Snake Removal in Macon, Columbus, and South Georgia

Snakes are very common wildlife here in Georgia. We have at least 40 species confirmed to live in the state. They're also among the more misunderstood of our Georgia wildlife.

Snakes are reptiles and belong to the order Serpentes, or serpents. Like all reptiles, snakes are cold-blooded, which means they have little ability to regulate their body temperatures.

In general, snakes are overwhelmingly beneficial because they're carnivores; and rodents like rats and mice are among their favorite foods. Snakes in your garden are almost certainly doing you more good than harm by dining on rodents and insects that eat or infest your crops.

Our Georgia snakes, like Georgians in general, also tend to be very polite. None of the species of snakes in Georgia will attack a human unless they feel threatened or are stepped on.

Venomous Snakes of Georgia

Of all the species of snakes we have in Georgia, only six are venomous ("poisonous"):

All the rest of our Georgia snakes are non-venomous. But unless you're a snake expert, any snake bite should be treated as a medical emergency unless you're absolutely certain that the snake is not venomous.

Snake Removal and Exclusion

Despite their overwhelmingly beneficial nature, there are times when snakes have to be removed from someplace where they don't belong. Some examples include:

After snakes have been removed from a home or building, it needs to be made animal-proof to keep snakes and other wildlife out.

A rodent control crew doing a mouse control job in the attic of a Centerville, Georgia home found a bunch of shed snake skins in the attic. The snakes no doubt slithered their way up there to eat the mice. We're trapping and removing the mice that the snakes haven't eaten yet, and animal-proofing the house to keep rodent pests, snakes, and wildlife of all kinds out of the attic.

A homeowner found a shed snake skin on the floor in her garage, and she is not at all happy about it. A snake-removal specialist is heading out to her Williamson, Georgia home to check out the situation. Most likely the snake went into the garage looking for rodents to eat; so we'll inspect for rats ans mice, as well.

One of our wildlife-removal technicians just removed a snake from under the porch of a house in Forsyth, Georgia. Snake-removal calls are pretty common this time of year. They're usually secondary to rats or mice at the locations. The snakes follow the rodents looking for a meal.

In Anniston to look a customer’s chimney. I believe he has chimney swifts nesting in the flue pipe. Going to Leeds after that to set some mouse traps. Couple stops in Birmingham for squirrels and rats later today.

We have a crew rushing out to remove snakes from the crawl space of a house in Macon. An electrician working in the crawl space found snake skins, and the homeowner is terrified of snakes. Most likely there's a rat or mouse problem that needs to be treated. Snakes often follow rodents into homes because they find them rather tasty.
