Snake Removal in Dunwoody
Snakes play a vital role in maintaining ecological balance in Georgia, contributing to pest control by preying on rodents and insects. Georgia is home to 46 native snake species, and the vast majority are non-venomous and pose no threat to humans. Six venomous species occur in Georgia: the copperhead, cottonmouth (water moccasin), eastern diamondback rattlesnake, timber rattlesnake, pigmy rattlesnake, and eastern coral snake. Any encounter with a snake can be intimidating, and when in doubt, calling a professional is the right move. In Georgia, all non-venomous snakes are protected by state law (O.C.G.A. § 27-1-28) and it is illegal to kill them. We offer inspection, exclusion, consultation, and a range of products to keep your property snake-free and stress-free.

Why professional snake removal matters in Dunwoody
Dunwoody sits in DeKalb County inside the metro Atlanta Piedmont, where mature oak and hickory canopy, established residential neighborhoods, and the urban-forest interface push wildlife into attics, soffits, and crawlspaces year-round. Older homes with original wood trim and aging soffits are the most common entry points. Copperheads are the most commonly encountered venomous snake around Dunwoody homes, especially in pine straw and leaf litter. Several harmless species also turn up at Dunwoody properties and are protected under Georgia law (O.C.G.A. § 27-1-28).
