Garages are one of the most common places South Floridians find snakes — dark, sheltered, often full of clutter, and usually with a gap under the door. Here's how to handle it.
Why snakes like garages
Garages offer shelter, cool dark corners, and frequently a rodent or insect population that snakes hunt. The gap under a garage door and openings around the frame make entry easy, and stored clutter gives snakes plenty of places to hide.
So a snake in the garage is often a sign of two things: easy access and available food.
Safe removal
Don't try to grab or kill a snake in your garage — keep your distance and, if safe, keep it in view. A professional can safely identify and remove it, which is especially important if there's any chance it's venomous.
Once it's out, the goal shifts to keeping the next one from getting in.
Keep snakes out
Seal the gap under the garage door and around the frame, reduce clutter that provides hiding spots, keep the area tidy, and address any rodent problem that's drawing snakes in. Reducing food and shelter is what makes a garage unappealing to snakes.
