Skunkinator Humane Live Skunk Trap Pack of 2

The Skunkinator is a revolutionary humane skunk trap with a patented low-profile design that prevents skunks from lifting their tails — which means no spraying during capture. At just 5 inches tall, it's the only skunk trap specifically engineered to solve the biggest problem with catching skunks: getting sprayed. Catch and relocate skunks safely, without the stink. Part of the Rugged Ranch family of multi-catch traps — trusted for over 15 years with hundreds of thousands sold and stocked in farm stores and retail outlets nationwide.

How does the Skunkinator prevent skunks from spraying?

Skunks spray by lifting their tail and aiming. The Skunkinator's ultra-low 5-inch profile physically prevents skunks from raising their tails high enough to spray. Traditional cage traps are tall enough for skunks to lift, turn, and spray directly at you when you approach. With the Skunkinator, the skunk stays calm and contained, and you stay spray-free. This is the single most important feature in any skunk trap, and no other trap on the market addresses it like the Skunkinator does.

How does the Skunkinator work?

Place bait at the far end of the trap — marshmallows, cat food, or sardines work best for skunks. The skunk enters the low-profile tunnel, triggers the door mechanism, and the door closes behind it. The trap's low ceiling keeps the skunk calm and prevents tail lifting. To release, simply transport the trap to a wooded area at least 5 miles from your property, open the door, and step back.

Where should I set the Skunkinator?

Set the trap near known skunk entry points: under decks, porches, sheds, foundations, or along fence lines where skunks travel at night. Skunks are nocturnal, so set the trap in the evening and check it first thing in the morning. The Skunkinator is effective for residential yards, farms, commercial properties, and anywhere skunks are denning or foraging.
