Skunk Removal in Lakewood Park, FL
Skunk removal aimed at the den rather than the divots — the block-set shed, screen-enclosure kick plate or trailer pad a Lakewood Park skunk sleeps under between feeding nights on the irrigated turf. Removed calmly, then trenched shut in steel.
Why skunks are common in Lakewood Park
Most Lakewood Park calls start with the lawn: shallow pits punched through irrigated St. Augustine, pine flatwoods a block behind the fence. Skunk removal in Lakewood Park works the other end of that problem, at the shed or block skirting the animal sleeps under between feeding nights. The lawn is a symptom; the den is the job.
Lots here run wide and most carry something raised off the ground: a shed on concrete blocks, a screen enclosure with a gap at the slab edge, a boat trailer parked on bare sand. Oak hammock and pine flatwoods reach the back fences, so an animal crosses no open ground getting from cover to a den.
Foraging follows the mowed banks of the retention lakes and the drainage line along Five Mile Creek, where irrigation keeps grubs and mole crickets near the surface. A skunk holds two or three dens on one route and rotates through them, which is why sealing a shed the same week digging starts often only shifts the animal next door.
Skunk pits run about three inches deep, cone-shaped and scattered at random — shallower and messier than the ridged rooting armadillos leave on these same lots.
Signs of a skunk problem in Lakewood Park
In Lakewood Park, these are the signs it's time to call — before the damage spreads.
Pits after an irrigation night
Digging shows up the morning after the sprinklers run, because soft wet turf lets a skunk reach grubs it could not work out of dry sand.
Musk along the hammock fence
Skunk smell hanging on the hammock-side fence line at night, with no spray incident anywhere on the lot, usually marks a travel route rather than a den.
A polished trail under the shed
Fur-smoothed sand and flattened grass at one corner of a block-set shed shows nightly use; skunks re-enter through the same gap every time.

Dealing with skunks in Lakewood Park? We respond the same day.
Call for same-day service · (772) 227-1522The spots skunks pick on a Lakewood Park lot
Anything raised off the sand is worth a look.
Under porches & decks
The dark crawl space beneath a porch or deck is the classic skunk den.
Sheds & foundation gaps
Openings under sheds and along the foundation give skunks a sheltered burrow.
Woodpiles & debris
Piles of wood and yard debris offer temporary harborage close to the house.
Keeping skunks away from Lakewood Park homes
Removing the skunk is half the work. These steps keep the next one out of your Lakewood Park home.
Close the gap where screen-enclosure kick plates meet the slab; skunks push loose panels aside.
Trench galvanized hardware cloth a foot down around shed skirting and block-set outbuildings.
Store birdseed and pet feed in metal bins, not bags in an open carport.
Keep grub treatment current on irrigated turf near the retention lakes and Five Mile Creek.
If wildlife returns through a spot we sealed, we come back at no charge. Satisfaction Guaranteed — If our exclusion fails, we take responsibility.
Why DIY trapping goes wrong with a skunk
The spray is only half of the reason.
Rabies vector
Skunks are a rabies-vector species in Florida and should never be approached or handled.
Spray & lingering odor
A skunk’s musk lingers for weeks and is miserable to remove — spray-safe technique is essential.
