Miami is home to all types of snakes. Although some are completely harmless such as milk snakes, others like the eastern coral snake have neurotoxic venom. If bitten by one, it can affect your nervous system causing paralysis to the diaphragm. Because most homeowners are not familiar with different species of snakes, Critter Control in Miami often receives calls to remove snakes from:

• Residents’ yards
• Underneath a home or deck
• In a swimming pool
• Inside a home or garage

Professional Snake Removal Services in Miami

Snake removal is a tricky task, so it’s best not to go it alone. Instead, calling in professional help can ensure that you safely remove this slithering guest from your home for good.

The process starts with a thorough home inspection. Snakes are experts at squeezing into tight holes to stay out of sight. But our professionals will find all of their hidden corners.

During the inspection, we will look for what lured the snakes into your home. Unfortunately, snakes are often a sign of a rodent infestation. So, we will carefully look for any potential rodents that could act as a food source for the snakes in your home.

After the inspection, we will carefully remove the snakes. We do this with humane trapping. Snake traps include a funnel trap or glue board (vegetable oil harmless counteracts the glue and releases the snake). If the snake hasn’t moved, we can remove it with snake tongs. No snake removal job is finished until the rodent population is under control. An active rodent population will continue to attract snakes into your house.

As a wildlife removal company, we will not exterminate snakes as some pest control companies might. Snakes present little danger to people and fill an essential role within a local ecosystem.
