Skunk Trapping in Moorestown, NJ

A musky smell that drifts through the yard at night, cone-shaped holes in the lawn, and a fresh gap under the porch: that is the Moorestown skunk call. The older neighborhoods near Strawbridge Lake get more of them than anywhere else we work in Burlington County.

Short answer: Acorn Wildlife traps Moorestown skunks in fully covered live traps set at the den entrance, which keeps the tail down and the spray in, then seals the deck, porch, or shed with a buried barrier. The inspection is included. Call or Text (856) 398-1028.

The lawn tells you first. Shallow cone-shaped holes scattered across the grass overnight mean a skunk is digging for grubs, and in Moorestown that traffic concentrates on the well-watered lawns near the lake and along the Swede Run corridor. The den comes second: a 4 to 6 inch opening with kicked-out soil under a deck, a century-old porch, or a shed that sits on grade.

Season shapes the job. From May into June, a den under a Moorestown porch usually holds a mother with kits, so we check before trapping and remove the family together rather than orphaning kits under your floor. In early fall the digging peaks, because grubs ride high in the soil and skunks are putting on weight. Either season, the permanent fix is the same buried barrier.
