Snake Removal in Denver
Snake activity can be unsettling, even though snakes play an important role in Colorado’s ecosystem. Whether it’s a serious fear or a simple desire to keep wildlife out of your living space, professional help may be needed. That's where Whitmore comes in! If a snake has entered your house, our technicians can safely remove it and help identify how it got inside. However, we do not provide snake removal for snakes found outdoors, in yards, or elsewhere on the property.
Colorado is home to many snake species, most of them nonvenomous. Our snake removal in Denver handles:
- Garden snakes

- Massasaugas
If you’re unsure what kind of snake you’re seeing or don’t feel comfortable handling the situation yourself, our trained technicians can safely identify and remove interior snakes while helping prevent future entry—so you can get back to feeling comfortable in your home.

Things to Remember
- Snakes are an important part of Colorado’s ecosystem, and most of them are entirely harmless.
- Our goal is to control snake populations on your property by limiting their food sources and prime habitat.
- We cannot completely eliminate the possibility of their presence on the exterior of your home, but we can work to prevent them from entering your living space.
- If you or your household is in danger of a rattlesnake strike, it is legal and appropriate to kill the snake. Be sure to seek immediate medical attention if you have been bitten!
Tips for Snake Prevention
The best way to avoid snake activity on your property is to minimize food sources and prime habitat. Listed below are a few key principles.
- Make Modifications to Limit Snake Habitat on Your Property:
- Keep all grass, including field grass, mowed – especially in rural areas where rattlesnakes are present.
- Keep shrubs trimmed or remove them.
- Keep wood stacked in an enclosed structure or box.
- Avoid bush piles or stacks of unused lumber where snakes can hide.
- Minimize the use of large rocks in landscaping, as snakes like to “sun” themselves.
- Avoid rock beds or landscape walls with “dead space.” This is usually created when rock beds/walls are made with larger rocks or boulders, where a void is created between rocks.
- Repair Possible Snake Entry Points:
- Keep all window wells covered.
- Repair any openings under porches or patios where snakes can hide.
- Make sure garage door seals and entry door seals are working properly.
- Make sure all vents and utility inlets are properly sealed on the exterior of your home.
- Minimize Snake Food Sources on Your Property:
- Schedule regular insect maintenance along the exterior perimeter of your home.
- Schedule regular rodent maintenance to control rodent populations that might attract snakes.
