Dealing with mystery holes in a yard can be quite the puzzle, especially when the culprit could be anything from a ground squirrel to a raccoon. In Huntington Beach I had this happen and the homeowner was convinced it was a mole at work. I knew that it was a skunk.
I recommended to set a humane animal trap but the homeowner initially declined. The very next day, their poor dog fell victim to a skunk’s spray and now the homeowner swiftly requested the trap be set.
I returned to set the skunk trap. Sure enough, by morning, the skunk was caught.
You never know with wild animals and sometimes they leave on their own but this ended up being a stinky situation.
