The “Skunkanator” was called out to the Culver City area of Los Angeles for a skunk Removal. The skunks were getting in under the house and tearing up the insulation and stinking the house up really bad. The home owners daughter was sent home from school because she smelt like skunk. I set up five traps and the next day the traps were full of skunks. Five in total in one day. This is why they call me the “Skunkanator!” I specialize in skunk removal from under homes, sheds, and inside homes. I was also featured on the show “Dirty Jobs” on the discovery channel for removing skunks. Some would say I am immune to the smell, but I tell them…”to me, it’s the smell of money!” I tell people if you can’t see me coming, you can smell me coming! LOL! People ask me all the time “how do you get rid of the smell?” I use a product called “Skunk Off.” It works great! It was chemically made in a lab to eliminate the odor, not just cover it up! It is totally safe for humans, dogs, and anything else you need it for. I use it all the time! So if you have a skunk issue, you know who to call! I service most of Southern California from Los Angeles to Bakersfield.

Today I had a client call me out in the Altadena area of Los Angeles because her home  had a heavy skunk odor. She owns her own trap so she decided to try to trap the skunk on her own and ended up trapping a raccoon. She wanted me to come out and remove the raccoon. I also told her I would inspect around her home for her at no charge. When I arrived I removed the raccoon out of her trap and put the raccoon in one of my traps. I then did an inspection from the outside and she wanted me to come in and smell the skunk odor in the home. In the outside inspection I seen a few flies coming out around the vent area. I also went in the home to smell the skunk odor. I told her that it obviously smelled heavily of skunk, but different. In my experience the odor was a heavy skunk odor, but I was smelling was what I thought was a dead skunk. She told me to go under and do an inspection. Sure enough, I went under and found a dead skunk about twelve feet in. It was a little old and flat. The skunk had maggots, flies, and fleas all over it. It had been there for about a 6 weeks. She said she had been shelling it for a while, but just started trying to trap in. Anyways, she was glad to resolve the problem and get the dead skunk removed.

WILL BE ON DIRTY JOBS oN 4/24 AT 6 & 9  

On Janurary 5, 2010 Jeremy from Animal Capture Wildlife Control appeared on Dirty Jobs on the Discovery channel.  Animal  Capture Wildlife Control was on there to do skunk removal, raccoon removal, opossum removal, and dead animal removal.  The first home on the show we removed a dead skunk from under the home.  The smell was intense and the skunk was covered in maggots.  Then we also trapped a skunk that was removed from the under floor.  It sprayed us many times.  The homes under floor was sealed up and the skunk was released.  The next place we did was an apartment building in West Hollywood.  This place was crawling with animals.  We removed a skunk, raccoon, opossum, and many dead animal carcasses.  We went under the building to do an inspection to see where the animals were going in and out, see if any damage was done, and see if we found any more animals.  We sealed up the building and released the animals.  It was a great expierence working with Mike Rowe.  I get many questions about Mike Rowe, but the number one question “is Mike a nice guy and the same as he is on tv?”  The answer is yes.  He is such a nice guy and down to earth. He is very whitty and always having a good time.  Him and his crew are a great bunch of guys.  They are always pulling pranks on eachother.  If you would like to see Animal Capture Wildlife Control on Dirty Jobs click link http://dsc.discovery.com/videos/dirty-jobs-animal-control/

Transcript Larry King Live Oct 09 2009 with Howie Mandell & Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs

MANDEL: OK. Joining us to talk about his dirty job is Jeremy Bailey. He’s the owner of Animal Capture Wildlife Control. He’s spent the last 13 years trapping skunks, raccoons, possums, snakes, bats and a coyote.

A coyote?

JEREMY BAILEY, SPRAYED BY SKUNKS ON JOB: It’s always different, you know. I get, you know, selective j

MANDEL: Are you here in California?

BAILEY: Yes, I’m here in L.A.

MANDEL: I have three coyote in my yard like a night.

BAILEY: Yes, you must be in L.A. in like the hills or something.

MANDEL: Right. But you got one.

BAILEY: Oh, I got many.

MANDEL: Well, let’s see Mike at work with animal control.

Watch this.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This skunk is right around the corner.

ROWE: You mean that black creature there with the white stripes on its back?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes. So you’re going to approach, at any angle. You’re going to get sprayed.

ROWE: Oh, jeez. Ah, you dirty…

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You might as well just go now. He’s already sprayed.

ROWE: You’re right. That’s — ah, you smelly skunk. Oh, you stink. Oh, you — ah.

(LAUGHTER)

(COUGHING)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Oh, come on. It’s not that bad.

ROWE: Oh, come on. You don’t smell anything ever anymore. You’re…

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I’m immune to it. It smells like money to me.

ROWE: Yes?

Well, somebody left their money in their ass.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

MANDEL: I love that. I love that. Somebody left their money in their ass. Did you get sprayed there?

BAILEY: Yes, may a time.

MANDEL: Yes, many times. It’s no big deal to you?

BAILEY: It happens every day to me.

MANDEL: What is the best remedy for getting rid of that odor? Or maybe I’m sitting far enough from you, maybe you have it.

BAILEY: I got sprayed last night. So if I smelled that bad you would smell it right away. I use a product called Skunk Off.

MANDEL: Skunk Off.

ROWE: What else would you use.

MANDEL: You always hear about people with tomato juice and trying different things.

BAILEY: That stuff doesn’t work.

MANDEL: Where does one get Skunk Off?

BAILEY: A lab makes it. It’s sold over the Internet everywhere.

ROWE: Skunk emporium, I believe. Down the road a piece.

MANDEL: Did you get sprayed in that?

ROWE: Yes. I got sprayed twice there.

MANDEL: Does he share the Skunk Off with you?

ROWE: No, he’s very proprietary with the Skunk Off.

MANDEL: You have to go to the website too and get the Skunk Off. In that episode, was it just the skunks you were going after?

ROWE: No. Possums.

BAILEY: We got skunks, raccoons, possums, all that. We go underneath homes, do under-floor inspections.

MANDEL: Under-floor inspections?

BAILEY: Yes, crawl underneath the houses on your belly. We had to remove a dead skunk as well at the first house, with maggots all over it, flies, fleas jumping on you.

MANDEL: You say it with such joy.

BAILEY: It’s just a normal day. MANDEL: Do you ever say, ewe?

BAILEY: Not really. To me, I’m used to all the smells, dead animal smells, skunk smell. To me, it doesn’t bother me.

MANDEL: It doesn’t bother you. You’re used to smells. I noticed in the green room, you have a beautiful young lady. Is that your wife?

BAILEY: Yes.

MANDEL: Does she put on perfume for you when you get home?

BAILEY: She’s used to it as well. It’s hard to believe, but really you get used to the skunk smell. It doesn’t bother her. She tells me take your clothes off in the garage. Don’t bring it inside. But still, with me coming inside, it smells the house up.

MANDEL: Any given day after work, your neighbors might see you standing naked in the garage?

BAILEY: Not naked, but in my boxers.

ROWE: More than I need to know.

MANDEL: What’s the weirdest or most dangerous thing you’ve ever encountered?

BAILEY: I think not really most dangerous thing. It’s more situational things. I do a lot of work, you know, like situations where raccoons get in walls and you have to get them out. Skunks die underneath houses. You know, I get possums that die underneath the flooring. I have to cut them out of the flooring sometimes.

MANDEL: Have you ever been bitten?

BAILEY: Never, in 13 years.

MANDEL: Never been bitten.

BAILEY: No.

MANDEL: Wow. Somebody said you went after a bobcat.

BAILEY: I got a bobcat out of a chicken coop. But I was able to flush it into the trap without getting bit or anything.

MANDEL: How does one train for this? How did you get into this business?

BAILEY: My dad taught me everything I know.

MANDEL: It’s a family business.

BAILEY: Yes, he owns a business up north. I worked for him for 10 years and moved out here to L.A. and opened my own business. MANDEL: Yes. Is there work in this business. If there are people out there that are interested in stinking each and every day or going after or climbing under houses, is there work for that?

BAILEY: Oh yes. I’m working every single day, catching animals every single day.

MANDEL: People are looking for work. I think that’s fascinating.

BAILEY: Just yesterday, I got about four skunks, like about six raccoons and a couple possums. You know, every day.

MANDEL: Are these the lines you used to meet your wife when you first approached her?

BAILEY: No, no.

MANDEL: Is this lucrative? What kind of money? What would it cost to remove skunk from my abode?

BAILEY: I get 100 dollars for every animal I catch.

ROWE: Tell them the crazy parts. Tell them what you have to do when you catch the thing. You’re not going to believe this.

MANDEL: A hundred dollars an animal. Where do they go? Where do you take them?

BAILEY: I relocate them a lot of times. I don’t kill any animals.

ROWE: We released — once we caught, we had to release them on the same property. Some counties have ordinances.

BAILEY: Some counties are laws where you’re not able to relocate animals, or you have to relocate them on the same property.

MANDEL: I give you 100 dollars, you pick up my skunk; where do you take him?

BAILEY: Always different. Open areas.

MANDEL: You don’t want to take two skunks to the same place.

BAILEY: You don’t want to overcrowd one area.

ROWE: It’s a skunk relocation program.

(CROSS TALK)

MANDEL: He’s taking the skunk, moving it to another house, giving out his website, getting another 100 dollars and relocating it to another house. That’s the business. I can’t think of anything more awful than milking a camel. I don’t know why that popped into my head. Did you know they can spit on you? Did you know that? ROWE: I did.

MANDEL: That’s why you’re going to see Mike do the dirty work next.
