Why Snakes Move Into Homes and Yards Like Yours
Snakes usually show up because your property gives them easy access to food, shelter, or a way inside.
Here are some of the most common reasons they may be hanging around:
Rodents and Other Prey Around the Property
Mice, insects, frogs, and other small animals can attract snakes by giving them a reliable food source close to your home.
Shelter in Basements, Crawl Spaces, Sheds, and Garages
Dark, quiet spaces like basements, crawl spaces, sheds, and garages give snakes a protected place to hide from heat, cold, and predators.
Gaps Around Foundations, Doors, and Utility Openings
Small openings around your foundation, doorways, vents, and utility lines can give snakes an easy path into your home.
Venomous and Nonvenomous Snakes in New Jersey
Most snakes you’ll encounter in New Jersey are nonvenomous, but it’s best to keep your distance until the species has been identified.
Our team follows state wildlife guidelines to make sure every snake is handled humanely while keeping your family safe.
Why Most Reported Venomous Snakes Are Misidentified
New Jersey Fish & Wildlife reports that 9 out of 10 snakes reported as venomous are actually nonvenomous species. That’s why it’s safer to avoid handling the snake yourself and let a trained professional identify it first.
Eastern Copperheads and Timber Rattlesnakes
New Jersey has two native venomous snake species:
- Eastern copperhead — found mainly in parts of northern and central New Jersey
- Timber rattlesnake — found in limited areas of the state, including parts of the Pine Barrens in South Jersey
Both species are uncommon, and sightings should be handled with extra caution.
Protected Species and the Proper Response
New Jersey’s native snakes are protected, so our snake removal team follows state rules and species-specific guidance during the removal process. Our goal is to protect your property and your family while treating the animal humanely.

Questions Homeowners Ask After Finding a Snake
Are there venomous snakes in South Jersey?
Yes, but encounters are uncommon. Timber rattlesnakes can be found in parts of South Jersey, so it’s best to keep your distance until the snake is properly identified.
What should I do if the snake disappears inside my home?
Close off the area if you can do so safely, keep children and pets away, and avoid reaching into tight spaces where the snake may be hiding.
How do snakes get into basements and crawl spaces?
Snakes can slip through small gaps around foundations, doors, vents, utility lines, and other openings that lead into sheltered areas.
Will removing one snake prevent others from entering?
Not necessarily. If food sources, hiding spots, or entry points are still present, other snakes can find their way onto your property. That’s why we use long-term prevention and exclusion strategies to keep snakes out for good.
Can UFO seal the openings snakes may be using?
Yes. We can inspect your home for vulnerable areas and seal the openings snakes may be using to get inside.
