Explore this serviceWhy do snakes keep coming back?
Snakes come for mice, water and places to hide, not for people. Most you'll see are harmless and even helpful, but a copperhead by the back step or a snake in the garage is another matter.
The safe approach is simple: keep your distance, never try to kill or catch one, and have it removed if it's inside or might be venomous. After that, clearing cover, dealing with mice and sealing gaps keeps the next one away.
Below you'll find which snakes live where you are, what to do if someone is bitten, how to make your yard less inviting and what removal usually costs.
What kind of snake problem are you seeing?
Shed skins
A papery shed skin in the garage, crawl space or along the foundation means a snake has spent time there.
Repeat sightings
Seeing a snake in the same spot more than once suggests it's living nearby, often under a deck, step or rock pile.
Lots of mice
Snakes follow food. Droppings or chewed bags in the garage or shed can bring snakes in after them.
What should you ask before booking?
Ask what the visit includes, how much it costs, and whether a follow-up is included. It’s also helpful to know what you’ll need to do before treatment and when you can use the area again.
Have children or pets at home? Mention them when discussing treatment. For a business, let the company know your opening hours so you can talk about a convenient time to visit.
How snake activity changes through the year
- Spring: Snakes come out to bask on warm walls, walks and patios.
- Summer: Peak activity. In the heat, many move at night.
- Fall: Young snakes are born, and adults look for winter shelter. Seal gaps now.
- Winter: Snakes rest underground in cold areas; in mild areas they bask on warm days.
