Serving Clark County's Fastest Growing Town
Sellersburg has experienced explosive growth over the past 20 years, transforming from a small town to a bustling suburb. This rapid development has created unique squirrel control challenges as new subdivisions push into previously wooded areas, and wildlife adapts to the changing landscape.
Sellersburg's new subdivisions are literally carved out of forests. Homes on the edge of developments—backing to wooded areas or farmland—face constant wildlife pressure. We've tracked this pattern for years: homes within 100 feet of undeveloped land have 3-4 times more squirrel issues than homes in the center of subdivisions. The squirrels aren't going away—they're adapting. We see the same families of squirrels year after year, learning which homes are easiest to access.
Sellersburg's newest developments face unique challenges:
Sellersburg's older subdivisions have different issues:
Sellersburg still has many properties with significant acreage:
The area near I-65 has seen significant commercial and residential growth:
A homeowner in a 2018-built subdivision called us, frustrated that their brand-new home already had squirrels. Their house backed to a wooded area, and squirrels had chewed through a plastic roof vent within the first year.
We removed the squirrels, replaced the plastic vent with a heavy-duty metal one, and installed steel mesh over all other vulnerable areas. We also trimmed back tree branches that were providing easy roof access.
"I couldn't believe a new house could have this problem. They explained that being on the edge of the woods means constant pressure. The metal vents and mesh should last the life of the house." - Sellersburg Homeowner
