Serving Clark County's Riverfront Community
Clarksville's mix of heavy commercial development and residential neighborhoods creates a unique wildlife dynamic. The town sits right on the Ohio River and is home to major retail centers, creating high squirrel populations that impact both businesses and homes.
Clarksville's massive retail presence—including River Falls Mall, Greentree Mall area, and countless restaurants along Veterans Parkway—creates an unusual situation. These commercial areas have extremely high squirrel populations due to easy food access (dumpsters, outdoor dining, landscaping). Squirrels from these areas regularly move into adjacent residential neighborhoods. Homes within a half-mile of major retail areas report 50% more squirrel issues than homes farther away.

A restaurant owner near Veterans Parkway called us about squirrels in their attic space above the dining room. The squirrels were entering through gaps around the HVAC unit on the flat roof and had created a nest in the insulation.
The challenge was that the building was part of a strip mall with shared attic space. We coordinated with the property management company to inspect all connected units, found squirrels in three different spaces, and sealed all entry points across the entire building.
"They understood commercial buildings and worked with our property manager to solve the problem for the whole strip. Very professional." - Clarksville Restaurant Owner
