Skunk Removal & Exclusion
At APX Wildlife Specialists, we provide safe, effective, and long-term skunk solutions in Eastern CT to protect your home and eliminate the problem for good.
Common Skunk Problems
Skunks often take shelter in low, protected areas around structures.
Common den locations include:
• Under decks
• Beneath sheds
• Crawl spaces
• Porches and additions
Signs of skunk activity include:
• Strong, persistent odor around your property
• Small burrow openings near structures
• Tracks or disturbed soil
• Lawn damage from digging for insects and grubs
Skunks are mostly active at night, and once they establish a den, they tend to stay and reuse it—especially during breeding and birthing season.
Health & Safety Risks
Skunks pose more than just an odor issue:
• They are a known rabies vector species in the U.S.
• Spraying can cause lingering odor problems that are difficult to remove
• Digging can damage lawns and structural areas
• Pets are often at risk of direct encounters
Avoid contact and never attempt to handle a skunk yourself.

Opossum Removal & Damage Control
When opossums take shelter on your property, they can create mess, odor, and ongoing nuisance issues. At APX Wildlife Specialists, we provide safe, effective, and long-term opossum solutions to keep your home protected.
Common Opossum Problems
Here in CT, opossums look for dark, sheltered areas close to food sources and will often settle under structures.
Common den locations include:
• Under decks
• Beneath sheds
• Crawl spaces
• Garages and porches
Signs of opossum activity include:
• Noises at night (they are strictly nocturnal)
• Knocked-over trash cans or scattered debris
• Foul odors from nesting areas
• Tracks or visible movement after dark
While not as destructive as some animals, opossums can still create unsanitary and disruptive conditions if allowed to stay.
Health & Property Concerns
Opossums can pose several issues around your home:
• Carry parasites such as fleas and ticks
• Leave behind droppings and urine in den sites
• Create unpleasant odors in confined areas
• Scavenge trash and pet food, attracting more wildlife
They may also return repeatedly if a shelter area is not properly secured.

At APX Wildlife Specialists, we don’t just remove opossums—we address the root of the problem.
Our process includes:
• Full inspection of the property
• Identification of den and access points
• Safe and humane removal
• Sealing and exclusion of entry areas
• Reinforcement to prevent future intrusion
We ensure your home is fully secured against re-entry.
If you’re hearing noises at night or noticing signs of activity, don’t wait.
