Call (502) 200-8812 — Free QuoteEvery effective skunk job starts with a thorough inspection. Skunk evidence is easy to misread: the odor often drifts far from the actual den, lawn digging can come from raccoons as well as skunks, and a single burrow entrance under a deck may hide a den with a litter inside. Our licensed technicians walk your full property — foundations, decks, porches, sheds, crawl space vents, and fence lines — and identify exactly which animal you have, where it's living, and how it's getting in.
You receive a written report documenting active dens and entry points, damage found, risk factors like grub-heavy turf or accessible pet food, and a clear quote for whatever work is actually needed. No guesswork, no paying for services your property doesn't need — and if the inspection finds nothing active, we tell you that too.

Common Questions About Skunk Inspection
How do you tell whether a den under my deck is active?
We look for fresh digging, tracks, hair caught at the entrance, and odor intensity, and where needed we use tracking indicators at the entry point overnight. Confirming activity matters because sealing an occupied den traps the animal inside — verification is always step one.
I smell skunk constantly but see nothing. Is an inspection worth it?
Yes — persistent odor at one location is the most common sign of a hidden den, often in a crawl space, under a porch, or beneath a neighboring structure. Locating the source is exactly what an inspection is for, and it's far cheaper than treating odor symptoms indefinitely.
Does the inspection fee go toward the removal work?
If you move forward with the recommended work, the inspection is credited toward the job. Call (502) 200-8812 for current inspection pricing and same-week availability across Louisville and Southern Indiana.
