How do you release the skunk safely without risk of being sprayed?

ByJul 31, 2024

1 Answer |

Answer This Question

RELEASING Always check local ordinances that may exist prior to releasing. Skunks should be relocated at least 5 miles away to avoid their return. Once a skunk and many other animals have been trapped they are far less likely to be trapped again. Remain quiet while transporting to keep the skunk as calm as possible. Release in an open area. Place the trap on the ground with the release door facing away toward the open area. Open the release door while remaining behind the trap and walk away. Skunks are less inclined to spray if they do not see you and if they have an open, unobstructed escape route. When they do not feel threatened skunks typically prefer to escape rather than spray. Generally skunks will not exit the trap immediately. It is common for them to wait 15-20 minutes before exiting.

Answer This Question

Ours hasn't and it has gotten really wet a lot.

By|May 5, 2023

I'm sure over time the spring mechanism would if you leave it out in the elements but if you keep all parts clean and oiled it should be fine. I've had mine close to a year and no problems..

By|May 5, 2023

No, has mostly aluminum parts and a tough plastic housing

By|Apr 23, 2021

No it is completely painted. Highly recommend this trap. Got my skunk the first night I put the trap out. Also easy release.

By|May 5, 2023

It shouldn't. All the metal parts are aluminum or galvanized steel.

By|May 5, 2023

Is the release door on the opposite end of the trap door,so the animal can go out forward and not have to back out.

Is this sealed? Specifically, would it keep in the skunk spray?

ByNov 5, 2016

Answer This Question

This is sealed, however you would still smell the skunk spray.

By|Feb 20, 2019

No it is not completely sealed. Reason: If the trap was completely sealed the animal wouldn't get any air and would die. Remember the skunk is just as afraid of you as you are of it.

By|Aug 7, 2020

(1)

Sealed. No risk of being sprayed

By|Feb 20, 2019

(1)

No, if the skunk sprayed the smell would get out.

By|Feb 20, 2019

I didn't have a problem with spray, the size is just right for them to get in easily, but can't raise their tail to spray.

How do you know that a skunk is in the trap? Can you see that it is not another animal

ByJul 28, 2015

Answer This Question

There is a clear window on the top of the trap that let's you see in the trap without the animal seeing you. Also you might hear the animal moving around inside of the trap.

Yes you can see via a window in the top

By|Feb 20, 2019

Look through the window on top.

By|Sep 30, 2023

There is a clear viewing window just under the handle, although it was still difficult to tell what was in the trap.

By|Feb 20, 2019

(2)

There is a clear plexiglas plate on top near the handle which allows you to see what's trapped.
