Do not try to kill, handle, or catch\u00a0snakes. Do not release captive\u00a0snakes\u00a0into the wild.

There are plenty of non-venomous and venomous\u00a0snakes\u00a0located in Charleston and the Lowcountry. Thoughts of\u00a0snakes\u00a0slithering around a home can be very unsettling. First of all,\u00a0Snakes\u00a0are excellent climbers.\u00a0Snakes\u00a0will not be confined to low foundation openings, but can and will take advantage of trees, bushes, and limbs overlapping your roof line, use mortar lines in between brick to move up your home, and gutter spouts to climb higher to access attic openings.\u00a0Snakes\u00a0often will enter homes high and low if there are openings, to seek out a food source. By food source, usually mice, rats, birds, and lizards. Body oils that rub off a animals fur that are using your home as shelter, is all a\u00a0snake\u00a0needs to follow scent markings, attractants, and trails, right to the same exact opening the animal has been. Once the\u00a0snake\u00a0is inside the home, it will follow those same trails through insulation in attics, walls, or even into the crawlspace to search out the food source. Have you ever seen a mouse run across a floor? If your one of the homeowners who have came home to a\u00a0snake\u00a0in your floor, this is how that happens. Contact our\u00a0Snake\u00a0Removal Specialists at Animal Pros for further information on\u00a0snake\u00a0control for your home.<\/p>\n<h2>Snakes\u00a0In Your Yard<\/h2>\n<p>Seeing\u00a0Snakes\u00a0in your yard may not be a need of panic. Best thing to do is leave the\u00a0snake\u00a0alone, as it is just passing by.\u00a0Snakes\u00a0are put here for a reason and they do their fair share of controlling rodent populations. But if the\u00a0snake\u00a0does come up around the home, gets too close to children or pets removal may be necessary. Evaluate what is exactly the cause. Are there bird nests in the shrubs and trees around your home? Is there debris and shelter, or over growth of vegetation creating a suitable habitat? Is there a rodent problem in your attic or crawlspace? Is there building and construction happening close by? These are all reasons why\u00a0snakes\u00a0might inhibit your property, and take up refuge.<\/p>\n<h2>Snake\u00a0Control Charleston<\/h2>\n<p>If you are in need of\u00a0Snake\u00a0Control in Charleston area wide, then you should contact us today. A\u00a0Snake\u00a0Search is performed identifying the presence of\u00a0Snakes,\u00a0Snake\u00a0Skins,\u00a0Snake Droppings, the food source the\u00a0Snakes\u00a0are after, and openings the\u00a0Snakes\u00a0may be using to gain access into your home. Contact our\u00a0Snake\u00a0Removal and Control Specialists today for all questions and concerns of\u00a0snake\u00a0problems in South Carolina and Charleston area wide.<\/p>\n<p>We handle\u00a0snake control to the following cities in South Carolina including Charleston, Mt. Pleasant, West Ashley, Sullivan&#8217;s Island, Island of Palms, Johns Island, James Island, Kiawah Island, Ladson, Summerville, Folly Beach, Edisto Island, Seabrook Island, Morris Island, Dewees Island, Goose Creek, and North Charleston, South Carolina.<\/p>\n<p>We also provide snake control services of the following counties: Charleston County, Dorchester County, Berkeley County, and Colleton County.<\/p>\n<h2>Charleston\u00a0Snakes\u00a0in Attic<\/h2>\n<p>Snake\u00a0activity in South Carolina, or Charleston area wide really starts occurring in early March through early November. Most\u00a0Snake\u00a0bites occur April \u2013 October in South Carolina. But with South Carolina having mild temperature any given day, you can have\u00a0snake\u00a0activity nearly year round.\u00a0Snakes\u00a0can be diurnal and seen mostly during the day as temperatures warm, but\u00a0snakes\u00a0can be nocturnal, especially when temperatures are conducive, or moving in and out of a home. We have commonly entered attics with live\u00a0snakes, removed them, searched for more, only to return the next day to find more live\u00a0snakes. Mating Season of\u00a0snakes\u00a0vary by species, and can occur April \u2013 September, and by geographical area.<\/p>\n<h2>Snakes Found Around Your Home<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/animalprosonline.com\/charleston\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2012\/01\/scarlet_kingsnake_1.jpg\" alt=\"scarlet_kingsnake_1\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1533\" \/>Snake\u00a0calls that pour in on a daily basis, indicate a Rattlesnake or Copperhead, when in 99.9% of the cases it is a non venomous\u00a0snake. Did you know that most non venomous\u00a0snakes\u00a0will rattle their tail or whip it back and fourth as a defense mechanism, making a rattle noise. Any\u00a0snake\u00a0can be aggressive, and\u00a0snakes\u00a0should all be treated with respect. If you are unsure, treat it as a venomous\u00a0snake\u00a0and keep your distance.\u00a0Snakes\u00a0will frequent residential areas in search of food sources like, frogs, toads, fish, lizards, mice, rats, birds, squirrels, and even bats, especially if you have any of these living in your home.<\/p>\n<h2>Understanding\u00a0Snake\u00a0Problems<\/h2>\n<p>Snakes\u00a0are incredibly good at finding a food source. If you have ever seen a\u00a0snake\u00a0flickering its tongue, it is tasting the air. Once a\u00a0snake\u00a0brings his tongue back into its mouth, scent particles in the air are pushed up to a organ on the roof of the mouth, letting that\u00a0snake\u00a0know if its prey, or to be afraid. The &#8220;Vomeronasal organ&#8221; or &#8220;Jacobson\u2019s organ&#8221; is used in\u00a0snakes\u00a0to pick up scent marking of prey. It is these same scent marking leading a\u00a0snake\u00a0directly to the opening of a home a rodent may be using, turning a mice problem to a mice and\u00a0snake\u00a0problem.<\/p>\n<h2>Charleston\u00a0Snake\u00a0Trapping<\/h2>\n<p>There are a number of\u00a0snake\u00a0traps on the market, and very few that are effective. The best way to remove a\u00a0snake, is to have a professional remove it as soon as it is seen. Having a professional search for a\u00a0snake\u00a0that was seen last week is like searching for a needle in a haystack. We do offer\u00a0snake\u00a0trapping in certain situations if necessary and trap placement including what is put in the trap is key. Contact us today for help with\u00a0snake\u00a0trapping in Charleston area wide.<\/p>\n<h2>How To Get Rid Of\u00a0Snakes:<\/h2>\n<div>It is very important to remember when a\u00a0snake\u00a0is found in or around a home, to stay away from the\u00a0snake. Unless it is 100% identified as non venomous, treat it as it is venomous. Do not try to remove it, kill it, or harass it. Call a professional at Animal Pros. We can assist with\u00a0snake\u00a0help,\u00a0snake\u00a0<wbr \/>identification,\u00a0snake\u00a0removal, and even phone support making you aware of some of the underlying issues that may be happening for example:<\/div>\n<ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Is there a Rodent, Squirrel, or Bird Problem in or around your home?<\/li>\n<li>Is there openings around your foundation or roofline?<\/li>\n<li>Do Tree\u2019s overlap your roof?<\/li>\n<li>Are you noticing frequent\u00a0snake\u00a0sightings?<\/li>\n<li>Have you found\u00a0snake\u00a0skins,\u00a0snake\u00a0<wbr \/>droppings, or areas where\u00a0snakes\u00a0are often found?<\/li>\n<li>Is there yard debris, or a abundance of over growth?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The answers to many of these problems will be addressed and evaluated by our Animal Pros\u00a0snake\u00a0specialists, as we can provide a long lasting permanent solution.<\/p>\n<h2>Snake\u00a0Repellents<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/animalprosonline.com\/charleston\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2012\/01\/timber-1.jpg\" alt=\"timber-1\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1535\" \/>Snake\u00a0Repellents are more often ineffective by itself. There are several different\u00a0snake\u00a0repellents on the market, and few can be effective only in addition to other\u00a0Snake\u00a0Control options. Separating Facts from Myths is crucial. Fact, Moth Balls are ineffective. Not only do Moth Balls not work, they are bad for the environment.\u00a0Snake\u00a0Repellents come in spray, liquid, and powder form. For a\u00a0Snake\u00a0Repellent to be effective, debris or shelter for\u00a0snakes\u00a0must be removed or habitat modified. The food source\u00a0snakes\u00a0are after must be eliminated. Openings in or around your home must be secured. The other factors that can effect longevity of\u00a0Snake\u00a0Repellents can be weather. How much rain does the area receive, is it the rain or flooding season, does the area hold a lot of moisture. There are several safety precautions when using\u00a0Snake\u00a0Repellents, so the best thing to do is contact one of our professionals for further assistance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Charleston\u00a0Snake\u00a0Removal Animal Pros ~\u00a0843-790-4077 Charleston, South Carolina is home to 38 species of\u00a0snakes, and of the species, only 6 are venomous.
