Serving Clark County's Largest City
Jeffersonville's mix of historic downtown, mid-century neighborhoods, and modern development creates a unique patchwork of squirrel control challenges. As Clark County's largest city, Jeff has everything from 1800s riverfront homes to brand-new subdivisions—and squirrels have adapted to all of them.
Since the Big Four Bridge opened as a pedestrian walkway in 2013, we've seen increased squirrel activity in downtown Jeffersonville. The bridge acts as a literal highway for squirrels moving between Louisville's Waterfront Park and Jeff's riverfront. Properties within three blocks of the bridge report 40% more squirrel issues than areas farther inland. The squirrels are also bolder—they're used to crowds and food from tourists.
Downtown Jeffersonville features a mix of commercial and residential properties (1850s-1920s):
The riverfront area presents unique challenges:
Jeffersonville's post-war suburban development features predictable problems:
The eastern part of Jeff has seen significant growth since the 1990s:

A downtown business owner called us about squirrels in their mixed-use building (retail below, apartments above). The squirrels were entering through gaps in the parapet wall on the flat roof and had created nests in the attic space above the store.
The challenge was that the building shared walls with two adjacent properties, and squirrels could potentially move between all three. We coordinated with the neighboring property owners, sealed all entry points across all three buildings, and installed one-way doors to let the squirrels out.
"They understood that downtown buildings are all connected. The comprehensive approach worked perfectly." - Downtown Jeffersonville Business Owner
