Kentucky is known for its thoroughbred horse racing. For a state to be so well-known for large grazing animals, it stands to reason that the terrain is fairly flat and hilly with lush grass and a fair amount of forest. The state is covered by bluegrass, a thick form of vegetation that does well in the fertile soil. This state has the country’s longest connecting system of waterways.
When people think of elk, they don’t usually think of Kentucky, but the state has one of the largest wild elk herds in the country. At one time, bison roamed much of the region. Like most of the United States, bison eventually vanished, and now only a few privately owned herds are left in Kentucky. Other animals that were once native and have now been extirpated include cougars, gray wolves, and red wolves. As far as the state is concerned, there is no breeding population of these animals in Kentucky.
This region has plentiful white-tailed deer populations just as it does elk herds. The unique grasslands provide the grazers with more than enough food to keep them comfortable through all the seasons.
Just because it’s known for horses doesn’t mean Kentucky has escaped the ravages of nuisance animals. There are plenty of common critters that make life as a homeowner difficult and frustrating. Kentucky has the most common home invader in the country: the house mouse. It also has rats, raccoons, opossums, woodchucks, prairie dogs, porcupines, otters, beavers, and snakes.
Kentucky has been one of the states to see a recent spread of the nine-banded armadillo into the region. These burrowing creatures can cause significant damage in a yard just overnight. Trapping and removal is relatively easy, but the only way to keep them out is with diligent yard care and a fence.
Though not really a strict carnivore, the state also has the large black bear as a top-of-the-food-chain predator. These creatures are relatively reclusive, though they can become bold if a dependency on trash starts to develop. Coyotes are also common in Kentucky, but the mischievous canines are not huge nuisance animals because of the short, milder winters seen in the state. Farmers have taken to introducing llamas into herds of sheep and goats to help ward off a coyote that may be eyeing livestock.

Kentucky Wildlife Invading Homes: A Growing Concern

Kentucky's landscape and climate make it an ideal habitat for a wide variety of wildlife. Unfortunately, this can also lead to problems for homeowners as animals seek shelter and food in residential areas.

As the human population continues to expand, encounters with wildlife are becoming increasingly common across the United States. One of the most frustrating and sometimes dangerous issues for homeowners is when animals find their way inside.

One of the most common culprits is the raccoon. These intelligent and adaptable creatures are skilled at finding ways into homes through small openings in roofs, chimneys, or vents. Once inside, they can cause damage to insulation, wiring, and furniture.

The specific types of wildlife that may invade homes vary depending on the region, but some common culprits in Kentucky include:
  • Opossums: These nocturnal marsupials can squeeze through surprisingly small holes.
  • Squirrels: Both ground squirrels and tree squirrels can cause damage to homes and gardens.
  • Bats: Bats may enter through small gaps in the roof or walls, potentially carrying diseases.
  • Rodents: Rats and mice can squeeze through tiny openings and contaminate food.

To prevent wildlife from entering your home, consider the following:
  • Seal up entry points: Inspect your home for any gaps or cracks in the exterior and seal them with caulk or metal flashing.
  • Install screens: Use screens on windows and vents to deter flying animals.
  • Remove attractants: Keep garbage, pet food, and bird feeders away from your home to avoid attracting wildlife.

If you have a wildlife infestation, it's important to contact a professional wildlife removal service. They have the experience and equipment to safely and humanely remove animals from your home and prevent future infestations.
By taking these steps, you can help protect your home and property from wildlife damage while also ensuring the safety of both humans and animals
