Our Story
Serving Sumner County Since 2007
Gallatin Skunk Removal was founded in 2007 by Ryan Hall, a Gallatin native who saw a real need for professional, humane wildlife removal in Sumner County. What started as a one-man operation has grown into the longest-running wildlife removal company in Gallatin, Hendersonville, and Sumner County.
Nearly two decades later, Ryan still leads every job personally. When you call Gallatin Skunk Removal, you're getting the most experienced wildlife professional in the county — not a subcontractor, not a franchise technician.
