Urgent Snake Extraction
When help is needed now, Slither Me Timbers provides priority extraction for residential and commercial clients throughout Hamilton County and the surrounding region.
We bring the necessary materials for the most common situations we’re likely to encounter, including first aid to respond appropriately in the event an animal is injured or trapped/caught up in something, and as a result, in need of a ride to the nearest wildlife facility. We’ll walk you through the steps you can safely take whilst waiting on our team to arrive.
- Residential and commercial properties
- Venomous and non-venomous snakes
- Interior rooms, attics, crawl spaces, garages
- Safe release to natural habitat post-extraction
- 7-day availability including evenings
Extraction Pricing
Prices are estimates. Final fee comprised of factors such as snake species (venomous or non), location, and complexity of access. You'll receive clear communication from the get-go.
Inspection Pricing
Ask Barbara about bundled service discounts, and long-term service plans at set intervals when you book.
Property Inspection & Vulnerability Assessment
Repeat snake visits stem from conditions around the property that attract them — prey (rodents, frogs, insects), shelter (wood piles, rock walls, thick ground cover), and entry points into structures. They thrive in overgrown areas where vegetation provides cover, and are found in areas that one would also expect to find their prey. Bird feeders, animal food left outdoors overnight, and similar conditions are going to attract prey, which in turn will naturally attract their predators. Since snake repellents are ineffective, if you have the right conditions, you’ll want to expect the occasional snake encounter.
We conduct a thorough walk-through of your property, identifying all risk/vulnerability factors and delivering a report with specific, actionable recommendations.
- Full perimeter inspection of structure and surrounding perimeter
- Identification of potential entry points
- Habitat modification recommendations
- Written assessment report provided
- Ideal for new homeowners and repeat-encounter properties
Snake Proofing & Exclusion Consultation
The most effective long-term solution to recurring snake problems is exclusion — physically sealing the ways snakes (most importantly, their prey), enter your home and property. We are happy offer consultation and resources. There is no fee for this service, it’s simply how we build lasting relationships with clients and neighbors.
Unlike pest control companies that rely on chemicals (which don't work on snakes), exclusion is the only method with proven, lasting results.
- Foundation gap sealing with professional materials to cover small points of entry
- Hardware cloth and snake-proof mesh installation
- Door sweeps, vent covers, and crawl space barriers
- Yard perimeter fencing options for high-risk areas
- Follow-up check included 30 days after your installation
Exclusion Pricing
Exclusion pricing varies by company, property size and scope. We will provide a written report with company recommendations (if requested) after inspection.
