Rattlesnake removal: why you should never handle one yourself
Rattlesnake removal should always be left to a professional because rattlesnakes are venomous. Most bites happen when people try to handle or kill a snake.
Even a snake that looks dead can still bite. Keep away, keep pets away, and call us.
Common snakes around San Mateo County homes
Most snakes around San Mateo County homes are harmless, such as garter snakes and gopher snakes. They even help by eating rodents.
Rattlesnakes are the venomous one to watch for, especially near hillsides and open space. If you're not sure what kind it is, treat it as a rattlesnake.
Snake removal: how we do it
As a snake catcher, we locate the snake, remove it safely and humanely under our CA Trapper License TP-10631, and check where it was getting in or hiding.
Making your yard less inviting
Snakes go where the food and cover are, so a tidy yard helps:
- Control rodents, the main food that draws snakes. See rodent control.
- Clear woodpiles, rock piles and dense brush near the house.
- Keep grass short around the home.
- Seal gaps under doors, decks and the foundation.

What customers say on Google
"Xpert Rodent & Wildlife was fantastic. They had himself and his guys out inspecting my house the next day. Fixing all the locations that rodents can enter our home. Very personable and very professional. Great work. If I have to will definitely use again."
Chad M.
"I had a serious rodent problem over the holidays and they responded quickly. They found a hole the size of a grapefruit going into the crawl space and sealed up all entry points. They caught four rats that were trapped inside. Trust me, they know what they're doing. I recommend them without reservation."
Janet Wade
