Free Rattlesnake Removal for Poway

Please Consider a Tip.  Never required, but a small donation is greatly appreciated.  Even a few dollars go a long way to help offset the cost of running this volunteer service.


Trapper Pat has to drop his day job as a handyman to rescue snakes.  He offers this service at the cost of his normal salary.

How Tips Keep It Free

Removal

Got a snake in your house or yard that's a threat? We'll remove it using safe and humane techniques. In addition to relieving yourself of the snake, it gives us the opportunity to study it and further our conservation efforts.

Local Rattlesnake

No Charge

Snake removal in Poway is always free.  Free service is for the 92064-zip code.

Local Non-Venomous

$40

For Poway Only: We prefer to not capture non-venomous snakes, as there is no danger to people.  These snakes are good to have around and taking them will affect the ecosystem.  Additionally, these removals disrupt the overwhelming amount of rattlesnake calls we get.  If you cannot stand snakes and have to have to removed, we charge a nominal fee based on our current backlog of pending rattlesnake calls.

Other Locations

$80-$120

All other areas in San Diego County have a nominal fee for snake removal service.  This fee is used to recover the cost in gasoline it takes to drive to snake calls.  It also offsets the wages Trapper Pat loses when he drops his day job to get a snake.  The farther away from Poway, the higher fee.  Please call to get a more accurate price.


Prevention

We'll come to your house and show you ways you can make your property inhospitable for rattlesnakes. This will help to discourage them from coming back and they'll find more attractive places to stay. As a bonus, you'll get a small lecture about the local vegetation and animal life included.

Local Consultation

$100

On site snake consultation for Poway, Rancho Bernardo, Carmel Mountain, Saber Springs, and Scripps Ranch is $100 per consultation. The consultation usually last approximately one hour.  This is a flat fee and does not prorate if the consultation is under or over one hour. 

All Other Locations

$100-$200

All other San Diego locations will get the same on-site consultation service but with an additional cost.  This cost is used to offset the price of gasoline.  Price ranges based on distance from Poway.  Please ask for a more accurate quote.

Rattle Rescue currently offers removal services and prevention consultation services. As Rattle Rescue expands, future services will include in person education seminars on safety, prevention, coexisting, and advanced studies of rattlesnakes.
