Copperheads are a prime example of this, and they\u2019re one of the most common venomous snakes in North America. Copperheads don\u2019t usually kill people with their bite, but their venom is still dangerous (and potentially lethal). That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to get rid of them if you see one on your property. If you want to get rid of copperhead snakes, you can start by trapping them with a snake trap and moving them to a more remote area.<\/p>\n<p>However, if trying to get rid of copperhead snakes on your own becomes too challenging, I recommend contacting some of <a href=\"https:\/\/todayshomeowner.com\/pest-control\/reviews\/best-pest-control\/\">the best pest control companies<\/a> in the industry, like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/todayshomeowner.com\/pest-control\/reviews\/orkin-reviews\/\">Orkin<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/todayshomeowner.com\/pest-control\/reviews\/terminix-reviews\/\">Terminix<\/a>, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/todayshomeowner.com\/pest-control\/reviews\/aptive-environmental\/\">Aptive<\/a>. While these companies are better known for their insect treatment, they also offer animal removal services. Dealing with snakes can be dangerous, so when in doubt, leave the dirty work to professional snake catchers.

href=\"https:\/\/www.poison.org\/articles\/copperhead-snakes\">According to the National Capital Poison Center<\/a>, copperhead snakes are venomous, but serious side effects from bites are uncommon. Their bites are painful but rarely fatal. This means that while copperheads are dangerous, they\u2019re not one of <a href=\"https:\/\/todayshomeowner.com\/pest-control\/guides\/top-10-most-dangerous-snakes\/\">the most dangerous snakes in the world<\/a>. Still, copperhead snakes are extremely common in the United States and account for around <a href=\"https:\/\/wsed.org\/seriousness-of-copperhead-envenomations\/\">65% of all snake envenomations<\/a>, so they\u2019re worth avoiding.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where Do Copperhead Snakes Live?<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nationalzoo.si.edu\/animals\/northern-copperhead\">According to the Smithsonian\u2019s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute<\/a>, northern copperheads primarily live in the southeastern United States. However, they have a very wide range, from Florida\u2019s southern coast up to Massachusetts and all the way west to Nebraska.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-get-rid-of-copperhead-snakes\">How To Get Rid of Copperhead Snakes<\/h2>\n<p>Dealing with snakes is inherently risky, and if you plan on removing copperhead snakes yourself, you should take precautions. Read our <a href=\"https:\/\/todayshomeowner.com\/pest-control\/guides\/how-get-rid-of-snakes\/\">snake safety guide<\/a> to learn more about how to interact with snakes in a safe way. Snake removal isn\u2019t for the faint of heart, so don\u2019t hesitate to reach out to a pest control expert if you lack experience.<\/p>\n<p>Before you get started with removing the snake, you\u2019ll want to inspect it for yourself and make sure that it\u2019s actually a copperhead.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-inspection\">Inspection<\/h3>\n<div class=\"gb-grid-wrapper gb-grid-wrapper-4bb09a67\">\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-e90a68cb\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-e90a68cb\">\n<p>The first place to look for snake activity is under porches, patios, and crawl spaces.

For example, by removing any plywood, mulch, and other hiding places in your yard, it may seek cover elsewhere. While this may not be effective, it\u2019s the easiest method for getting rid of copperhead snakes, so it\u2019s worth a try.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-spray-it-with-a-hose\">Spray It With a Hose<\/h3>\n<p>Another technique for getting rid of snakes is to use a garden hose to gently encourage the snake to leave. By aiming a steady stream of water toward the animal, it may decide to move off. Just be sure to use low pressure to avoid injuring (or aggravating) the snake.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-snake-traps\">Catch It With a Snake Trap<\/h3>\n<p>While snake traps aren\u2019t a very well-known method for pest control, they can still be effective. For example, glue traps can sometimes work to catch a wayward snake. However, don\u2019t attempt to use mouse glue boards since they\u2019re much too flimsy for snake removal.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, use one of <a href=\"https:\/\/todayshomeowner.com\/pest-control\/reviews\/best-snake-traps\/\">the best snake traps<\/a> on the market. They have a deeper adhesive base and will hold up well to most snake species.

If you want to keep copperheads away from your property, here are a few simple things you can do to stop them from moving in.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cut off Food Sources<\/h3>\n<p>Just like most common yard pests, snakes move onto your property in search of food. Adult copperhead snakes eat mostly vertebrate animals, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Frogs<\/li>\n<li>Birds<\/li>\n<li>Squirrels<\/li>\n<li>Mice<\/li>\n<li>Rats<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Young copperhead snakes, on the other hand, prefer invertebrates, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cicadas<\/li>\n<li>Spiders<\/li>\n<li>Grasshoppers<\/li>\n<li>Beetles<\/li>\n<li>Millipedes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are all common pests that most exterminators treat regularly. To limit the copperhead\u2019s food source, it\u2019s helpful to schedule regular pest control visits at least quarterly.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Limit Hiding Spots<\/h3>\n<p>Copperhead snakes may wander into your yard in search of a place to hide from predators. These snakes love hiding out in piles of leaves and mulch, so it\u2019s best not to leave debris lying around. Copperheads will also hide under stacks of wood, so it\u2019s good to keep woodpiles stacked tightly and away from your house. The same goes for lumber and other building materials as well.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, snakes love marshy environments, so yards with overgrown weeds, tall grass, and standing water are like magnets to copperheads. For that reason, it\u2019s best to keep vegetation low and repair outdoor plumbing leaks.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Seal Openings Under Your House<\/h3>\n<p>During the summer months, snakes tend to slither into crawl spaces to keep cool. They can also find their way under your deck or porch when it turns cold outside to shelter from snow. To prevent copperhead snakes from getting under your house, you\u2019ll have to seal off any crevices they could fit through.<\/p>\n<p>To close off entry points to areas under your home, use tight wire mesh. Firmly attach it to your deck or porch with screws and press it flush with the ground to make sure that snakes can\u2019t slither through it. For smaller cracks in concrete, use expansion foam.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use Snake Repellants<\/h3>\n<p>Some of <a href=\"https:\/\/todayshomeowner.com\/pest-control\/reviews\/best-snake-repellents\/\">the best snake repellents<\/a>\u00a0use chemicals or essential oils to drive snakes away. Some of the most effective natural repellants are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cinnamon oil<\/li>\n<li>Peppermint oil<\/li>\n<li>Lemongrass<\/li>\n<li>Marigold<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Snake repellents, whether made from natural or chemical ingredients, have little scientific backing to support their efficacy. However, some users claim that they work, so they are at least worth a try.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-identify-copperhead-snakes\">How To Identify Copperhead Snakes<\/h2>\n<p>Copperheads have plenty of unique features, but to the untrained eye, they could be hard to recognize. The average adult copperhead snake is two to three feet long. These snakes have a pinkish tint with a copper-colored head, hence their name. <\/p>\n<p>Copperheads display various crossbands on their scales, ranging from dark brown to red. They also have a unique hourglass shape to the color pattern on their back, which can help distinguish them from other snakes. <\/p>\n<p>However, copperheads are commonly confused with rattlesnakes and cottonmouth snakes (also known as water moccasins) because of their light brown color. All three snakes are part of the Crotalinae family of pit vipers.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"gb-block-image gb-block-image-f56fd66c\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" class=\"gb-image gb-image-f56fd66c lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"copperhead snake\" title=\"copperhead snake\" data-lazy-data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/d7fcfvvxwoz9e.cloudfront.net\/dom43635\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/blog-image-template-7.png 800w, https:\/\/d7fcfvvxwoz9e.cloudfront.net\/dom43635\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/blog-image-template-7-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/d7fcfvvxwoz9e.cloudfront.net\/dom43635\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/blog-image-template-7-768x480.png 768w\" data-lazy-data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/d7fcfvvxwoz9e.cloudfront.net\/dom43635\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/blog-image-template-7.png\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" class=\"gb-image gb-image-f56fd66c lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/d7fcfvvxwoz9e.cloudfront.net\/dom43635\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/blog-image-template-7.png\" alt=\"copperhead snake\" title=\"copperhead snake\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/d7fcfvvxwoz9e.cloudfront.net\/dom43635\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/blog-image-template-7.png 800w, https:\/\/d7fcfvvxwoz9e.cloudfront.net\/dom43635\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/blog-image-template-7-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/d7fcfvvxwoz9e.cloudfront.net\/dom43635\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/blog-image-template-7-768x480.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-b59e9802 gb-headline-text\">Canva<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-signs-amp-causes-of-a-copperhead-snake-infestation\">Causes of a Copperhead Snake Infestation<\/h2>\n<p>Like most <a href=\"https:\/\/todayshomeowner.com\/pest-control\/video\/how-to-control-common-pests-in-your-yard\/\">common yard pests<\/a>, copperhead snakes wander onto your property in search of food and shelter. Copperheads will seek out places to hide, such as leaf and mulch piles in your yard.

They aren\u2019t known for spending a lot of time in the water, but even so, they\u2019re surprisingly great swimmers. Copperheads typically swim at the surface of the water with their heads raised.
