24/7 Snake Removal in Tampa Bay, Florida

Florida has six species of venomous snakes, and it takes an expert to tell them apart from harmless look-alikes. We respond 24/7 to identify, safely remove, and relocate any snake found in or around your property.

Common Florida snakes we handle

Eastern diamondback rattlesnake, pygmy rattlesnake, cottonmouth (water moccasin), coral snake, and southern copperhead — plus non-venomous species like black racers, yellow rat snakes, and ringneck snakes that people often mistake for a threat.

What to do until we arrive

Keep pets and children away. Do not try to move, kill, or corner the snake — most bites happen during removal attempts. If it's indoors, close the door to the room and place a rolled towel at the base. Then call us.

Prevention

We inspect your yard for harborage — brush piles, gaps under sheds, gaps under garage doors, and openings around utility penetrations — and give you a written plan to make your property less attractive to snakes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you come out at night?

Yes — we operate 24/7. Snake calls are one of our most common after-hours responses.

Do you kill the snakes?

No. Non-venomous snakes are humanely relocated. Venomous snakes are handled per FWC guidance to protect people, pets, and the animal.
