Common Wildlife Problems in St. Matthews
St. Matthews' mature neighborhoods and commercial corridors create ideal conditions for various wildlife species.
Raccoon Removal
Very common in St. Matthews' established neighborhoods with mature trees. Raccoons frequently access attics through roof vents and damaged soffits in homes built in the 1950s-1970s.
Common in:
Cherrywood Village, Brownsboro Village, Druid Hills
Squirrel Control
Abundant throughout St. Matthews due to extensive tree canopy. Squirrels are particularly active in fall and spring, seeking attic spaces for nesting.
Common in:
Bellewood, Warwick Village, St. Matthews Manor
Bat Removal
Found in older homes with original chimneys and attic spaces. St. Matthews' mix of mid-century and older homes provides ideal bat roosting sites.
Common in:
Fairmeade, Maryhill Estates, older sections near Westport Road

St. Matthews' Unique Wildlife Challenges
Mid-Century Home Construction
Many St. Matthews homes were built in the 1950s-1970s boom, creating specific vulnerabilities:
- Original aluminum soffit and fascia showing age-related gaps
- Roof vents from the 1960s-70s that wildlife can easily manipulate
- Brick and wood siding combinations with hidden entry points
- Crawlspace construction common in ranch-style homes
Mature Tree Canopy
St. Matthews is known for its beautiful, tree-lined streets, which create wildlife highways:
- 60+ year old oaks and maples with branches overhanging roofs
- Squirrels can jump 8-10 feet from tree to roof
- Tree preservation ordinances limit trimming options
- Dense canopy provides cover for raccoon movement
Commercial Corridor Impact
Shelbyville Road's commercial development affects nearby residential areas:
- Restaurant dumpsters attract raccoons that spread to homes
- Mall St. Matthews area supports large bird populations
- Commercial lighting attracts insects, which attract bats
Established Neighborhood Density
St. Matthews' well-established neighborhoods create unique patterns:
- Wildlife moves easily between closely-spaced homes
- Shared property lines mean coordinated exclusion is important
- Neighborhood raccoon families span multiple properties
What St. Matthews Residents Say
"We had squirrels in our attic in Cherrywood Village for weeks. Wildlife Ridders came out the same day we called, removed them humanely, and sealed up all the entry points. They even repaired the damage. Excellent service!"
— Karen S., Cherrywood Village
"Our 1960s ranch in Bellewood had raccoons getting in through a gap in the soffit. Wildlife Ridders not only removed them but also showed us other vulnerable spots and sealed everything up. Haven't had a problem since!"
— Robert M., Bellewood
St. Matthews Wildlife Removal FAQs
Why are raccoons so common in St. Matthews?
St. Matthews offers raccoons everything they need: mature trees for denning, easy access to food from nearby commercial areas, and older homes with entry points. The neighborhood's established nature and tree canopy create ideal urban raccoon habitat.
Do you specialize in mid-century homes?
Yes! Many St. Matthews homes were built in the 1950s-1970s, and we're very familiar with their construction methods and common wildlife entry points. We know how to work with aluminum soffits, original roof vents, and the crawlspace construction typical of that era.
How quickly can you respond in St. Matthews?
We offer same-day service throughout St. Matthews. Our location in the Louisville metro allows us to reach any St. Matthews neighborhood within 1-2 hours for emergencies. We know the area well and can navigate quickly.
Will trimming my trees help prevent wildlife problems?
Yes, keeping tree branches at least 8-10 feet from your roofline significantly reduces squirrel and raccoon access. However, we understand St. Matthews' tree preservation ordinances. We can advise on safe trimming practices and provide exclusion solutions that work with your existing landscape.
