Bunk's Skunk and Varmint Removal is an owner-operated wildlife business based in Chilmark, run by Rodney Bunker. The company says it handles skunks and other wildlife through live trapping, exclusion barriers, deceased-animal removal, and mole and vole control on Martha's Vineyard. The written customer history is small but specific. In reviews from September 2024 through March 2025, homeowners described sealing entry points with wire, trapping eight skunks, installing a grate around a shed, and setting up preventative measures. They repeatedly mentioned clear communication, prompt estimates, arriving on time, thorough work, and practical prevention advice. One August 2024 Google review said only that the reviewer found him rude. Ask about the scope of exclusion work and the estimate before booking, especially if the job involves repairs after trapping. For a homeowner dealing with skunks, rodents, or similar wildlife on Martha's Vineyard, the service mix fits; confirm the exact animals, access points, and prevention plan during the inspection.

Rodney was communicative, a pleasure to deal with, and considering the complexity of our problem, which involved extensive sealing up of entrances with wire, we feel confident that the critters will be kept out. Rodney is the best on the island today! Thank you, Rodney! Mary Bailey & Chris Allen.
We are very happy customers. This year, we seemed to be inundated with all different kinds of persistent rodents for the first time in decades. Rodney’s work approach is forthright, transparent, well informed, creative and very thorough. He keeps his promises, achieves what he anticipates, works quickly, and he is also very effective. He also has a very considerate approach working with customers. We strongly recommend this company.
We had 8 skunks that dug holes and feasted on grubs in our yard last summer. Rodney did a great job trapping and removing the skunks and gave us recommendations on how to prevent them. He also put a grate around our shed to keep them from living under there. He was professional, honest, courteous and kind as well as reasonably priced. I highly recommend him to help you with any wildlife issue that is affecting your property!
Bunk’s Skunk was awesome! Rodney was quick to respond and give an estimate, showed up on time for our appointment, and solved the issue including setting up the preventative maintenance to elevate future problems. I appreciate the great service and would recommend him highly!! Thanks Rodney!
Rudest person I’ve ever encountered on the island
