Skunk Removal in Shepherdsville, KY
The Salt River bottoms and the wooded edge of Bernheim country keep Shepherdsville in constant contact with wildlife — and skunks here den under everything from crawl-space homes to manufactured-home skirting.
Call (502) 200-8812 — Free QuoteShepherdsville's geography sets its wildlife pattern: the Salt River and its wooded floodplain run straight through town, and the forested knobs toward Bernheim rise just beyond it. Skunks travel the river corridor nightly, and the town's housing mix gives them more den options than most communities we serve — older homes on vented crawl spaces, manufactured homes with perimeter skirting, and rural properties with barns and equipment sheds on grade.
Manufactured-home skirting deserves special mention because it's a call we get from Shepherdsville more than anywhere else: vinyl skirting keeps out weather, not wildlife, and the warm, enclosed space beneath the home is a five-star skunk den. We remove the animal through trapping or one-way doors, then retrofit the skirting perimeter with buried mesh so it actually excludes.
Local Insight: Skunks in Shepherdsville
Skirted manufactured homes are the signature Shepherdsville call — vinyl skirting reads as solid to a homeowner but takes a skunk one night to breach. A buried mesh retrofit around the perimeter is the permanent fix, and it protects against every burrowing animal, not just skunks.

Skunk Removal Questions From Shepherdsville Homeowners
There's a skunk under my manufactured home — can you get it out without tearing up the skirting?
Yes. We open one access panel, confirm the entry point, and use a one-way door or entrance trap so the skunk removes itself. The skirting stays intact; what changes is underneath it — buried mesh around the perimeter so nothing digs back in.
Does living near the Salt River mean we'll always have skunk problems?
It means you'll always have skunk traffic — the wooded floodplain is a permanent corridor. Whether that traffic becomes a problem depends entirely on your structures. Homes near the river that we've fully screened simply stop generating calls.
How far into rural Bullitt County will you go?
Throughout — Brooks, Zoneton, Clermont, and the rural routes off Highway 44 and Preston Highway are all covered. For far-southern addresses just mention your location when you call and we'll give you an honest arrival window.
