Texas is home to four venomous snake species (copperheads, cottonmouths/water moccasins, western diamondback rattlesnakes, and western pygmy rattlesnakes), plus dozens of harmless varieties. When snakes appear near your home, yard, pool, or barn, Lone Star Wildlife responds fast with safe identification and professional removal.

We strongly advise against attempting to kill snakes yourself. Many non-venomous species provide free pest control by eating rodents. Even venomous snakes rarely bite unless threatened or stepped on. Let us identify and relocate the animal safely instead.
Snakes follow their food source: primarily rodents (mice, rats, voles, gophers), but also insects, amphibians, and bird eggs. Reducing rodent populations, eliminating debris piles and tall grass harborage, and securing chicken coops significantly reduces snake attraction.
