Skunk Removal & Prevention in Olive Branch, MS

Though skunks are generally non-aggressive, having them take up residence under your deck, shed, or home creates significant risks for property owners. Striped skunks are common throughout Mississippi and Tennessee, frequently establishing dens in residential areas where food and shelter are readily available.

You may suspect a skunk problem when noticing persistent musky odors around your property, even without spraying incidents. Look for shallow, cone-shaped holes in your lawn where skunks dig for grubs and insects. Other signs include tracks with five toes and visible claw marks, disturbed garbage, or freshly dug burrows near structures. Most homeowners first notice skunk activity at night, as these nocturnal animals forage after dark.

Issues Skunks Can Cause at Your Olive Branch Home

When skunks inhabit your property, they create several significant issues:

Their powerful defensive spray can contaminate your home, belongings, and pets, creating odors that persist for weeks.
They dig extensive burrows that can damage foundations, decks, and landscape features.
Skunks are known carriers of rabies, presenting health risks to families and pets.
Their foraging behavior damages lawns and gardens as they dig for insects and grubs.
They may attract other predators to your property, compounding wildlife problems.
Territorial behaviors increase during mating season, raising the risk of spray incidents.

At Magnolia Wildlife Solutions, our wildlife specialists understand skunk behavior patterns and implement strategic removal techniques that minimize stress to the animals and eliminate risks to your property. Our comprehensive approach addresses both the immediate skunk problem and its underlying causes.

We had Jay with Magnolia Wildlife Solutions to come out and inspect the outside of our home for 🐿🐿. They were eating my Mandavillas and loud scratching in the walls. Jay was able to assist by setting up traps at the access points they had created to our actic. He then sat traps around the patio. The next day Tanner and Kyle with MWS came out to seal up the entire outside of our home from any size animals trying to get in. MWS did catch a total of 6 squirrels (2 adults and 4 babies). What a fantastic job MWS did during the entire process. We are so greatful for their prompt response and expertise in handling this and would recommend their services to anyone! Thanks again MWS for saving our home and giving us our peace of mind! Vernon & Michelle

The crew did a great job. They captured my lovely yard guest the first night. The next morning they were there to evict her. The next night another friend was captured. Jay recommended a mess netting be placed around the perimeter of my shed. They did a great job installing the netting. It was a bit pricy but worth getting rid of the problem. Thanks guys.

Jay came out within 15 minutes on a holiday to take away the snake. I love my patio and definitely don’t want any snakes crawling around. He provided quality service and gave me a peace of mind. Thanks again Jay!!

For the last year & half, I've been battling an armadillo issue...Naively, I was hoping the critter would leave on its own & roam elsewhere. However that wasn't the case; and it continue to destroy all three of my flowerbeds. Out of frustration, I contacted several critter control/removal companies. Some companies were overpriced or didn't return my phone call; while others didnt even offer armadillo removal service at that time...Even though, it was advertised on their site ! Magnolia Wildlife was very considerate of my complex work schedule; and agreed to take on the challenge after viewing my damaged flowerbeds via cell phone's photos. The company promptly addressed my issue and kept me well informed throughout the entire process. They came out daily to check the traps and moved them around the premises. It only took two days before trapping the armadillo (pictured below)...And he trapped another armadillo two more days later !! 😳 The owner (Jay) was very patient and empathetic when my fear and anxiety arose after the second armadillo's entrapment...He returned every call/text in a timely manner ! Thanks again Magnolia Wildlife for saving my flowerbeds !!..Now, Im off to Digger O'Dell Nursery to replenish them 🤗

We were noticing a skunk smell in mom’s bedroom and didn’t have an idea how to go about finding if there were skunks under the house. Jay was recommended by the pest control she uses and I had also found his company had good reviews after a search on the internet. Jay came out quickly and worked to get the animals out from the crawl space and sealed the access to the crawl space so she won’t have to deal with this again. It was quite the adventure watching the traps but glad it is over.

Jay does a great job! He was responsive and kept me up to date on progress. Magnolia Wildlife helped me remove beavers from a detention pond after their dams caused flooding. I would highly recommend.

I really appreciate Jay. He was very quick to respond and very professional. I hope I do not see any more snakes but if I by chance see one I will be giving Magnolia Wildlife(Jay) a call again.

I woke up to the horrifying sound of mice scratching away inside my walls on a Saturday morning. Since it was the weekend, I didn’t think that anybody would be in the office to take my call so I submitted a request online. Jay called me back within 30 minutes of my request.Not only was he very responsive, but he came out for the initial consultation on a Sunday, which is unheard of! Jay and his team were prompt, professional and communicative and took care of our issue right away. Strongly recommend using Magnolia Wildlife for any pest removal needs!

Ten days ago, we had squirrels nesting in our attic and tearing up the place, driving us and our dog up the walls with the scratching sounds. Now they're out, the damage is repaired with concrete and steel in a way that looks almost like they were never here in the first place, and frankly, good luck to any more little buggers tryna get in again. The Magnolia Wildlife Solutions folks did an excellent job. Will absolutely use these folks again if we need them for some other reason, but I don't think squirrels nesting in this house is gonna be an issue ever again.

Jay and his crew were easy to work with. They were thorough, knowledgeable, and professional. The solutions they provided seem to have solved our critter issues both short and long term.

Comprehensive Skunk Trapping & Control Solutions

Our skunk management process involves several specialized steps designed for maximum effectiveness and safety. We begin with a thorough property assessment to identify active skunk dens, entry points, and attractants.

Following capture, we implement exclusion measures to seal potential den sites and entry points under decks, sheds, and crawlspaces using heavy-gauge screening and other durable materials. We then apply natural deterrents and habitat modification strategies to make your property less attractive to future skunk visitors. Our service includes follow-up inspections to ensure complete resolution and ongoing protection.
