Snake Removal in Spring, Texas

If a snake turns up in a Spring garage, yard, flower bed or house, keep everyone back, watch where it goes from a distance and call Michael Gerbino of Cypress Critters & Pests at 713-775-8799. He removes the snake himself, then looks for what drew it to the house. In Spring that is usually a mix of rodents, ground cover and a nearby stretch of creek or woods.

Why do snakes show up at Spring homes?

Spring Creek and its greenway form a long green strip between Harris and Montgomery counties, and the frogs, mice and lizards that live along it are snake food. Yards that back onto the creek, its trails or a wooded lot are the most likely to have a snake wander in. Once it is there, a snake wants two things: something to eat and a cool, hidden place to rest. A Spring yard that offers both will keep getting visits.

Here is what usually draws a snake to a Spring house, and what change helps.

Is the snake in my Spring yard dangerous?

It may or may not be. Texas Parks and Wildlife says only some of the state’s snakes are potentially dangerous to people, and the venomous groups it lists are copperheads, cottonmouths, rattlesnakes and the coral snake. In shade or partly hidden, colors and patterns are hard to read, and a harmless snake can look a lot like a venomous one. Michael’s advice is simple: do not try to sort it out up close, and treat it as dangerous until he has seen it. Texas Parks and Wildlife also asks people not to kill snakes, even venomous ones, and trying to is how many people end up within striking range. If anyone is bitten, call 911.

How Michael handles it here

He removes the snake with the right tools while everyone stays back. Then he looks for the reason it came: rodent signs in the garage or attic, cover against the house, and the gap it slipped through. Taking away one snake does not change any of that, and the next one will find the same way in. So Michael pairs removal with animal exclusion, sealing door gaps, vent screens and A/C line chases with metal and hardware cloth, and closing the space under decks and sheds. The full service is on the snake removal page.

What goes into the quote?

One snake in plain view on a porch is a short job. A garage with mice, worn seals and a cluttered back wall is a bigger one. Michael quotes after he has seen where the snake is and how it got there, and the number depends on whether the work stops at removal or goes on to sealing gaps, closing off space under a deck or shed, and clearing out rodents.
