At Southern Wildlife Management, we provide affordable, professional Snake Control and Snake Removal Services across North Georgia. If the sight—or even the thought—of snakes in your yard causes stress, you’re not alone. Whether you’ve seen a snake near your porch, shed, crawlspace, or landscaping, our experienced team is ready to respond quickly and remove it from your property.

Snakes are silent, stealthy, and rarely just passing through. If the conditions are right—food, shelter, moisture—they’ll stay. And if nothing is done, more will follow. We’ve seen it firsthand: our record is 30 Copperhead Snakes removed from one residential yard. You can view the proof in our photo gallery below.

We proudly serve homeowners in Alpharetta, Ball Ground, Buford, Crabapple, Cumming, Dahlonega, Dawsonville, Duluth, Ellijay, Gainesville, Johns Creek, Marietta, Milton, Norcross, Peachtree Corners, Roswell, Sandy Springs, Suwanee, and throughout Fulton County and Forsyth County. If you’re located just outside this coverage area—give us a call. We’ll do our best to help or point you in the right direction.

Our licensed wildlife technician will perform up to 30 minutes of active search time on your property. During this time, we will locate, hand-capture, and remove any visible snakes. Snake trapping is illegal in the state of Georgia, so all removals are done by hand or with professional tools, following legal guidelines.

This service is billed at a flat rate—meaning you pay the same whether we remove zero snakes or several. You’re not paying for the number of snakes removed—you’re paying for a skilled, timely, and compliant service call. We’re highly successful in locating snakes, and many homeowners are surprised by how many we uncover. Still, wildlife is unpredictable, so the fee covers the technician’s time, expertise, and immediate response.

After the removal, we’ll perform a full evaluation of your property to determine what might be attracting snakes. You’ll receive a custom checklist of habitat issues to address—such as overgrown shrubs, firewood stacks, debris piles, unsealed gaps, excessive moisture, or signs of rodent activity.

The key to long-term snake prevention is simple: remove what attracts them. If snakes can’t find shelter, food, or comfort, they’ll keep moving. These changes don’t just make your yard less inviting for snakes—they improve overall safety and sanitation as well.

As an additional layer of defense, we offer a Snake Repellent Application that is plant-safe, people-safe, and pet-safe. Unlike many store-bought repellents, our formula contains no Naphthalene—a chemical listed by the CDC as a potential carcinogen often found in mothball-style products.

We’ve had tremendous success with our repellent program, especially when paired with expert snake removal and proper yard maintenance. The repellent doesn’t create an invisible wall, but it works by disrupting the snake’s Jacobson’s organ—a sensory system they rely on to navigate their environment. This irritation makes them feel uncomfortable and encourages them to move along. And just as important as the product itself is how and where it’s applied. We use strategic application methods that maximize effectiveness.

🐍 Top 15 FAQs for Snake Removal & Snake Control –

Q) How do I safely get rid of a snake on my property?

A) The only legal and safe way to remove a snake in Georgia is by having a licensed professional hand-catch it. Trapping snakes is illegal because traps cannot selectively target venomous species and may harm protected non-venomous snakes.

Q) Are snakes around my home dangerous?

A) Some snakes are harmless, but Georgia is home to venomous species like copperheads and rattlesnakes. Even non-venomous snakes can be aggressive if provoked, so it’s best not to approach.

Q) What attracts snakes to my yard or crawlspace?

A) Shade, water, and food. Snakes are often drawn to yards with woodpiles, overgrown vegetation, standing water, or rodent activity.

Q) Can you remove a snake from under a porch or deck?

A) Yes. We frequently remove snakes from under porches, decks, HVAC pads, and other cool, shaded areas. These are common hiding spots during warmer months.

Q) Do you remove snakes from attics?

A) No. We do not offer attic snake removals due to liability and safety reasons. Snakes move too quickly in attics, and there is typically no direct threat to the home’s occupants.

Q) What should I do if I find a snake in my garage?

A) Shut any doors to contain it and call a professional immediately. We’ll hand-catch the snake and inspect for how it gained access.

Q) Do you offer snake prevention services after removal?

A) Yes. We provide professional snake repellent applications around structures and landscaping. We also offer habitat modification advice and exclusion services to seal entry points like crawlspace vents and utility gaps.

Q) Is it legal to trap a snake in Georgia?

A) No. Trapping non-venomous snakes is illegal in Georgia. Because a trap cannot target only venomous species, the law prohibits their use. All removals must be done by hand.

Q) Can you remove a snake from inside the house?

A) Yes—if it’s in an accessible area like a kitchen, bathroom, or hallway. We respond quickly, hand-catch the snake, and inspect for how it entered.

Q) What types of snakes are most common in Georgia homes?

A) The most common snakes we encounter are rat snakes, water snakes, copperheads, and brown Dekay snakes. Many are non-venomous, but identification should always be left to professionals.

Q) Do snake repellents actually work?

A) Yes—when you understand their purpose. Snakes are ambush predators that rely heavily on heat signatures and sensory cues to detect prey. Our repellent disrupts those sensory receptors, making the area uncomfortable and unfamiliar. The goal isn’t to block them with an invisible wall—it’s to convince them to keep moving… right out of your yard.

Q) I found a snake skin in my crawlspace—should I be concerned?

A) Not necessarily. A snake skin doesn’t indicate when the snake was present. It may have simply been passing through. If you’re uncomfortable, we can come inspect your property and search for any signs of current activity.

Q) Will killing a snake stop others from coming around?

A) No. Snakes are solitary and don’t “warn” others. The best long-term strategy is exclusion and habitat cleanup, not elimination of one snake.

Q) Do you offer emergency snake removal services?

A) Yes. If a snake is in a high-traffic area like a garage, front porch, or interior room, we offer rapid-response hand removal for your safety.

Q) What time of year are snakes most active in Georgia?

A) From early spring through fall. Activity spikes in warm weather when snakes hunt, mate, and seek cool shaded areas around structures.
