Summary: When an Austin homeowner discovered a skunk family had moved under their deck in Milwood, it was time for Prickly Pear Wildlife to orchestrate a polite but firm eviction. What started as a single skunk sighting soon blossomed into a full-blown family affair, complete with three adorable (and pungent!) little ones. Our team became the ultimate party planners, ensuring this uninvited family found a new, more appropriate residence without any fuss or lingering odors. It was a smooth operation, leaving everyone — human and skunk alike — feeling much better!
Location: Milwood, Austin
The Problem: A homeowner in the Milwood area of Austin reported an adult skunk living under their deck. Concerns quickly escalated when the presence of three skunk kits, old enough to follow their mother, was confirmed, indicating a family had established a den on the property.
The Solution: Prickly Pear Wildlife responded swiftly, deploying humane eviction fluid strategically under the deck and the AC unit concrete pad. Our method encourages wildlife to safely relocate without direct contact or harm. A wildlife camera (Camera 13) was then installed to diligently monitor the area, ensuring the entire skunk family successfully departed the property.
The Outcome: Thanks to Prickly Pear Wildlife's thorough and humane approach, the homeowner's property in Milwood was successfully cleared of the skunk family. The family can now enjoy their outdoor space without the worry of unwelcome wildlife encounters or odors, experiencing renewed peace of mind and the assurance of a safe, pest-free environment.
