Good afternoon
Thank you for reaching out. Unfortunately, we will not be able to trap and move wildlife, such as skunk, however, you may use humane methods to encourage the animal to leave the area — such as motion-activated lights, sprinklers, or placing ammonia-soaked rags near where the skunk has been seen.
We also recommend clearing any dense shrubs, removing garbage or debris, and avoid leaving pet food or other food sources outside, as these can attract wildlife.
If you have any other questions or concerns, please contact our non-emergency dispatch line at (209) 249-1800 for further assistance.
Best regards,
Community Services Division
