How to Get Rid of Snakes in Your Garage

Garages are a favorite snake hideout. Here's how to remove them and keep them out.

#Snakes#Garage#Prevention

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.

Our snake removal service removes garage snakes and helps seal them out. Call 561-940-1895.

How to Tell If a Snake Is Venomous in Florida

Florida has venomous and harmless snakes that look alike. Here's the safe way to think about ID.

#Snakes#Identification#Safety

One of the most common — and important — questions in South Florida is whether the snake you're looking at is venomous. Here's the honest, safety-first answer.

Why ID is trickier than the internet suggests

You'll see 'rules' online about head shape, pupils and color patterns, but these are unreliable and dangerous to bet on — harmless snakes often mimic venomous ones, lighting and angle distort features, and you should never get close enough to examine a snake's pupils in the first place.

Florida has several venomous species (including rattlesnakes, cottonmouths and coral snakes) alongside many harmless natives that are easily confused with them.

The safe approach

Treat every unidentified snake as if it could be venomous: keep a safe distance, keep pets and children away, and don't attempt to handle or kill it. Most bites happen when people try to catch or dispatch a snake they've misidentified.

If you need to know what it is — or need it gone — the safe move is to call a professional for identification and removal rather than getting close.

Let a pro handle it

Our team safely identifies and removes snakes, so you get a definitive answer without any risk. We also help you understand what attracted the snake and how to reduce future encounters.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I tell if a snake is venomous in Florida?

Reliably, you often can't from a safe distance — and you should never get close to check. Florida has venomous and look-alike harmless species. Treat any unidentified snake as potentially venomous.

Are online snake ID rules accurate?

Not reliably. Head shape and pupil 'rules' fail often because harmless snakes mimic venomous ones and you shouldn't be close enough to see such details. Call a professional for safe ID.

What should I do with a snake I can't identify?

Keep your distance, keep pets and kids away, don't handle it, and call a professional for identification and removal. Call 561-940-1895.

Snake in the House? Here's Exactly What to Do

Found a snake indoors? Stay calm and follow these steps — and don't try to grab it.

#Snakes#Emergency#Safety

Finding a snake inside your home, garage or pool cage is startling — but if you stay calm and follow a few steps, it's very manageable. Here's exactly what to do.

Keep your distance and contain it

Don't try to grab, kill or handle the snake — most bites happen during exactly that. Keep people and pets away, and if it's safe, keep the snake in sight from a distance. If it's in one room, you can close the door and block the gap underneath to contain it until help arrives.

Never assume you can identify a venomous snake at a glance — South Florida has both harmless and venomous species that are easily confused.

Call for professional removal

A snake indoors is a priority call for a wildlife professional, who will safely identify and remove it. This is far safer than a DIY attempt, especially if there's any chance the snake is venomous.

Our team removes snakes from homes, garages and pool cages and then checks how it got in — because snakes follow food and shelter, and where there's one, conditions may invite more.

Prevent the next one

After removal, sealing gaps under doors and around penetrations, reducing harborage (woodpiles, debris, dense ground cover), and addressing any rodent problem (a major snake attractant) all help keep snakes out.

Our snake removal service covers South Florida with fast response. Call 561-940-1895.
