Snake Removal in Durham Region – Professional Wildlife Handling

There has been one death reported in Ontario due to the bite of an Easton Massasauga snake. In Ontario, snakes are protected under the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act. We capture them safely and humanely and relocate them to an area where they can continue to live a natural life. Snakes should always be approached and dealt with after seeking professional help, especially when you’re unsure about the species you’re facing.

Handling any pest issue—especially one as serious as snakes—should always begin with identifying the species. If you suspect you have a venomous snake in your yard, you should not try to manage the snake on your own under any circumstances. But depending on your region, you might be dealing with a long list of non-venomous snakes that are commonly found lurking in bushes, leaf piles, or storage areas.
