Snake Removal in North Alabama
Professional Snake Removal
Roberts Wildlife removes snakes from homes and yards across North Alabama, from the Tennessee Valley around Huntsville and Decatur down through the Birmingham metro. We identify the species first, capture and relocate it safely, then find the gaps and habitat that drew it in so the problem does not repeat. Every job carries a one-year guarantee on the areas we touch.
A snake in the garage or coiled under the deck is the kind of thing that stops a household in its tracks, especially when no one can say for sure whether it is venomous. Our licensed team handles that call quickly and calmly, gets the snake out, and moves it well away from your property.
Signs You Have a Snake Problem
Snakes turn up wherever there is food and cover, so the signs are usually as much about the habitat as the animal itself. Watch for any of these around your North Alabama property:
- Shed Skins – papery snake skins in the garage, crawl space, or near the foundation.
- Repeat Sightings – snakes seen around woodpiles or along the edge of a pond or creek.
- A Rise in Rodents – a jump in mice or rats is often what drew the snake in to begin with.
- Open Entry Points – gaps around the foundation or under door sweeps where a snake can slip inside.
Our Snake Removal Process
We keep the process safe for your family and the snake. Here is how a typical call goes:
- Inspection & Identification – We confirm the species and whether it is venomous, then find where it is getting in or hiding.
- Safe Capture & Relocation – We capture the snake with the proper tools and move it well away from your property.
- Entry-Point Sealing – We close the gaps around the foundation and vents that let snakes inside.
- Habitat & Prevention Advice – We point out the brush piles and rodent activity that attract snakes and help you make the yard less inviting.
- One-Year Guarantee on any areas we touch.
If you find a snake you can't identify, call (256) 535-3401 and keep your distance until we arrive.
Venomous Snakes in North Alabama
Most snakes in North Alabama are harmless and actually help keep the rodent population down. A few are dangerous enough that you should never try to handle one yourself:
- Copperhead – the bite we see most, common on the wooded, rocky slopes of Monte Sano and the foothills around the Talladega National Forest.
- Timber Rattlesnake – found across Sand Mountain and the wooded ridges that run through North Alabama.
- Cottonmouth – semi-aquatic and most often seen near the Tennessee River, Lake Guntersville, and farm ponds.
- Pigmy Rattlesnake – smaller and easy to miss, turning up in scattered pockets across the region.
If a snake is inside your home or you cannot identify it from a safe distance, leave it alone and call Roberts Wildlife.

Keeping Snakes Away From Your Property
Once the snake is gone, a few changes around the yard make it far less likely another one moves in:
- Clear the Cover – move woodpiles and brush away from the house and keep the grass short.
- Control Rodents – mice and rats are the main food source that pulls snakes onto a property.
- Seal the Gaps – close openings around the foundation and crawl space.
- Rethink the Feeders – spilled birdseed and pet food draw rodents, and rodents draw snakes.
