Snake Removal in Lakeland, Florida
Gotcha Wildlife Removal provides licensed, humane snake removal for Lakeland homeowners and businesses. Lakeland's mature tree cover and abundance of lakes make it one of the most wildlife-active cities we serve. We're on call 24/7 and typically respond same-day across Polk County.
Why Lakeland homes get snake removal calls
Roof rats and squirrels dominate Lakeland calls, especially in neighborhoods around Lake Hollingsworth and Lake Morton. That's exactly the environment where our snake removal work pays off — we find every entry point, remove the animal humanely, and seal your home so it stays out.
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.
