How to Stay Safe While Waiting for Snake Removal Services

In this article, we will focus on our snake removal services, explaining how to stay safe while you wait for our team to capture the snake and remove it from your property. Not all snakes are venomous, of course, but it’s best to proceed with caution anyway, as even non-venomous snakes may bite in self-defense.

  • Stay Away from the Snake – While you’re waiting for our snake removal experts to arrive, it’s in your best interest to stay away from the snake. Ideally, shut all the doors to the room the snake is in, and have everyone in your household, including pets, stay out until the snake has been successfully removed. Staying away from the snake is the best way to avoid provoking it.
  • Identify the Species – If you can get a good look at the snake without putting yourself at risk, try to determine what species it is. Look up a guide to snakes in your area and compare photos of those snakes to the one in front of you. Identifying the species will let you know if the snake is venomous, which will help you stay safe and will help our team figure out the best way to proceed.
  • Invest in Wildlife Prevention Measures – After our snake removal team has successfully captured the snake in your home, we can provide advice on how to prevent more snakes from getting in. For example, we encourage you to have your home inspected for gaps in the exterior, then sealing off any entry points.
