Snake Removal in Raleigh, NC
Safe snake removal and relocation, plus habitat and exclusion work for Raleigh properties.
Professional Snake Removal in the Triangle
Most snakes found around Raleigh homes are non venomous species such as black rat snakes, black racers, and garter snakes, and they are usually following a rodent food source. The copperhead is the venomous species Triangle homeowners encounter most often, particularly around mulch beds, wood piles, and stone walls.
We remove and relocate snakes safely, then look at why the property was attractive in the first place. In many cases the honest answer is that a rodent population is feeding them, and solving that solves the snake problem too.
For crawl spaces, garages, and basements, we seal the low openings that let snakes in and advise on landscaping changes that reduce cover near the foundation.

Snake Removal FAQs
How do I know if it is a copperhead?
Copperheads have hourglass shaped crossbands and a triangular head. Do not approach to check. Keep people and pets away and call us.
Should I kill a snake I find?
No. Most snakes around Raleigh homes are harmless and useful rodent predators, and attempting to kill one is how most bites happen.
How did it get into the crawl space?
Usually a damaged vent screen, an unsealed door, or a gap at a pipe penetration. Those are the same openings we seal for rodent work.
Do you offer prevention?
Yes. Exclusion plus habitat changes plus rodent control is the prevention program that actually works.
