Snake Control in Orlando

With a warm climate and many wetland areas, Central Florida has many snakes. Many native species of snakes are important for the local ecosystem in the Orlando area. However, snakes can be very dangerous, poisonous, or not.

Snakes wander into homes in search of prey and nesting sites or find themselves inside purely by accident. Because snakes cannot chew or dig, they must gain entrance through small holes and cracks. Depending on their size, snakes may even be able to slither under gaps in doors. Once inside, snakes travel throughout houses inside walls, pipes, and around trusses.

Signs of a Snake Problem

Identifying a problem early is key to preventing damage. If you notice any of these signs, call a professional before the issue gets worse.

• Snake Droppings – Small droppings in pantries, cabinets, or along walls clearly indicate activity.
• Snake Skins – Snakes shed skin about once a month; older snakes do so a bit less. If you’re seeing snake skins in your house, then, it’s probable that the sake in question wasn’t merely passing through.
• Snake Tracks – Their appearance is reminiscent of the track a rubber hose would leave, typically about ½ an inch wide or more, in the form of wavy or straight lines. This sign can be harder to spot. You’ll typically find a track through dust or dirt.

Why Is a Snake in My House?

It could be that a single snake simply wandered into your house to seek refuge from the elements–not unlikely, as snakes are cold-blooded and very sensitive to temperature changes. Your home may offer ideal conditions for a snake—temperate and with many dark places. 

Another, more concerning possibility is a rodent infestation. Snakes primarily prey on rodents. A rodent infestation could lure a snake into your home.

What Are the Most Common Snakes in Orlando?

Snake Control and Removal

Because of Florida’s climate and vegetation, snakes are quite common. Many snakes are harmless and can help control the rodent population around your home. Seeing the occasional snake is generally not something to worry about. Seeing too many, or one too often, is a problem, though. In addition, snakes inside your home can be extremely dangerous.

Critter Control offers safe, humane snake control for residential and commercial areas. Our wildlife specialists will come and assess the situation, determining what is attracting the snake to your home or property (e.g., food, shelter, etc.). From there, we’ll humanely remove the snake or snakes and ensure that the habitat is not inviting to snakes in the future.

We had bats living in our roof tiles, causing additional insects in the house.
Our previous pest control service thought it was water, didn’t realize it was bats. Problem was going on 6 months and they never tried to seek out the problem, just kept spraying. Dave from Critter Control came out, saw the issue and took care of it.
He is our new pest guy

Heard a critter in the attic, called Critter Control, and Dave came out the same day. After a recent roof replacement, we assumed attic space would be sealed off. Dave identified plenty of spaces where rodents may enter, and sealed them off properly. He then set rat traps in the attic and checked on them every other day for 2 weeks. Rodents are no longer in our attic. Excellent response and service, and would highly recommend Critter Control.

Dave did a great job. Sealed the garage door where rats had chewed their way in and over a month trapped all rodents in garage and attic. Very pleasant and professional to deal with.
