Snake Removal and Snake Control is a very common call that Animal Control Solutions receives throughout spring, summer and fall. Snake activities tend to die down in Alexandria and the surrounding areas in the wintertime.
Many non-poisonous snakes are mistaken for venomous snakes since they can look almost identical to the poisonous snakes found throughout Alexandria. Most of our customers report seeing a copperhead looking snake near there home ,however, we have found that on most occasions, the snake will either be a rat snake or one of several garden-variety snakes that can be found throughout Alexandria.
It is always recommended that you should always have someone that is trained to handle snakes remove the snake from your property. Most snake bite injuries are due to people handling snakes without being trained on how to tell if the snake is poisonous.
The copperhead is the most common venous snake found throughout Alexandria and the surrounding areas.
