Snake Removal in Missouri City

Most snakes in the yard are harmless and even eat rodents, but a few are venomous, so the first job is telling which is which.

Snake in the yard, garage or flower bed? Most snakes here are harmless and even help by eating rats and mice, but Texas does have venomous ones like copperheads and cottonmouths, so the first thing is identifying what you have. We remove the snake and point out what is drawing them in, usually rodents, brush and cover near the house.

Harmless or venomous

The Gulf Coast has a lot of snakes, and most are harmless and are doing you a favor by eating rodents. A few are venomous, copperheads and cottonmouths mainly, so knowing which one is in the flower bed matters. Some Texas snakes are also protected, so identification comes first, before anyone does anything. We handle that part.

What draws them in

Snakes follow food and cover. A yard with a rodent problem, thick brush, wood piles or tall grass along the fence gives them both. We remove the snake and show you what to change so the yard is less inviting, and if rodents are the draw, treating that is the real fix.

Questions

Snake removal questions

How do I know if the snake in my yard is dangerous?
Most yard snakes here are harmless, but copperheads and cottonmouths are venomous and do show up, so it is worth having it identified rather than guessing. Keep your distance and call. We identify what you have and remove it.
Why do I keep getting snakes in the yard?
Snakes go where the food and cover are. A rodent problem, wood piles, thick brush or tall grass along the fence draws them in. Removing the cover and treating the rodents is what makes the yard less inviting.
Do you have to kill the snake?
Not usually, and some Texas snakes are protected, so identifying it first matters. The goal is getting it off your property safely and changing what drew it in, so it is a removal, not an extermination.
