Serving Jefferson, Bullitt, Oldham, and Shelby Counties — Louisville neighborhoods, growing suburbs, and farm country.
St. Matthews, KY
Jefferson County
St. Matthews sits along the Middle Fork of Beargrass Creek, and that's exactly why groundhogs love it here. The creek corridor gives woodchucks a natural travel route straight into established neighborhoods like Brownsboro Village, Norbourne Estates, and the streets around Seneca Park. Once they arrive, the mature landscaping and older homes with raised foundations, detached garages, and backyard sheds offer perfect denning spots.

Jefferson County
The Highlands has one of the densest groundhog populations in urban Louisville, and Cherokee Park is the reason. The park's 400+ acres of meadow and woodland support a large resident woodchuck population, and every spring, young groundhogs disperse outward into the surrounding neighborhoods — Cherokee Triangle, Deer Park, Tyler Park, and the Original Highlands.
Groundhog removal in The HighlandsMiddletown, KY
Jefferson County
Middletown sits on the transition line between suburban Louisville and open farmland, which makes it a groundhog hotspot. As development pushes east along Shelbyville Road toward the Gene Snyder, woodchucks displaced from former pasture are relocating into subdivision yards in Douglass Hills, Plainview, and the newer neighborhoods off North English Station Road.
Groundhog removal in MiddletownJeffersontown, KY
Jefferson County
Jeffersontown is unusual among our service areas because we handle a nearly even split of residential and commercial groundhog work here. The Bluegrass Commerce Park — one of the largest business parks in Kentucky — has extensive mowed grounds, retention ponds, and building perimeters that support a substantial woodchuck population. Burrows under loading docks, sidewalks, and HVAC pads are a recurring maintenance issue for J-Town facility managers.
Groundhog removal in JeffersontownProspect, KY
Jefferson & Oldham Counties
Prospect's combination of riverfront terrain, wooded ravines, and large landscaped estates creates ideal groundhog habitat. Harrods Creek and the Ohio River floodplain give woodchucks soft, diggable soil and abundant cover, and the ravines that cut through neighborhoods like Hunting Creek and Sutherland let them move between properties unseen.
Groundhog removal in ProspectOkolona & Fern Creek, KY
Jefferson County
South Louisville's Okolona and Fern Creek communities see steady groundhog pressure from two directions: the Floyds Fork corridor and The Parklands to the east, and the remaining agricultural parcels scattered along Preston Highway and Bardstown Road to the south. Woodchucks denning in those greenways forage into adjacent neighborhoods, and the area's long-established vegetable gardening tradition gives them plenty of reason to stay.

Bullitt County
Shepherdsville and the Salt River valley are classic groundhog country. The river's floodplain soils are deep and easy to dig, the mix of pasture, woodlot, and residential development provides everything woodchucks need, and Bullitt County's rapid growth means new subdivisions are being built directly on top of long-established groundhog territory.
Groundhog removal in ShepherdsvilleMount Washington, KY
Bullitt County
Mount Washington is one of the fastest-growing cities in Kentucky, and that growth is the direct cause of most groundhog calls we receive here. Subdivisions along Highway 44 East and Bardstown Road are replacing pasture and cropland that supported generations of woodchucks — and displaced groundhogs don't leave, they simply relocate to the nearest cover, which is usually a brand-new backyard.
Groundhog removal in Mount WashingtonLa Grange & Oldham County, KY
Oldham County
Oldham County's horse farms, hobby farms, and estate properties present groundhog challenges at a scale we rarely see inside Louisville. Woodchuck burrows in paddocks and pastures are a well-documented equine injury risk, and the county's board-fence lines — with grass cover on both sides and no foot traffic — are ideal protected burrow corridors that can run the length of a property.

Shelby County
Shelby County calls itself the American Saddlebred Capital of the World, and its rolling pasture is equally attractive to groundhogs. The county's mix of horse operations, cattle farms, and row-crop fields supports one of the healthiest woodchuck populations in our service region, and burrows along field edges, fencerows, and equipment lanes are a constant management issue for landowners.

Fully licensed for Indiana wildlife work — serving Clark and Floyd Counties across the river.
Jeffersonville, IN
Clark County
Jeffersonville's position on the Ohio River floodplain shapes its groundhog problem. The deep alluvial soils along the riverfront and through older neighborhoods near downtown are the easiest digging in our entire service region — burrow systems here tend to be longer and deeper than anywhere on the Kentucky side. The levee system, Duffy's Landing area, and the greenway corridor all support resident woodchuck populations.
Groundhog removal in JeffersonvilleNew Albany, IN
Floyd County
New Albany's geography splits its groundhog problems in two. Downhill, the historic districts near Main and Market Streets have 19th-century homes on stone foundations — like Louisville's Highlands, these develop soil-line gaps that woodchucks exploit. Uphill, the Knobs — Floyds Knobs, Georgetown, and the wooded hillsides above town — present something we see nowhere else in the region: slope burrows that contribute to erosion on already-steep terrain.
Groundhog removal in New AlbanyClarksville & Sellersburg, IN
Clark County
Clarksville packs retail corridors, established neighborhoods, and significant greenspace — including the Falls of the Ohio floodplain and Lapping Park — into a compact footprint, and groundhogs use all of it. Commercial properties along Veterans Parkway and Lewis & Clark Parkway deal with burrows in landscape islands, detention basins, and building perimeters, while the residential streets between the corridors see classic under-deck and under-shed denning.
