Snake Removal Process

1. Same-Day or Emergency Response Snake calls are treated as priority. We respond quickly because snakes can move fast and hide in tight spaces.
2. Safe Capture We use snake hooks and tongs to safely capture the snake without harming it or putting ourselves at risk. No snake is killed unnecessarily — even venomous species are relocated when possible.
3. Property Inspection We identify what's attracting snakes to your property: rodent activity (snakes follow prey), debris piles, foundation gaps, or moisture issues.
4. Exclusion and Prevention For repeat snake problems, we seal foundation gaps, install snake-proof barriers, and recommend habitat modifications.

What to Do If You Find a Snake

• Stay calm and back away — most bites happen when people try to handle or kill snakes
• Keep children and pets away
• Do not try to catch or kill it — even a dead snake's reflexes can cause a bite
• Note the location — which room, which area of yard
• Call Critter Wrangler: (512) 785-6226

Why Snakes Come to Your Property

Snakes follow food. If you have a snake problem, you likely also have a rodent problem. Solving a snake problem long-term means addressing the underlying attractants — rodents, frogs, lizards, and harborage areas like wood piles and rock walls.

Snake Activity Hotspots in Georgetown, TX

Central Texas has one of the highest snake diversities in the U.S., and Georgetown sits in the middle of prime habitat. Common areas for snake encounters in Williamson County:

• San Gabriel River and creek corridors — water attracts frogs and small rodents, which attract snakes. Water moccasins (cottonmouths) are occasionally found near the river; copperheads are common in rocky riparian habitat.
• Inner Space Cavern / I-35 hillsides — the limestone terrain and cedar-oak habitat along the highway corridor is prime Texas rat snake and copperhead territory
• Blue Hole Regional Park area — the creek and surrounding vegetation create high snake diversity; western diamondback rattlesnakes have been documented in this area
• Sun City Georgetown — the community's backing up to open Hill Country terrain means regular snake encounters, particularly in spring and fall when snakes are most mobile
• Georgetown Lake / Cedar Breaks Park — lakeside properties with rocky shorelines see consistent water moccasin and copperhead activity
