The Dangers of Skunk Infestations
Why Skunk Removal is Essential
Skunks are more than just a nuisance; they can cause:
- Odor contamination that lingers on homes, pets, and vehicles.
- Health risks due to their ability to carry rabies and other diseases.
- Damage to lawns as they dig for grubs and insects.
- Risk to pets, as skunks may spray or bite if threatened.
Skunks often seek shelter under porches, decks, and crawl spaces, making professional removal essential. Call Us Today and Schedule Your Free Inspection! 615.469.6000

I needed to keep rats out of my house and hired them to seal up all their entry points. I got several bids and theirs was significantly lower. Once they finished their work, I had no more trouble with rats. They're very easy to deal with.And always responded promptly to any questions.I had.

Found bats roosting in my attic…A LOT OF BATS. Called multiple companies for quotes and not only was Trapper Jack the most transparent, affordable and thorough, the team was kind, understanding and thoughtful through the entire process. I had no idea I couldn’t just call and have them removed. As a protected species, both federally and locally, I was forced to live with the situation for over a month, including a possible maternity colony having babies in my attic turned maternity ward AND the dreaded bat bugs made their way into my living area. Trapper Jack explained everything in depth, did as much work as they could prior to legally being able to exclude the bats (including ridge guards in most areas, extensive clean-up and answering my never ending questions and concerns). From my first call with Greg who put me in contact with Drew, I could not have been more pleased. The installers were efficient and kind. Drew went over and above as he knew I was beyond stressed. 6 weeks later, I can say I am bat free, fully restored/cleaned and have ridge guards in place so bats cannot get back in. Thank you so much, Drew and the Trapper Jack team!

Ben did a great job in getting the squirrel and bird out of my attic. I forgot the guys name that closed off the hole and replaced the facing board, but he did a great job as well. I can now sleep in peace!

Ben was friendly, punctual, knowledgeable, and a great communicator! We got pictures along the way and knew exactly what he was doing and when, which was reassuring because the work had to be done while we were out of town. Excellent company to work with, fair prices, highly recommend!

Trapper Jack was suggested to me by a good friend who had used them successfully several times. I had been dealing with a pretty severe rodent problem in my home and in spite of working with a pest control company was not having success. I met with Drew and he immediately came up with suggestions and solutions and we quickly begin making positive progress. I have since worked with other members of the company and I’m so pleased with their knowledge ,their friendliness and their dedication to helping me resolve what has been a pretty stressful situation . their prices are very reasonable, especially given the tough nature of this line of work. We are seeing in the light at the end of the tunnel, and I will continue to use them once this problem is taken care of and use their guidance to help me going farther. They have been awesome and I have happily given their name to neighbors and friends.
