Property Snake Inspections

It's a terrible feeling to suspect you have a snake problem when you haven't actually been able to spot one yet. We offer comprehensive, top-to-bottom property inspections throughout Mooresville to give homeowners the definitive answers and peace of mind they deserve.

When Should You Schedule an Inspection?

You don't need to be staring at a live copperhead in your living room to call us (that is a job for copperhead removal). NC Wildlife calls the copperhead the most common and widespread venomous snake in the state, so a snake you suspect but cannot confirm is worth checking. You should consider a professional snake inspection if:

• You found a shed snake skin: Snakes shed their skin multiple times a year. If you find a shed skin in your garage, attic, or crawlspace, it means a snake was there (and might still be).
• You notice unexplained droppings: Snake droppings can sometimes be mistaken for bird or rodent droppings, but they often contain bones or hair from their prey.
• You have a known rodent problem: Where there are mice, snakes will follow. If you hear scratching in your walls, it's worth having an inspector look for both rodents and their reptilian predators.
• You just bought a new home: Before letting your kids or pets play in a new, overgrown yard or an unsealed crawlspace, an inspection provides peace of mind.

What Does an Inspection Include?

Our Mooresville snake inspections are incredibly thorough. We don't just look for snakes; we look for the conditions that invite them.

1. Interior Check: We inspect basements, attics, and garages, the most common indoor hiding spots. We use high-powered flashlights to check behind appliances, water heaters, and storage boxes.
2. Crawlspace & Foundation Review: We physically enter the crawlspace to check for live snakes, shed skins, and rodent nests. We also inspect every foundation vent for tears or gaps.
3. Yard and Perimeter Sweep: We walk your property line, checking common hiding spots like wood piles, thick brush, retaining walls, and under decks.
4. Identification of Findings: If we find a shed skin, our experts can often identify the species of snake it belonged to, which helps us understand the threat level.

Detailed Reporting and Next Steps

After the inspection, Mooresville Snake Removal gives you a clear, honest assessment. If we find a live snake, we can remove it immediately. If we find vulnerabilities, we will provide a detailed quote for exclusion and sealing services to secure your home. And if your home is perfectly safe, we'll give you the all-clear!
