Skunk Removal and Control in Seattle

What kind of bait is used for catching a skunk - Skunks are scavengers for the most part, so almost any food item in a cage trap has a good chance of luring in a skunk. That being said, these critters have a soft spot for meat products. You have to be careful when baiting a trap; if you live in a neighborhood, cats and small dogs can also become victims. While moist cat food is very aromatic and alluring for a skunk, it’s not ideal if you do live in an urban setting. For people who can’t use meat products in their traps, using bread or marshmallows will be a satisfying alternative. This might also bring in a raccoon, but only if you’ve set it in the path of travel for a local raccoon. To try and catch your skunk, place your trap near any disturbed areas of grass in the yard where the animal has been digging. You can also put it near a suspected skunk den, like under a shed or a deck. Make sure the trap is level and is free from any scary noises or wobbling. Cover the top and sides with a heavy blanket or tarp, and then place your bait.
