The Woodlands, TX Snake Removal

from The Critter Team Wildlife Removal Podcast Hosted by Mike Garrett

If you have trouble with snakes in your back yard, then you should get help? The Critter Team offers snake removal services in The Woodlands, TX and identifies the conditions that brought the snake onto the property in the first place. A snake inside a house is rarely a standalone event. In most cases, it followed a food source, and that food source is almost always rodents. Removing the snake without investigating the underlying rodent activity leaves the door open for the next one. The Woodlands' dense tree canopy, creek corridors along Spring Creek, and the landscaped lots throughout the community create habitat for multiple snake species, including rat snakes, copperheads, and cottonmouths near water features and drainage areas. Rat snakes are the species most commonly found inside homes and garages because they follow roof rat and mouse activity through the same gaps those rodents use to enter the structure. Copperheads tend to stay at ground level in mulch beds, leaf litter, and woodpiles, and are most active in the warm months when Montgomery County homeowners are spending time outdoors. Snakes only care about three things: hibernating, eating, and mating. If it is not hibernation season and they are not looking for a mate, they are following food. A snake in the wall, attic, or garage almost always means there is a rodent population already present inside the structure. The Critter Team's snake removal begins with safe capture and relocation of the snake, followed by an inspection to determine how it entered and whether a rodent problem is driving the activity. Mike Garrett, the company's owner and a veteran, checks the exterior for gaps around air conditioning lines, garage door seals, weep vents, and foundation penetrations that snakes and rodents share as entry points. If rodent activity is confirmed, the company addresses that problem as part of the same engagement so the root cause is resolved, not just the symptom. Every technician has completed the NWCOA Wildlife Control Operator Training Course.
