While we are sharing this planet with the wildlife San Antonio creatures, we do not want to share our property with them. There are some animals such as Texas skunks that are possible carrier of rabies. Not to mention that the scent that they release will make it unbearable to stay in your house. Every minute that you ignore the presence of the skunk in your yard can increase the expenses that you can incur. Therefore, you need to get rid of them immediately.



Cost Skunk Removal
If you are planning to handle the matters personally, there are things that you need to consider. Surely, you can save some cash, but if you do not have knowledge and experience in dealing with the skunk, the removal process can fail. You can also expose yourself and your loved ones to health and safety risks. In some states, you will also be required to carry the necessary permit before you will be allowed to conduct the trapping and removal process

Installation of Exclusion Device
The cost of installing one-way exclusion gate is around $275. Of course, you still must settle the additional tax and fees. If you hire the professional to do this, they may include warranty. This ensures that you will remain protected from the damages on the material for at least 2 years. This will only take a couple of hours. Expect that you will have to remove some plants and shrubs that stand in the way.

Installing Barriers
If you are planning to create a barrier, you will have to bury this at least 1-2ft below the ground. Therefore, you will have to shoulder the cost of digging the perimeter trench. You will then have to line it with the appropriate materials. Wire mesh would be the most common choice. The cost of this material is about $15/ft. Therefore, for a trench that measures 38ft, you will have to pay $570.

In case you are sealing certain parts of your home such as the spaces below your porch or shed, there are also additional costs that you need to think about. You will need a staple gun that cost $18 and staples at about $4.5. You will also need wire cutter and wire mesh. All in all, sealing the space under our porch can cost at around $65. Remember that these are just the initial cost. In case you fail to deliver the solution for your skunk problem, your expenses can increase exponentially.

The cost of hiring an San Antonio animal removal service starts at $100 and can increase to $300. The cost is only slightly higher than the cost of DIY removal and it does not entails too much risks. On complex cases, the company might charge you $800 but it will all be worth it. This cost does not include repairs and decontamination service. Skunks are related with health risks and damages; therefore, you want them out of your property immediately. Animal control agency targets the root cause of the infestation to prevent similar situation from occurring.
