Behind The Scenes Skunk Removal With Gates Wildlife Control
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 лис 2020
- Did you happen to see Gates Wildlife on City News this past May? Audra Brown interviewed Brad Gates, Owner of Gates Wildlife Control and caught us in action while we removed 5 baby skunks from under a deck in Richmond Hill.
As you can see in our UA-cam videos, we try to give our followers a “behind the scenes” view into our jobs. On this job, we were able to do that in addition to a behind the scenes look into the news spot on City News. These baby skunks were born under a front deck of a home. The deck had been rebuilt over top of 2 other decks in the past, which meant we had to break past 3 layers of deck boards to access the babies. At the time of this job, we knew City News was prepared to come film us on a job site so we called them immediately.
The story covers our humane removal process, tips for homeowners and cute wildlife babies!

Omg those teeny babies are so cute.
These guys restore my faith in humanity.
Those babies are so sweet. Doing a great job
Maybe you should adopt one
@@lordhoho1 I always wanted a pet skunk 🦨
Animals are so amazing & are wonderful mothers.
So stinking cute ;)
Love these guys, Gates Wildlife Control too! Don't pint that thing at me...Dude Run!
Those babies are just adorable
Amazing job. Keep up the good work because your team is official
I have a horse sanctuary and usually have skunks living under the hay during the winter. they get very fat because of the cat food that they share with the barn cats. one year we had 5 skunks one almost pure white and obese. she waddled and it wasn't pregnancy. when coming into the barn in the early morning I usually see them and ask them very nicely to go back under the hay so I can give the cats and them some food. love seeing them eat with the cats. and they always quietly crawl under the pallets of hay.
Did have one, one year, thumped but I waited and asked nicely for her to move back under and she finally did. they are so dang cute. always knew when the raccoons were in the area, they always spray then.
This year no skunks. We had a dog (almost a yr old) dumped here and she with her barking, keeps them away. She wants to be friends with everybody including mice. she's a nut. tried to find her a home but nobody wanted her so she's here to stay and got her spayed.
I actually saw one of your vans out on the road last Friday, followed for a bit to say hi but lost ya due to all the darn Toronto road work lol
That's too bad - the never ending Toronto construction! Don't hesitate to say hi if you see us again!
I’m just wondering if any of the relocating mamas have ever taken to the baby box and decided to stay in there as it’s heated and safe in there?
Thanks for taking care of the living beings and providing a heated box for the babies and good that the mother came back to relocated them. Hopefully far away.
in town there is no far away ,
As always a great job!
Loved it!
Baby skunks are so cute
The kits are so cute!
I'm watching a skunk outside my window right now and my dog is laying down six feet from her.
We're lucky, our many skunks never dig or spray. So far.
By "alternate den site", he means your neighbour, who will be calling this guy in a few days. At any given time, there's actually only ever one family each of skunk, raccoon, and fox.
they call each other by name now like on the loony tunes clocking in to work lol
Yah, these smelly bastards do a shit ton of property dmg. I’m not a fan of letting these “pests” choose their next home to invade. They should be relocated far away (forests etc).
LOL I never thought about that... Job security I guess!
@@RY-yk9he trying catch the mother skunk sounds like a horrible idea.
Great channel
Has an animal thought the relocation box was a good home and tried to use it as the new home? I love your videos. Cheers.
I've seen a couple of them that animals had to be booted out of. But only a few on here.
It's a special heat box, to keep the babies warm until their mother comes back for rhem, I guess they are expensive?
You guys are awesome
Hell yeah brother! Good work!
Thank you very much!
_From Skunk & Eligible, this is CityTV, everywhere_
What’s neat to see is when the mom runs along down a trail with her babies nestled up with all of them in contact with her. It’s like a gang of stinkers. I guess the only thing I can assume is that the babies have evolved a behavior that allows them to rely on mom’s scent gland protection.
Yes i did see you guys on citynews this past may you guys do amazing work and you guys always show care to the animals 3 weeks ago i was with my friend we were both in the car eating and we saw one of your vans i told my friend who you guys are and we both wanted to get out and say hi but ones we finished eating to come out and say hi you guys left. hopefully next time if we run into you guys we will say hello. Keep up the amazing work you guys do.
Baby skunk is so adorable, can I have one as a pet at home? Is that legal?
Heard some noise in my back yard...went out with a flashlight and saw a very well fed skunk in the yard. We looked at each other for a few seconds...I went back in the house and the skunk scurried back under the fence to the neighbor's yard. Next morning I blocked the holes with some cement blocks and haven't seen it again.
Lets Hope The Skunks Don't Bloke A Bit Off So Humans Don't Get In & Hopfully Won't See Human Again 😁
Why? don't you tolerate other Earthlings? you should because this is their planet too
oh wow
Interesting that the procedure to move raccoons to a new den site is the same. How closely are skunks and racoons related? I know they are both mammals but that's all I know.
all I know is when the raccoons are in the area, I know by the smell. skunks are not fond of raccoons. opossums they do fine with. I usually have all 3 visiting the sanctuary. I live in the country. This year no skunks living in the barn under the hay, miss that.
That momma Skunk was definitely a lazy mom. She didn't want to build a new den she was just going to use the box as her den. Looked like she grabbed two babies tried to go back to original spot but couldn't get in so she decided that underneath the heat box was a perfectly good warm den. Lol . I didn't see rather she actually moved them or if you had to remove the box and have her come get them again?
I would love to have some baby skunks
It didn't look like this Mom had an alternate den site. She didn't seem to have a plan or know what to do with her babies.
😁👍👍👍💕💕💕
If only I wasn't in California I would have adopted one of those babies in a heartbeat.
Mama Skunk's looking for her lawyer so she can sue for wrongful eviction during cvirus!!!
Why let them loose in neighborhood. Will be neighbors problem then.
Since the skunks were outside the main house, it could have been a wholesome and learning experience to be able to observe them if the owners decided to just let the critters stay until they're strong enough and ready to move on. This must have been very stressful to the mom and baby skunks.
They dig massive holes on your property genius. They also spray unprovoked in their dens and you can smell that shit in your house. Just cause your a sick bastard who enjoys living with pests doesn’t mean other ppl share the same sentiment.
You have never had these things around your home have you ? Because it looks that way these things are a damn nightmare I wish they never existed idc if people think their cute . They are horrible and always spray their disgusting stench and your whole house smells just everything it’s horrible so they need to be removed !
Narrow-minded people like the commenters below only care about themselves and their own comfort. It's endemic of our selfish, self-entitled, self-centered society. Oh no, my lawn has a hole in it! Gosh, what will the neighbors think? Oh how terrible, it smells bad. Let's kill everything that doesn't mesh with our perfectly manicured yard.
YES I have had skunks around my home. YES they have dug some holes. YES they have sprayed. SO WHAT. I have felt nothing but delight at seeing these incredibly adorable creatures who co-exist on my property and in our world at large.
Why do people want them removed? I'd be honored to have them! They are adorable, native animals!! Long live Pepe Le Pew... 🐾
Because they stink ??? They spray a lot and your whole house smells horrible not to mention who knows how long they stay there . It’s a nightmare for people that do deal with these animals it’s a nightmare nothing adorable about it ! People who have not dealt with them don’t know and say what your saying yet if you did deal with it you wouldn’t say any of this .
@@Jennifer-jv3rg - oh no! wild animals "stink".... I don't care because people stink worse! I like to share our planet with my fellow Earthlings... phtt! 'stink' SMH
@@NannupTiger well if you want to deal with that in the middle of the night at 3am on you . I don’t the smell is wrong and doesn’t leave your house for days . Not to mention they come out during the day so you can’t even get out your house during the day unless you want to get sprayed I’m not even going to mention how they destroyed completely my trailer skirt just get underneath there’s holes everywhere. Seems like you have not dealt with any of it because you have you wouldn’t be all positives about wild animals around your home it isn’t a dream it can be dangerous 🙄
@@NannupTiger I’m thinking you have never actually smelled a skunk. You’re right that wild animals have a smell but a skunk has something “special” that it will spray you with when it feels threatened.
A good job.but after all this effort they just solve the problem with one home whom they pay and let a wild and dangerous animal to go to another home!!??
Wear a mask pls, I’m so nervous of this man likely being sprayed at
The free approval comprehensively remain because algebra impressively spot against a peaceful gemini. chilly, one missile
i would let them grow up at my porch
me too
a handful of hamburger with a crushed up aspirin and you can pick them up 24 hours later ,no fuss no smell,no relocating them just disposal
