Skunk Removal in Anchorage, KY
One of Kentucky's most wooded incorporated cities — Anchorage's protected tree canopy and estate lots keep skunks close, and its barns and guest structures give them places to den.
Call (502) 200-8812 — Free QuoteAnchorage is unlike anywhere else in Jefferson County: a small incorporated city where a protected tree canopy, no-sidewalk lanes, and multi-acre estate lots preserve a genuinely rural character inside the metro. That same character supports resident wildlife — and on Anchorage properties, skunk dens turn up less often under the main house than beneath the secondary structures scattered across the grounds: horse barns, guest cottages, pool houses, and garden outbuildings.
Equestrian properties add a specific wrinkle we handle regularly here: feed rooms and spilled grain are a powerful nightly draw, and a skunk that sprays inside a barn aisle creates an odor problem measured in weeks. Our Anchorage work is typically property-wide — locating every active den, trapping discreetly, and screening each vulnerable structure in a single coordinated project.
Local Insight: Skunks in Anchorage
On Anchorage's equestrian properties, the feed room is the magnet — skunks come nightly for spilled grain, then den under the nearest structure. Rodent-proof feed storage plus barn-perimeter screening solves both halves of the problem at once.

Skunk Removal Questions From Anchorage Homeowners
A skunk has moved in under our barn — is it a risk to the horses?
The main risks are spray odor in the barn aisle and the small but real disease exposure any wild mammal brings. Horses generally ignore skunks, but dogs that patrol the barn don't. We trap away from the aisles and paddocks, keep sets clearly flagged, and screen the barn perimeter so the den can't be re-occupied.
Can trapping be done discreetly on our property?
Yes. Trap sets are placed at the den site — not visible from the lane — and checked on a daily schedule we coordinate with you or your property manager. Most Anchorage projects are completed without anything visible from the road at any point.
Why do we see so many skunks in Anchorage compared to friends in newer suburbs?
Anchorage's tree canopy, low density, and connected green space hold permanent wildlife populations the way a park does. You can't reduce the skunks around you — but sealing every structure on the property makes them irrelevant, and that's the approach we take here.
