• Evidence first: We identify what’s actually happening before quoting.
• Options, not pressure: You’ll see clear choices — removal only, or full prevention.
• Humane by design: All snakes are handled and relocated safely.
• No surprises: We explain what’s needed and what it costs up front — so there are no hidden fees or guesswork later.
Snake Removal, Exclusion & Prevention — How Pricing Works.
Snakes are an important part of Virginia’s natural ecosystem, keeping rodent and insect populations in balance. Still, when one ends up in a home, crawlspace, or basement, it can cause understandable concern. Most encounters are non-venomous, but determining that safely is the key. Because snakes vary by species, size, and where they appear, pricing depends on access, location, and follow-up needs rather than the animal itself. Below explains how we approach snake calls, what influences cost, and what most customers typically spend.
-
1) Single visible snake (simple retrieval)
• Inspection & removal $75
2) Snake in crawlspace or basement void
• Inspection $150
3) Ongoing snake entry / foundation gaps
• Inspection $75
• Exclusion & sealing $1,125
Estimated total: ~$1,200 (cheaper option is to contact a company like Four Seasons Pest Control to remove Mice, We have seen them do great work.)
These are examples, not quotes. Each home’s cost is based on real conditions and findings.
-
• Location of the snake (yard vs. crawlspace vs. attic)
• Accessibility and safety of removal area
• Number of potential entry points to address
• Whether food sources (rodents) are present
• Species type — venomous calls are the same price. We do not fear the spicy noodle.
• Crawlspace or foundation condition (moisture, debris, limited clearance)
-
• Inspection: $75
• Single snake removal: $75
• Monitoring / prevention: $200–$450
• Exclusion & sealing: $600–$1,800 typical; $1,800–$3,500+ complex
• Add-ons: vent guards, door sweeps, moisture correction
No scare tactics. No exaggeration. Just safe, humane, and thorough snake handling — done with respect for both your property and the wildlife.

Standard inspection (within our service area): $75 crawlspace $150
What you get:
• Full inspection of interior and exterior areas where the snake was seen or suspected
• Identification of species (if visible) or evidence of snake presence (shed skins, droppings, tracks)
• Assessment of entry points such as gaps under doors, foundation cracks, or vent openings
• Clear plan for safe removal and long-term prevention
Why we start here:
Snakes rarely enter a home at random. They follow prey. (A cheaper option is to contact a company like Four Seasons Pest Control to remove Mice, We have seen them do great work.) A careful inspection tells us if you have a single visitor or a recurring access issue — helping you avoid unnecessary panic and unnecessary costs.

Ballpark: $75 Venomous calls are the same price. We do not fear the spicy noodle.
$150 in crawlspace
If a snake is visible and safely accessible:
• We remove it using humane tongs, hooks, or just reach down and grab the poor baby
• Identify it on-site (non-venomous vs. venomous)
• Relocate it to a safe, lawful area away from human structures
• Provide recommendations for sealing or deterrents
Note: If the snake retreats into inaccessible areas (walls, ductwork, crawlspace voids), additional setup or monitoring may be needed.
-
Ballpark: $200–$450 (better and cheaper option is to contact a company like Four Seasons Pest Control to remove Mice, We have seen them do great work.)
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 required)
This phase is most common in crawlspaces or outbuildings where food and shelter attract repeat visits.
-
Better Cheaper option is to contact a pest control company like Four Seasons Pest Control to eliminate mouse problems.
Typical homes: $600–$1,800
Complex foundations or crawlspaces: $1,800–$3,500+
What it includes:
• Sealing foundation cracks, gaps, and holes larger than 1⁄4 inch
• Installing wildlife-grade vent covers and door sweeps
• Applying durable mesh barriers to crawlspace openings
• Photo documentation of completed work
Why people choose this:
One snake means others may follow the same rodent scent path. Full exclusion not only keeps snakes out, but often reduces rodents and insects as well.
Guarantee:
Full exclusion packages include a 3-year guarantee on sealed points.
-
• Crawlspace vent guards — $80–$150 each
• Door sweep installation — $40–$90 per door
• Foundation gap sealing — $8–$15 per linear foot
• Moisture or rodent inspection (add-on service) — $75–$150
• Camera monitoring (optional short-term) — $100–$200
We only recommend add-ons that meaningfully prevent re-entry. If the snake entered through a single gap, we’ll show you exactly where and how to fix it.
