Trapping wildlife and blocking its way back in are both part of Bunk's Skunk and Varmint Removal's work. The Chilmark business says it provides skunk and wildlife removal, trapping and exclusion barriers on Martha's Vineyard, and describes itself as owner-operated by Rodney Bunker. In an October 2024 Google review, a homeowner described eight skunks digging holes and feeding on grubs in their yard the previous summer. They said Rodney trapped and removed the skunks, offered prevention recommendations and installed a grate around their shed to keep skunks from living underneath it. The customer also described his price as reasonable. A March 2025 reviewer described extensive work sealing entrances with wire and praised Rodney's communication. They felt confident the animals would be kept out. An October 2024 customer dealing with persistent rodents praised his thorough approach, speed and effectiveness. In a September 2024 review, another customer said he responded quickly, provided an estimate, arrived on time and solved their issue, including preventive measures. Google lists a 4.2-star average from five ratings, with written reviews dated 2024–2025. An August 2024 customer gave one star and called him the rudest person they had encountered on the island. That complaint concerns his manner; the other dated accounts describe wildlife work and, in several cases, praise how he dealt with the customer.

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!
