Skunk Trapping in Haddonfield, NJ
On Haddonfield's tight borough lots, a skunk denned under one porch is really denned under three neighbors' evenings. The old detached garages, latticed porches, and stone-pier foundations here make ideal dens, and Acorn Wildlife in Cherry Hill, NJ removes their tenants without anyone getting sprayed.
Short answer: Acorn Wildlife traps Haddonfield skunks in fully covered live traps checked daily, so the animal has no target and no reason to spray. Kit checks run from May into June, and a buried barrier afterward closes the den site for good.
Where Skunks Den in an Old Borough
The giveaway is a 4 to 6 inch dig at the porch skirt or garage slab edge with soil thrown behind it, plus faint musk on humid nights and small cone-shaped holes across the lawn where the skunk grubs after dark. Density changes the stakes here: on a 50-foot lot, a startled skunk's spray reaches your neighbor's open windows too, and dogs let into small fenced yards at night meet dens at point-blank range. It's the most common way Haddonfield homeowners find out.
Short answer: Under the structures built before slab foundations: latticed Victorian porches, carriage-house garages on back lot lines, and additions on brick piers. Skunks follow the Crows Woods and Cooper River green corridor into town at night, and a shaded crawl-height void with one loose lattice panel is a finished den.
Covered Traps on Close Lot Lines
A skunk sprays only what it can see and aim at, so our traps are solid-sided or fully covered, placed directly on the den path, and positioned away from doors, windows, and HVAC intakes, yours and the neighbors'. New Jersey requires daily trap checks and we keep them. From May into June we inspect under the structure for kits before setting anything, because trapping a mother out from under a porch and leaving kits behind trades a smell problem for a worse one. Family removals take the extra visits and we price them honestly.
A Recent Skunk Job in Haddonfield
A latticed wraparound porch near Crows Woods where the family dog took a direct hit at 10 p.m.: the inspection found an active dig under the porch steps, and it was June, so we checked for kits first and found four. The family was removed together over two visits, nobody sprayed. We then rebuilt the lattice over a trenched hardware-cloth footing so the void under that porch is permanently off the market.

Every Acorn Job Starts With a Free Inspection

It takes as long as it takes: often an hour, sometimes two. There is no charge for the visit.
