Snake Removal & Control in Indiana

Indiana is home to 33 snake species, of which only 4 are venomous: the timber rattlesnake, massasauga rattlesnake, copperhead, and cottonmouth. The vast majority of snakes encountered in Indiana are harmless and actually beneficial, controlling rodent populations. However, snakes entering homes, garages, or crawl spaces are a common nuisance concern. Snakes typically enter buildings in search of rodent prey or to find warm overwintering sites. Licensed wildlife control operators can safely remove snakes from structures and can inspect for and seal rodent entry points that attract snakes. Never attempt to handle a snake you cannot positively identify as non-venomous — contact a licensed operator instead.
