HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Residents in one Hendersonville neighborhood have a smelly problem on their hands.

People living in Lawson Pointe say there are skunks everywhere and they don't know what to do about it.

It's getting so bad in the neighborhood, people there have started posting alerts to their neighborhood Facebook page whenever there's a skunk sighting.

One resident said it's sometimes multiple times a day.

Neighbors aren't just worried about the smell; they told News 2 some of the skunks have been threatening their pets.

Others have posted on the Facebook page complaining about skunks running loose in the street.

A few people say they've already hit several.

Gary Jordan, who has lived in Lawson Pointe for five years, said no one really knows what to do or who to turn to.

He hopes the problem can get resolved before it gets worse,

"Walking around the neighborhood, you see them and smell them all the time. It's just a major problem out here," he told News 2. "It is very gross."

News 2 has reached out to Hendersonville city officials to ask them if they've heard anything about this problem.

One councilmember said this is the first they've heard of it.
