There is a skunk under my porch, will someone come and take it away?

Skunks are native to this area. Unless it is sick we do not remove it. You can put some rags with ammonia or block the area around the deck - that should discourage the animal. Also, make sure that your trash cans are covered tightly so that skunks and raccoons cannot get into them seeking food. If the animal is sick, we will come and put it to sleep. If you see any animal acting strangely, be sure to keep your children and pets away.
