Snake Removal in Maryland and Virginia by Adcock’s Trapping Service

Seeing a snake in or around your home can be alarming. While most snakes in Maryland and Virginia are not dangerous, some can be venomous, and even non-venomous snakes can become a nuisance. If you have a snake problem, Adcock’s Trapping Service is here to help. We provide professional snake removal, exclusion, and prevention to keep your home and yard safe.

Signs You Have a Snake Problem

Snakes are often quiet and well-hidden, but there are some common signs that they may be living on your property or inside your home:

  • Shedding Snake Skin – Snakes shed their skin as they grow, and finding a dry, scaly skin in your basement, attic, or yard could mean a snake is nearby.
  • Slithering Noises – In quiet areas like basements, crawl spaces, or attics, you may hear a faint rustling or sliding sound.
  • Snake Tracks – Snakes leave unique trails in dusty areas or soft soil, which can look like winding or wavy lines.
  • Droppings – Snake feces are usually dark with visible bones or fur from their prey.
  • Sightings of Snakes – Seeing a snake in or around your home more than once could mean there is an infestation.

Where Snakes Hide

Snakes prefer dark, quiet places where they feel safe. Some common hiding spots include:

  • Basements and Crawl Spaces – These areas provide a cool, damp environment that snakes love.
  • Attics – Snakes may enter attics through small openings while searching for food.
  • Garages and Sheds – Cluttered areas give snakes plenty of places to hide.
  • Woodpiles and Tall Grass – Snakes often hide in overgrown areas or under stacks of firewood.





Why Snakes Are a Problem

While many snakes are harmless, they can still be a cause for concern:

  • Venomous Snakes – Copperheads and rattlesnakes are found in Maryland and Virginia, and their bites can be dangerous.
  • Fear and Stress – Many people are afraid of snakes, and their presence can cause anxiety in a household.
  • Prey Attraction – Snakes are often drawn to homes with rodent problems. If you have snakes, it may mean you also have mice or rats.
  • Possible Property Damage – While snakes do not chew or scratch, they can make nests in insulation and leave droppings behind.

Our Safe and Professional Snake Removal Process

At Adcock’s Trapping Service, we use professional methods to safely remove and prevent snakes from returning. Here’s how we handle snake control:

1. Inspection

We thoroughly inspect your home and property to identify snake entry points, hiding spots, and food sources.

2. Safe Snake Removal

Our experts use specialized tools and techniques to capture and remove snakes safely. If venomous snakes are found, we handle them with extra care to prevent harm.

3. Exclusion (Sealing Entry Points)

Once the snakes are removed, we seal any cracks, holes, or gaps where they may have entered. This prevents new snakes from coming inside.

4. Cleanup and Sanitation

If snakes have left droppings, shed skins, or nests, we clean and sanitize the area to remove any odors that might attract other wildlife.

5. Prevention and Control

To keep snakes from returning, we offer professional advice on reducing snake attractants, such as removing food sources (like rodents), trimming tall grass, and keeping storage areas tidy.
