Wildlife Removal for Plainview Residents and Businesses
Plainview is one of Jeffersontown's most diverse areas — a mix of established residential neighborhoods, corporate offices, business parks, and community amenities like the Plainview Swim & Tennis Center. This variety of land uses, combined with the mature trees and established landscaping that characterize the area, creates a range of wildlife challenges that affect both homeowners and businesses.
Raccoons are the most common wildlife problem in Plainview. The combination of residential neighborhoods with trash cans and pet food, commercial areas with dumpsters and food waste, and the green spaces and drainage corridors that connect them creates ideal conditions for raccoon populations to thrive. Raccoons in Plainview are well-fed and bold — they've learned that suburban environments provide reliable food sources, and they're not shy about exploiting them.
Squirrels are the second most common issue, particularly in the residential portions of Plainview. The mature trees throughout the neighborhood give squirrels easy access to rooftops, and the variety of housing styles — from older ranch homes to newer construction — means there's a wide range of potential entry points. Squirrels are persistent and creative when it comes to finding ways into attics, and they can cause significant damage to wiring, insulation, and structural elements once they're inside.
Groundhogs are a particular concern in Plainview because of the mix of residential and commercial properties. Groundhogs dig burrows near foundations, under decks, and along fence lines — and in commercial settings, their burrows can undermine parking lot edges, landscaped berms, and utility areas. We've addressed groundhog problems at both residential properties and corporate campuses in the Plainview area, and we understand the different requirements of each setting.
Common Wildlife Problems in Plainview
Plainview's mix of residential and commercial areas creates a diverse set of wildlife challenges that require property-specific solutions.
Raccoons
Raccoons are common in suburban areas with green spaces and commercial corridors. They're attracted to trash, pet food, and the food waste generated by nearby businesses — and they're smart enough to remember reliable food sources and return to them regularly.

One of the things that makes Plainview unique is the close proximity of residential neighborhoods and commercial/corporate properties. This means that wildlife problems in one area can quickly affect the other. A raccoon that's been feeding at a restaurant dumpster on Hurstbourne Parkway may be the same raccoon that's raiding trash cans in the residential streets nearby. A groundhog that's denning in a corporate campus green space may be the same one that's digging up a homeowner's garden a block away.
We serve both residential and commercial clients in Plainview, and we understand the different requirements of each. Residential clients want their homes protected and their families safe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you serve commercial properties in Plainview?
Yes. We work with corporate campuses, office parks, and commercial properties throughout Plainview. We understand the operational requirements of commercial clients and can schedule work to minimize disruption.
How do I keep raccoons out of my trash?
The most effective approach is a combination of securing your trash containers (bungee cords or locking lids) and removing other attractants like pet food and bird feeders. If raccoons are already a persistent problem, we can help with trapping and exclusion.
Can groundhog burrows damage my foundation?
Yes, especially if the burrow is close to your foundation or under a concrete slab. Groundhog burrows can extend several feet underground and can undermine structural elements over time. We recommend addressing groundhog problems promptly.
