Why Are Snakes Coming Onto My Property?
Snakes don’t typically enter properties without a reason. They may be looking for food, shelter, water, or protection from the elements. Properties with active rodent populations can be especially attractive because mice, rats, and other small animals provide a readily available food source. Dense vegetation, debris piles, woodpiles, gaps around structures, and other sheltered areas can also provide places for snakes to hide.
Simply removing one snake may not solve the underlying problem if the conditions that attracted it remain. Another snake may eventually find the same property appealing. A professional inspection can help identify factors that contribute to snake activity and determine what you can do to make your property less attractive to snakes.
Signs You May Have a Snake Problem
Snakes are often difficult to spot because they can move quickly and spend much of their time hiding. However, you may notice evidence that snakes are active around your property. Common signs include:
- Shed Snake Skins: Snakes periodically shed their skin as they grow. Finding a dry, crumpled snake skin around a foundation, garage, shed, crawl space, or other protected area can indicate that a snake has been using the property.
- Snake Droppings: Snake feces may sometimes be found in areas where snakes have been active. They can contain a darker portion along with a lighter, chalky material called urate.
- Unusual Odors: Some snakes can release a strong, unpleasant odor when stressed or threatened. An unusual musky smell in an enclosed area may warrant further investigation.
- Snake Sightings: Seeing a snake repeatedly around the same portion of your property can indicate that the area provides food, shelter, or another resource the snake is using.
- Rodent Activity: Mice and rats can attract snakes. If you are seeing evidence of both rodents and snakes, controlling the rodent population may be an important part of long-term snake prevention.
If you notice these signs or find a snake inside your home or business, contact a professional rather than attempting to capture it yourself.

Our Snake Control and Removal Process
Effective snake control involves more than removing the snake you see. Ja-Roy Pest Control takes a thorough approach to address the immediate problem and the conditions that may attract snakes to your property. Our process includes:
- Property Inspection: We inspect areas with snake activity for hiding places, entry points, and potential food sources.
- Snake Trapping and Removal: We use professional methods to properly trap and remove snakes from your property.
- Identify Potential Entry Points: We look for gaps and openings that may allow snakes to enter your home or business.
- Exclusion and Prevention Recommendations: We recommend sealing entry points and reducing conditions that attract snakes.
- Service Documentation and Prevention Tips: We document the service and provide tips to help prevent future snake problems.
Snake Control for YOUR BUSINESS
Snakes can create concerns for commercial properties, especially when they are found near entrances, storage areas, loading docks, or other areas used by employees and customers. Professional removal helps prevent employees or customers from attempting to handle the snake themselves.
Ja-Roy Pest Control provides commercial snake control and removal tailored to your property. Our technicians can inspect for snake activity, remove snakes when appropriate, identify contributing conditions, and recommend prevention measures for offices, restaurants, warehouses, retail locations, and other businesses.
How to Help Prevent Snakes Around Your Property
While no property can be completely protected from snakes, there are several ways to make your property less attractive to them. Consider these prevention tips:
- Keep grass and vegetation maintained around buildings.
- Remove unnecessary piles of wood, debris, and other potential hiding places.
- Keep firewood elevated and away from the structure when possible.
- Seal gaps and openings around the foundation and exterior of the building.
- Keep doors closed when they are not being used.
- Address rodent problems that may provide snakes with a food source.
- Reduce areas of standing water and other unnecessary sources of moisture.
- Keep storage areas organized and free of unnecessary clutter.
These measures can help, but they do not replace professional removal when a snake is already inside or around a structure.

Frequently Asked Questions About Snake Removal
Should I try to remove a snake myself?
It is best to leave snake removal to a trained professional, particularly when you cannot confidently identify the snake. Trying to catch, corner, or kill a snake can increase the chance of being bitten and may make the animal more defensive.
Why do I keep finding snakes around my house?
Seeing snakes repeatedly may mean your property offers food, shelter, water, or protected areas they can use. Rodents can also attract snakes by providing an available food source.
Will removing one snake keep other snakes away?
Not necessarily. Removing the individual snake addresses the immediate encounter, but other snakes may still be attracted to the property if food, shelter, entry points, or other favorable conditions remain.
