay a little now or pay alot later !"

The Sweet Smell of Spring Time Skunks
Let’s face it whether you see a skunk or smell a skunk the encounter is an unpleasant nose turning experience for most people. I have made a living out of trapping and relocating skunks and a host of other animals, such as raccoons, opossum, rats and mice, from property in the Farmington/Farmington Hills and surrounding areas. I can honesty tell you that there are exponentially more skunks than imaginable prowling our neighborhoods. Now, I don’t necessarily mind removing the animals for you because when you smell the odor of a skunk all I smell is the aroma of money.
There are a few simple tactics in removing skunks from you property. The first is to remove all food sources. Many people when they look at their lawns believe that they have mole problems, but in fact, many times they have skunk problems. Skunks can relentlessly tear up a lawn looking for grubs, which can easily be mistaken for moles tunnels and pop ups. Regardless if you believe it is moles or skunks, the first thing I recommend is to have your lawn checked and/or treated for grubs.
Secondly, I recommend taking your garbage out to the street the morning of garbage pick up days. Skunks are nocturnal creature’s typically venturing out between 11:00 PM and 5:00 AM. Skunks are primarily carnivores and will eat anything that smells like rotting meat such as steak, chicken, hot dogs, etc… By waiting until the morning you remove an additional potentially tasty food source for the skunks as well as other varmints.
Additionally, skunks and opossum will take over ground hog holes for their dens. Fill in all holes in your yard that may have been used by a ground hog or any holes that are large enough to allow a large house cat to enter. You may have to keep filling the same hole for a couple of days, but eventually the skunk will tire of re-digging his sleeping quarters each morning and will move on to an easier location to bed down.
Low laying decks are the skunk’s favorite bedding location. It offers a safe and warm location away from dogs, people and other predators who wish to harm them. You can deter skunks by barricading the outer perimeter of your deck with decorative block or wood. Skunks are inherently lazy and will not bother themselves with digging under the blocks to get to a bed site.
Lastly, you can go to your local hardware store and purchase a live trap (Average Price about $45.00) large enough for a skunk, bait it accordingly, and wait for your skunk to be trapped. There is no greater feeling when you trap the animal that has caused your nose to turn. The problem comes after the animal is trapped— NOW WHAT! Well I can’t help you with that, you can drive it far away from your property and release it back into the wild…but be careful, they can become very edgy by the time you open the trap to freedom. I won’t recommend transporting live skunks in trunks of cars for obvious reasons; use a pickup truck without a cap.
Oh, by the way when trapping for skunks, don’t let you dog out of the house in morning to do its duty. I can almost guarantee that they will go right up to the cage of the trapped skunk and more than likely your one problem will double.
The following recipe works well when you or a pet are sprayed during a skunk encounter. Mix quart of hydrogen peroxide with a cup of baking powder and a tablespoon of Dawn dish soap in a bucket. Stir until thoroughly combined and wash yourself/pet liberally. This is not 100 percent, but it seems to work fairly well. The trick is not to allow yourself or pets to get sprayed in the first place. If you are wondering, I have never been sprayed.
If you still have issues with a skunk and would like to have professional come out and review your situation, make sure they are insured and licensed with the Department of Natural Resources. There are a number of company’s that will take care of trapping and removing animals, do your homework and make sure you know what are all of the costs associated with the services and if there are any guarantees.
There are a few simple tactics in removing skunks from you property. The first is to remove all food sources. Many people when they look at their lawns believe that they have mole problems, but in fact, many times they have skunk problems. Skunks can relentlessly tear up a lawn looking for grubs, which can easily be mistaken for moles tunnels and pop ups. Regardless if you believe it is moles or skunks, the first thing I recommend is to have your lawn checked and/or treated for grubs.
Secondly, I recommend taking your garbage out to the street the morning of garbage pick up days. Skunks are nocturnal creature’s typically venturing out between 11:00 PM and 5:00 AM. Skunks are primarily carnivores and will eat anything that smells like rotting meat such as steak, chicken, hot dogs, etc… By waiting until the morning you remove an additional potentially tasty food source for the skunks as well as other varmints.
