| Snake removal | $75 — inspection, ID, safe relocation |
| Monitoring & prevention | $200–$450 |
| Exclusion & sealing | Typical $600–$1,800 — complex $1,800–$3,500+ |
| Return visits | $60 each if needed |
- Full inspection of interior and exterior areas where the snake was seen or suspected
- Species identification — venomous vs. non-venomous, on-site
- Evidence assessment — shed skins, droppings, tracks
- Identification of entry points — gaps under doors, foundation cracks, vent openings
- Clear plan for removal and long-term prevention
Why this matters: Snakes rarely enter a home at random — they follow prey. The inspection tells us if you have a single visitor or a recurring access issue, and whether a rodent situation is the underlying driver.
If a snake is visible and safely accessible — we remove it. Venomous calls are the same price.
- Removed using humane tongs, hooks, or — honestly — just reaching down and grabbing the poor baby
- Identified on-site — venomous vs. non-venomous and species
- Relocated to a safe, lawful area away from human structures
- Entry point recommendations provided
Note: If the snake retreats into inaccessible areas — walls, ductwork, or deep crawlspace voids — additional monitoring or a return visit may be needed.
When snakes are reappearing or suspected to be living under structures:
- Identify and seal rodent or small-animal entry points — their food source
- Return visits for checks or removals ($60 each if needed)
This phase is most common in crawlspaces or outbuildings where food and shelter attract repeat visits. If active mice are confirmed, we'll point you toward Four Seasons Pest Control — eliminating the food source is often faster and more cost-effective than repeated snake removal.
Typical homes: $600–$1,800 | Complex foundations or crawlspaces: $1,800–$3,500+
- Sealing foundation cracks, gaps, and holes larger than ¼ inch
- Wildlife-grade vent covers and door sweeps
- Durable mesh barriers to crawlspace openings
- Photo documentation of completed work
One snake often means others follow the same scent path. Full exclusion keeps snakes out and frequently reduces rodent and insect entry at the same time.
3-year guarantee: Full exclusion packages include a guarantee on all sealed points.
Only recommended when they meaningfully prevent re-entry. If the snake came through a single gap, we'll show you exactly where and how to fix it.

Don't try to figure it out yourself — that's what we're for. Virginia's venomous snakes include the copperhead, timber rattlesnake, and cottonmouth (water moccasin). General rules of thumb — triangular head, heat-sensing pits, and elliptical pupils — can help but are unreliable in the field. If you're not certain, treat it as venomous and call us. We identify on-site and handle both the same way.
Snakes follow their nose — wherever mice are getting in, snakes will eventually follow. Recurring snake entry almost always means an active rodent situation. The most effective long-term solution is eliminating the food source first. We can identify the entry points and seal the structure; for the rodent side, we refer customers to Four Seasons Pest Control, a trusted local partner who handles rodents and insects more effectively than we can. Once the food is gone, the snakes have no reason to return.
Yes. All native snake species in Virginia are protected under state law — it is illegal to kill or harm them without cause. The correct response to a snake in or around your home is safe relocation, not extermination. Snakes are not there to bother you — they want a quick meal and a safe place to digest it. We handle removal with that in mind.
Snakes follow their nose just like an old hound dog. Pay attention to wherever a mouse or bug would come through — small cracks, pipe penetrations, gaps under doors. If a mouse can get in, a snake will eventually follow. Sealing those entry points, addressing any rodent activity, and clearing habitat like woodpiles and debris near the foundation covers most situations. For a thorough assessment of your specific home, a $75 inspection is the fastest way to know exactly what you're working with.
Yes — venomous and non-venomous calls are the same price and handled with the same calm professionalism. Copperheads, timber rattlesnakes, cottonmouths — all handled safely and relocated humanely. We do not fear the spicy noodle.
Snakes are an important part of the ecosystem — controlling rodents, insects, and other pests. They are not there to bother you. They simply want a quick meal and a safe place to digest it before going back on the hunt. Our job is to move them safely and make sure they don't find their way back.
