Services & Pricing
Transparent, professional wildlife control services across the Greater Chattanooga Area. From same-day emergency extraction to long-term prevention — Barbara Quinn handles it all.
Emergency Snake Extraction
A snake in your home, garage, or directly around your family is an urgent situation that requires a calm, expert response. Barbara Quinn provides priority emergency extraction for residential and commercial clients throughout Hamilton County and the surrounding region.
She uses professional-grade hooks, tubes, and tongs to safely restrain and remove snakes — whether venomous or not — without harm to the animal or your property.
- Residential and commercial properties
- Venomous and non-venomous snakes
- Interior rooms, attics, crawl spaces, garages
- Safe relocation to natural habitat post-extraction
- 7-day availability including evenings
Extraction Pricing
Prices are estimates. Final fee depends on snake species, location on property, and complexity of access. You'll always get a clear quote before work begins.
Inspection Pricing
Inspection fees are often applied toward exclusion service costs. Ask Barbara about bundled service discounts when you book.
Property Inspection & Vulnerability Assessment
Most repeat snake problems stem from conditions around the property that attract snakes — prey (rodents, frogs, insects), shelter (wood piles, rock walls, thick ground cover), and entry points into structures.
Barbara conducts a thorough walk-through of your property, identifying all of these factors and delivering a written report with specific, actionable recommendations.
- Full perimeter inspection of structure and yard
- Identification of all potential entry points
- Habitat modification recommendations
- Written assessment report provided
- Ideal for new homeowners and repeat-encounter properties
Snake Proofing & Exclusion Services
The most effective long-term solution to recurring snake problems is exclusion — physically sealing the ways snakes enter your home and property. Barbara installs industry-standard barriers and materials that stop snakes at the source.
Unlike pest control companies that rely on chemicals (which don't work on snakes), exclusion is the only method with proven, lasting results.
- Foundation gap sealing with professional materials
- Hardware cloth and snake-proof mesh installation
- Door sweeps, vent covers, and crawl space barriers
- Yard perimeter fencing options for high-risk areas
- Follow-up check included 30 days after installation
Exclusion Pricing
Exclusion pricing varies by property size and scope. Barbara will provide a free written quote after the initial inspection.
Consultation Pricing
Barbara will often provide a free photo identification via text message for routine inquiries. Send a clear photo to (804) 840-0464 and she'll respond as quickly as possible.
Venomous vs. Non-Venomous Identification
Worried about a snake you spotted but can't identify? Misidentification is extremely common — even experienced outdoors people confuse harmless species for venomous ones and vice versa. Getting it right matters for both your safety and the snake's.
Barbara offers quick photo identification via text message at no charge for most situations, with in-person consultations available for a small fee when a definitive answer is needed.
- Free photo ID by text — fast response time
- Expert in all Tennessee and North Georgia species
- Behavioral context assessment included
- Guidance on next steps after identification
- On-site visit available for confirmed emergency situations

Barbara Arrives & Assesses
Barbara dispatches promptly for emergency calls. On arrival she'll locate the snake, assess the situation, and present a clear written quote before touching anything.
Safe Extraction & Identification
Using professional tools, the snake is humanely captured. Barbara identifies the species, explains what it is, and answers your questions so you feel informed, not just relieved.
Relocation to Natural Habitat
Every snake is transported and released at an appropriate natural site well away from residential areas — where it can live without threatening people or pets.
Prevention Plan (Optional)
Barbara can walk the property after extraction to recommend exclusion measures and habitat changes that reduce the chance of repeat encounters.
