🐍 Snake Removal Services in Northern Virginia
Seeing a snake on your property—or worse, inside your home—can be alarming. While many snakes in Virginia are harmless and beneficial to the ecosystem, venomous species like copperheads can pose serious risks to your family and pets.
BEDR Wildlife Removal offers expert snake removal and exclusion services to relocate snakes safely, identify entry points, and prevent future encounters.
We trap and remove snakes in Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax, Fairfax County, and Fredericksburg, Virginia.
🚨 Signs You May Have a Snake Problem:
- Snake sightings in basements, garages, sheds, or crawl spaces
- Shed snake skins in or around your home
- Hissing or movement in walls or ceilings
- An increase in rodent activity (snakes often follow food sources)
- Entry holes near foundations or gaps under doors
🛠️ Our Snake Removal Process
- Thorough Property Inspection
We locate hiding spots, nesting areas, and possible entry points inside your home, attic, crawlspace, or yard.
- Safe Snake Capture
Using specialized tools and protective gear, we safely capture the snake—whether venomous or non-venomous—and relocate it far from your home, per Virginia law.
- Identification
We identify the species and inform you if it’s venomous (like copperheads or rattlesnakes) or non-venomous (like rat snakes or garter snakes).
- Exclusion & Prevention
We seal entry points, install snake-proof screening, and recommend rodent control (since rodents attract snakes).
