Snake Control
Many people are afraid of snakes and will try to eliminate any snake they see, assuming it is deadly.
This is NOT true!
MOST SNAKES in Missouri are HARMLESS and an important part of the ecosystem-they eat the bugs and mice you don’t want in your home. ALL OUT Wildlife Control understands that many people want snakes out of sight, and we can solve your snake problems by identifying and catching individual snakes, and by permanent modifications to your property–indoors or out. Our control methods consist of exclusion (entry prevention), two types of repellent, snake fence, habitat modification and traps. We can also identify snakes, live or dead, or look at a shed snake’s skin and tell you if the snake that shed that skin is venomous.
All 6 of these snakes were caught at one home in St. Louis County. They were released to good habitat.
Please do not attempt snake control with household or industrial chemicals or mothballs. Many of these are highly toxic and carcinogenic and will cause bigger problems. Let ALL OUT do the job right!
Venomous Snakes Native to this Area
Copperhead (two species), water moccasin (cottonmouth), and four species of rattlesnake.
Of course, we provide live snake removal on a 24-hour/7-day basis. If snake identification is needed, we MUST SEE the snake itself. We won’t try to ID a snake over the phone.
Non-Venomous Snakes of Missouri
The Eastern Gartersnake is harmless and beneficial. It is found throughout the St. Louis area and in Missouri.
- Black Rat Snake
…and many others. Of the 50 distinct species in Missouri, only seven are venomous.
ALL OUT Wildlife Control has many permanent solutions to your snake problems – give us a call!
