Case Study: Emergency Copperhead Snake Removal in Carrboro, NC

Location: Carrboro, North Carolina

Situation: Copperhead snake blocking homeowner’s backdoor entry

Response Time: 15–20 minutes

Species: Copperhead (venomous)

Overview:Early one evening, I received an urgent call from a Carrboro resident who had discovered a copperhead snake resting directly outside his backdoor. The snake’s position made it impossible for the homeowner to safely enter his home.

When he called, I picked up the phone immediately. He asked whether there were any free city or county services that would handle snake removal. I explained that while some municipalities may handle wildlife under certain conditions, venomous snake removal is generally not offered as a free public service. I also made it clear that I run a licensed, professional business and that there is a fee for my services.

After understanding the situation and confirming that he wanted the snake removed, I headed to his property. Within 15–20 minutes of his call, I arrived on site, safely located and removed the copperhead snake.

Results:The homeowner was able to safely enter his home shortly after my arrival. The copperhead was removed without harm to people, pets, or the animal itself. This quick response likely prevented a potentially dangerous encounter and demonstrates the importance of having a reliable, local wildlife control professional on call.
