Skunk Removal Questions From St. Matthews Homeowners
Something is tearing up my St. Matthews lawn overnight — is it skunks?
If you're seeing shallow, cone-shaped holes scattered across the turf, almost certainly. St. Matthews' well-watered lawns carry heavy grub loads, and skunks dig for them nightly in fall. We remove the skunks and recommend grub treatment so the food source disappears too.
I smell skunk in my crawl space — how do you get rid of it?
First we confirm whether a skunk is denning there or just sprayed nearby, since the fix differs. If odor has soaked into the crawl space, we treat it with commercial enzymatic neutralizers and fogging — surface cleaners won't reach it. Then we screen the vents and access points so it can't happen again.
My home backs up to Beargrass Creek — am I at higher risk?
Yes. The creek corridor functions as a wildlife highway through St. Matthews, and creek-adjacent homes see the most den attempts. For these properties we recommend preventive deck and foundation screening rather than waiting for the first den.
