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. **Strengths:** - Wildlife trapping — reviews describe specific captures and removal work - Exclusion barriers — customers cite wire sealing and shed protection - Responsive scheduling — reviewers mention quick estimates and on-time arrival **Concerns:** - Customer interaction — one August 2024 reviewer called him rude ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - The business is owner-operated by Rodney Bunker and provides wildlife removal on Martha's Vineyard. _(confidence: high)_ - [Official Website](https://bunksskunkremoval.com) — “Bunk's Skunk and Varmint Removal provides skunk and wildlife removal, trapping, exclusion barriers, and related animal-control services on M…” - [Official Website](https://bunksskunkremoval.com) — “Ownership (self-reported): Owner-operated by Rodney Bunker” - Customers described entry-point sealing, trapping eight skunks, shed barriers, prevention advice, prompt estimates, and on-time service. _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTUN3b2JmUHlBRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x67f9099fe66829db!3m1!1s2@1:CIHM0ogKEICAgMCwobfPyAE%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ Rodney was communicative, a pleasure to deal with, and considering the complexity of our problem, which involved extensive sealing up of …” - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURYODUzREl3EAE!2m1!1s0x0:0x67f9099fe66829db!3m1!1s2@1:CIHM0ogKEICAgIDX853DIw%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ We are very happy customers.
