Louisville Turtle Removal
Louisville Turtle Removal and Control
Turtles are generally not considered nuisance wildlife in Louisville, Kentucky, as they are relatively slow-moving, non-aggressive, and tend to keep to themselves.
Turtles may dig in gardens or lawns to lay their eggs, which can cause damage to plants and landscaping. Additionally, if a turtle finds its way into a swimming pool or pond, it can clog filtration systems and create maintenance issues.
If you're having a turtle problem, call Louisville Critter Ridder for some turtle removal advice and assistance.

Most turtle calls in Louisville involve snapping turtles - either a large snapper that's taken up residence in a backyard pond, or one crossing a yard in early summer looking for a nest site. Common snapping turtles in Kentucky can exceed 30 pounds with a bite to match, and they'll eat ornamental fish and ducklings from private ponds. June is peak nesting season, when females travel surprisingly far from water. We relocate snappers and other turtles safely, and box turtles - a species of conservation concern in Kentucky - are always relocated unharmed nearby, as moving them far from their home range can be fatal to them.
