Snake Removal Services for the Albuquerque and Rio Rancho Metro
Snakes are common in the Albuquerque metro, especially in areas near open land, arroyos, and desert landscaping. While most snakes are harmless, some species in the region are venomous. Because misidentification can be dangerous, DIY snake removal is not recommended.
Manzano Pest Management provides professional snake removal for homes and businesses across the Albuquerque and Rio Rancho metro. Our approach focuses on safe removal and prevention. For other wildlife, see our wildlife removal and wildlife exclusion services.

-
Garages and sheds
-
Crawlspaces and basements

Rock walls and woodpiles

Common Snakes in the Region
The Albuquerque metro is home to a range of snakes, including bullsnakes, garter snakes, coachwhips, and venomous species such as rattlesnakes. Proper identification is essential before any removal.
Why DIY Methods Often Fail
DIY snake removal can be dangerous, especially with venomous species. Store-bought repellents rarely work. Professional snake removal uses safe handling and exclusion methods.
What Our Snake Removal Service Includes
Thorough Inspection
We inspect your property to identify snake activity and potential entry points. This includes garages, sheds, crawlspaces, rock walls, and landscaping.
Safe Removal
Treatment depends on the situation. We use safe handling methods to capture and remove snakes from your property.
Exclusion and Prevention
Once the snake is removed, we recommend sealing entry points and reducing conditions that attract snakes, such as woodpiles and debris.
Follow-Up
We schedule follow-ups to confirm snakes have been removed and to recommend prevention steps.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if a snake is venomous?
Proper identification requires training. Do not approach or handle a snake yourself. Contact us for safe identification and removal.
Why are snakes in my garage?
Garages provide shelter, warmth, and hiding spots. Snakes often enter through gaps under doors or foundation cracks. Exclusion and debris removal help prevent this.
Can snakes come back after removal?
Yes, if entry points and attractants are not addressed. Our prevention recommendations help reduce the risk of snakes returning.
Do you remove snakes from inside homes?
Yes. We safely remove snakes from garages, crawlspaces, basements, and living areas.
