Skunk Inspection Under Large Deck (Cambridge)

A wildlife inspection was completed at this Cambridge property after the homeowner reported skunk activity beneath both the front and rear decks. Strong skunk odour was immediately detected during the inspection, confirming active wildlife use beneath the structure. Multiple vulnerable areas were identified around the deck, including open access beneath the lattice, digging activity, displaced soil, and damaged skirting that allowed skunks to freely enter and den underneath. For wildlife removal in Cambridge call: 226-778-2056 The inspection found several active dig-in locations around the deck perimeter, along with failed lattice and lightweight mesh that had been pushed aside by wildlife. The large open space beneath the elevated deck created an ideal shelter for skunks and other nuisance animals. Additional structural concerns were documented, including areas where the existing mesh lacked proper anchoring, making complete wildlife exclusion more challenging. Due to the size of the structure, measuring approximately 140 feet in perimeter, a full below-grade wildlife exclusion system was recommended. The proposed solution included trenching around the deck, installing heavy-duty galvanized wildlife mesh below grade, and reinforcing the entire perimeter to prevent future skunk activity. Large deck exclusions often require staged installation and careful planning to secure every potential wildlife entry point. Work was performed by Andrew in Cambridge, with a complete skunk inspection, deck assessment, and wildlife exclusion plan prepared during this visit. #skunkremoval #wildliferemoval #wildlifeinspection #skunkexclusion For skunk removal in Cambridge: https://www.wildliferemovalcambridge.ca/
