Historic Home Concentration
Louisville has the third-largest collection of Victorian homes in the United States, with entire neighborhoods like Old Louisville designated as historic preservation districts. These beautiful homes often have:
- Original chimneys without caps (perfect for bats and chimney swifts)
- Decorative soffits and eaves with gaps (squirrel and bat entry points)
- Multiple renovations creating hidden access points
Urban Forest Canopy
Louisville's extensive tree canopy (one of the highest percentages among U.S. cities) creates ideal conditions for tree-dwelling wildlife:
- Mature oaks and maples provide natural highways to rooflines
- Cherokee and Seneca Parks create wildlife corridors into neighborhoods
- Tree preservation ordinances limit trimming options
Ohio River Influence
Louisville's position on the Ohio River creates unique wildlife patterns:
- Migratory bird routes bring seasonal populations
- River bottoms provide habitat for raccoons and opossums
- Waterfront development displaces wildlife into neighborhoods
Restaurant & Entertainment Districts
Louisville's vibrant food scene creates abundant food sources for urban wildlife:
- Bardstown Road corridor attracts raccoons and rats
- Downtown dumpsters support large pigeon populations
- NuLu and Butchertown see increased wildlife activity
What Louisville Residents Say
"Had a family of raccoons in our attic in Crescent Hill. Wildlife Ridders came out same day, removed them humanely, and sealed every possible entry point. Haven't had a problem since. Highly recommend!"
— Michael T., Crescent Hill
"Our 1890s Victorian in Old Louisville had bats in the attic. Wildlife Ridders did an amazing job removing them and sealing the entry points without damaging any of the historic woodwork. True professionals."
— Jennifer L., Old Louisville
"Squirrels were getting into our St. Matthews home through a gap in the soffit. Wildlife Ridders not only removed them but also repaired the damage and guaranteed their work for life. Worth every penny."
— David R., St. Matthews
