Seeing a snake near your home or business can be scary—but you’re not alone. At Virginia Wildlife Removal, we specialize in safe, humane snake removal across Virginia. Whether it’s in your yard, basement, crawl space, or even your home, our trained experts will safely remove the snake and help prevent future problems.
We handle both venomous and non-venomous snakes, always using the safest and most effective methods.
Snakes are common in Virginia, especially in the warmer months from spring through early fall. They often enter yards, basements, and homes in search of food (like rodents), shelter, or water.
Snakes are attracted to:
Tall grass and overgrown landscaping
Wood piles and rock piles
Foundation cracks and gaps
Rodent infestations
Damp basements and crawl spaces
Even though most snakes in Virginia are harmless, it’s important to treat every sighting seriously. Some venomous snakes, like copperheads, are native to the area and can pose a real danger.
While many snakes in Virginia are not harmful, there are venomous species in the area—including copperheads, cottonmouths, and timber rattlesnakes. These snakes can bite if threatened, putting your family and pets at risk.
Even non-venomous snakes can be a problem:
They can frighten people and pets
They may bite if cornered
Their presence often means other pests (like rodents) are nearby
Never try to catch or kill a snake yourself—it can be dangerous and may be illegal in some cases. Leave it to the professionals.
At Virginia Wildlife Removal, we offer reliable, professional, and humane snake removal services tailored to your situation.
We start with a detailed inspection of your property to locate the snake and identify entry points, nesting areas, or signs of other pests (like rodents).
We safely remove the snake using specialized tools and protective equipment. If it’s venomous, we take extra precautions to protect your property and family.
We identify the species to help you understand if it was venomous and whether more snakes are likely to be nearby.
We locate and seal holes, cracks, or vents where snakes might enter. This step helps prevent future infestations.
We provide tips and services to make your property less attractive to snakes, such as rodent control, yard cleanup, and habitat modification.
