The problem
Snake Removal, done right
Maine's snakes are harmless to people, but that doesn't mean you want one in the basement. Snakes get in through gaps in the foundation, around bulkheads and under garage doors, often following mice.
We remove the snake, find how it got in, and seal it up. If there are a lot of snakes around the house, we'll look at what's attracting them, which is usually rodents or cover close to the foundation.
Signs to look for
How to tell it’s snakes
- A snake in the basement, garage or living space
- Shed snake skins near the foundation or in the basement
- Snakes sunning on steps, walls or stone patios
- A rodent problem (snakes follow the food)
How we handle it
Out first. Then keep them out.
Remove
We catch and remove the snake safely.
Find the way in
We check the foundation, bulkhead, sill, garage door seals and utility openings.
Seal
We close gaps with materials that snakes and rodents can't get through.
Reduce habitat
We advise on woodpiles, rock walls and heavy cover against the house that attract snakes.
This covers
- Garter snakes
- Milk snakes
- Other Maine snakes
Questions
What people ask us
Something else on your mind? Call and talk to a real person.
(207) 531-5524Are there venomous snakes in Maine?
No. None of Maine's native snakes are dangerous to people.
Why do I keep finding snakes in my basement?
Usually there's an opening at the foundation or bulkhead, and often there are mice inside for them to hunt. Seal the gaps and deal with the rodents, and the snakes stop.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the animal, how much of the house is affected and how hard the entry points are to reach. We inspect first and give you a straight written quote before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Will it come back?
Not if the entry points are sealed. Removal alone is a band-aid: another animal finds the same gap. We close the gaps with heavy-gauge materials so the problem is actually fixed.
Which areas do you cover?
Cumberland, York and Androscoggin counties in southern Maine, including Portland, South Portland, Scarborough, Biddeford, Saco, Brunswick, Lewiston and Auburn. Not sure if you’re in range? Call and ask.
