Snakes in Crawl Spaces: Removal & Exclusion

How to get rid of Snakes in Your Crawl Spaces

Snakes make their way into houses in search of food and shelter. Since these cold-blooded reptiles must regulate their body temperatures, they seek out quiet, shaded hiding spots. Encounters with a snake in a crawl space can be dangerous for residents. A bite from a nonvenomous species can still result in tissue damage and infection.

Entry Points

Lawn debris and tall grass often harbor snakes. When hunting for mice or rats, these reptiles may follow their prey indoors. Snakes typically get inside through basement windows or foundation cracks. Residents dealing with rodent infestations may also find snakes in crawl spaces or the basement.

Snake Exclusion

Homeowners can prevent snakes in crawl spaces by sealing all possible openings. Filling in foundation crevices and repairing windows keep rodents as well as snakes from getting indoors. Removing yard clutter and controlling rats or mice also helps deter the pests.

Getting Rid of Snakes in a Crawl Space

Removal is dangerous due to the serious risk of a snake bite. Homeowners experiencing problems should contact Critter Control. Our technicians have the training to handle snakes in a crawl space.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had some kind of gopher ruining my lawn. Reached out to Critter Control. Evan and Eric are awesome. Super responsive, they we're able to get to my house within a very reasonable timeframe. No more gopher(s). Should they return Evan/Critter Control will be my first call. I highly recommend these guys. If you're having any issues with small critters, give them a shout!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was very happy with the diagnosis and inspection of my property. I had them come out to treat for insects and spiders and they actually found a few spots on my home where birds had made their way in, they explained how they would clean out and cover the vent. They didn’t try to upsell me on anything either.
