Common Snake Problems Around Charlotte Homes

In the Charlotte area, snakes are commonly found: 

  • In crawl spaces and basements

  • Under decks and porches

  • In garages, sheds, and utility rooms

  • Along foundation walls and landscaping

  • Near woodpiles, tall grass, and cluttered areas

Snakes are often attracted by food sources such as rodents and insects. That is why Action Pest also offers comprehensive pest control and rodent services, helping remove the conditions that draw snakes to your property in the first place.

Our Snake Removal Process

When you call Action Pest for snake removal, here is what you can expect:

1. Immediate Guidance

Our team will ask where the snake was seen, what it looks like, and whether anyone is in immediate danger. We will advise you on how to keep a safe distance and secure people and pets until we arrive.

2. On-Site Inspection

Our technician will inspect the area where the snake was spotted and nearby hiding places such as crawl spaces, storage areas, or landscaping beds.

3. Safe Capture and Removal

Using proper tools and protective equipment, we carefully capture and remove the snake from your property. We treat every situation as potentially venomous, so you never have to guess.

4. Identification and Recommendations

Once the snake is secured, we identify the species and explain whether it was venomous or non-venomous, why it may have been there, and what steps can help prevent future encounters.

5. Prevention and Exclusion Options

If needed, we can recommend or provide: 

  • Exclusion work to seal gaps and access points

  • Rodent and general pest control to remove food sources

  • Ongoing pest prevention plans for long-term protection

Signs You Need Professional Snake Removal

Call Action Pest right away if:

  • You see a snake inside your home

  • You see a snake in a crawl space, basement, or garage

  • Snakes are frequently spotted in your yard or near entry doors

  • You find shed snake skins around your foundation or inside storage areas

  • You are unsure if a snake is venomous

Do not attempt to catch or kill the snake yourself. Snakes can strike when threatened, and misidentifying a venomous species can be dangerous.

How To Help Keep Snakes Away From Your Property

While no solution can remove every risk, you can greatly reduce snake activity around your home by:

  • Keeping grass trimmed and landscaping tidy

  • Reducing clutter such as woodpiles, debris, and unused materials

  • Sealing gaps around foundations, doors, and utility penetrations

  • Controlling rodent activity with professional pest services

  • Storing firewood away from the house and off the ground

Our team can walk your property and highlight specific steps based on what we see.

Are the snakes in this area dangerous?

Both venomous and non-venomous snakes are found in the Charlotte region. Because it can be difficult to tell them apart, we always recommend keeping your distance and calling a professional. Our technician will identify the species and handle it safely. 

Do you relocate snakes?

Whenever possible, yes. We prioritize humane relocation unless the snake poses an immediate threat or relocation is restricted by regulations. We follow all state guidelines for wildlife handling.

Are all snakes venomous?

No. Most snakes in the Charlotte region are non-venomous and help control pests like rodents. However, venomous species do exist in North Carolina, and they can look similar to harmless snakes.
