How To Identify a Snake Infestation

Signs of Prey Animals

In Fairfax County, some common prey animals for snakes include mice, rats, and small birds. Signs of these prey animals, such as droppings, nests, or carcasses, can be a sign of a snake infestation. Snakes may also leave behind shed skin or tracks in dusty areas. Keep an eye out for these signs, especially in areas where these prey animals are known to frequent, such as wooded areas, garages, or basements. If you notice signs of prey animals or suspect a snake infestation, it’s best to call a professional snake removal company in Fairfax County to safely and humanely remove the snakes and prevent them from returning.

If you notice signs of prey animals or suspect a snake infestation, it’s best to call a professional snake removal company in Fairfax County to safely and humanely remove the snakes and prevent them from returning.

Droppings

Snake droppings can be a key sign of a snake infestation. These droppings are typically long and thin, and may have a tapered end. They are usually dark in color, and may contain fur, bones, or other undigested materials from their prey. The size and shape of the droppings can vary depending on the species of snake, but they are often found near the snake’s hiding places, such as under rocks, in the corners of basements or garages, or along walls. If you find snake droppings, it is important to contact a professional wildlife removal company to help assess the situation and safely remove any snakes from your property.

Finding Snake Skin

Finding snake skin is another way to identify a snake infestation. Snakes shed their skin regularly, and the skin can often be found near their hiding spots, such as under rocks or in tall grass. Snake skin is usually long and tubular in shape, and it may have a translucent, shiny appearance. The color and pattern of the skin can vary depending on the species of snake, and some snake skin may have a more complete pattern than others. If you find snake skin, it’s important to identify the species of snake to determine the level of danger and whether it requires professional removal.

I have a Snake in My Home: What Do I Do?

Snakes in the home or basement are common during the colder months where it’s warmer, and cooler during the summer months. Because of this, homes are also a great place to find food sources such as insects or mice. If you find a snake in your house, it’s best to call a snake removal specialist.

Like all rodents, fall and winter are the ideal times where they seek warmth, and unfortunately, your home, garage, attic, or basement is the perfect place. When this happens, snakes are attracted to the rodent’s presence in your home.

That being said, snakes don’t belong in your home. While DIY methods are a popular solution, they may not always be effective or safe. Due to this, snake removal methods should be handled based on the species present, as well as the needs of your home, pets, and family.

A professional snake removal specialist will be able to provide the most safe and humane removal of snakes in your home. It is not recommended for homeowners to remove snakes from their homes.

If you cannot get it the snake out, or need professional help we at Virginia Snake Removal will provide a free inspection for snake removal in Fairfax County and it’s surrounding counties.

How Do I Prevent Snakes From Coming on My Property?

Snakes are naturally drawn to places where there is a food source, and where they can hide. As such, there are certain things you can do to make your property uninviting to them, such as:

  • Remove any piles of debris, like dead wood or rocks
  • Cut your grass regularly so snakes can’t hide in it
  • Regularly trim hedges & bushes
  • Make sure there are no gaps under doors, windows, decks, or patios

By keeping your property tidy and well maintained, you are less likely to welcome snakes or any other unwanted critters into your yard.
