Skunk Removal in Mt. Washington, KY
One of Kentucky's fastest-growing cities — and every new subdivision carved out of Bullitt County farmland displaces the skunks that were already living there.
Call (502) 200-8812 — Free QuoteMt. Washington's explosive growth is the direct cause of its skunk calls. Each new phase of construction converts farm fields and fencerows — established skunk habitat — into streets and lawns, and the displaced animals don't leave; they move into the first shelter the new neighborhood offers. Fresh decks with open skirting, brand-new sheds set on grade, and freshly laid sod (which carries heavy grub loads its first few seasons) make new subdivisions here more attractive to skunks than the farmland they replaced.
The good news: new construction is the easiest housing stock in our whole region to protect. Clean framing takes uniform barrier screening quickly, and a deck sealed in a home's first year will likely never host a den. We serve all of Mt. Washington and northern Bullitt County with removal, preventive screening, and turf repair.
Local Insight: Skunks in Mt. Washington
New sod is the underrated factor in Mt. Washington — first- and second-year lawns carry unusually heavy grub loads, and fall grub-digging complaints from subdivisions under five years old outnumber every other call type we get here.

Skunk Removal Questions From Mt. Washington Homeowners
Our house is barely two years old — why do we already have a skunk under the deck?
Because your subdivision was skunk habitat before it was a subdivision. Displaced animals stay in the area and move under the first unsealed deck or shed they find. Age of the house doesn't matter — open skirting on grade does. Removal plus buried screening ends it.
Shouldn't the builder have sealed the deck against animals?
Almost no builder does — deck skirting, if installed at all, is decorative lattice that skunks walk straight through. Proper exclusion means galvanized mesh trenched into the ground with an outward flare. It's a quick add on new construction and the cheapest wildlife money you'll ever spend.
Do you charge extra to come to Bullitt County?
No. Mt. Washington, Hebron Estates, and Pioneer Village are standard service territory at the same rates as Jefferson County, and we're in the area regularly enough that scheduling is rarely more than a day out.
