Green Hills sits in the heart of Nashville, but its mature tree canopy, wooded ravines, and proximity to Radnor Lake State Natural Area make it one of the most snake-active urban neighborhoods in the city. Radnor Lake and its surrounding buffer create a wildlife corridor that brings copperheads, rat snakes, and occasionally cottonmouths directly into Green Hills backyards, gardens, and even homes.

Copperhead

Venomous snake on your property? Our emergency line is answered 24/7 — we prioritize these calls.
Snake inside your Green Hills home?
Snakes found indoors — in attics, crawlspaces, and basements — require a different approach than yard removal. We locate, remove, and seal every entry point.
Snake in the attic in Green Hills, TN?
Green Hills' mature tree canopy and large homes with complex rooflines create ideal conditions for Black Rat Snakes to access attics — overhanging branches provide direct routes to roofline vents, and the Radnor Lake wildlife corridor keeps snake pressure elevated year-round. Large Green Hills homes often have extensive attic space with multiple vent penetrations, giving snakes drawn by rodent activity numerous entry options. If you find a snake or shed skin in your attic, call us right away.
What kind of snake gets into attics in Green Hills, TN?
The Black Rat Snake is the most common attic intruder in Green Hills. These large, agile climbers are drawn by the mice and rats that nest in attic insulation, and the neighborhood's mature trees provide direct access to rooflines. The Radnor Lake wildlife corridor keeps rat snake populations high throughout the area.
Is a snake in my attic dangerous in Green Hills?
Black Rat Snakes are non-venomous, but their presence in your attic means there is an open entry point that could also admit copperheads — which are common in Green Hills near Radnor Lake. We remove the snake and perform a thorough exclusion inspection to seal every gap in your roofline.
How do I get a snake out of my attic in Green Hills, TN?
Do not attempt to remove the snake yourself. Call Nashville Snake Removal at (615) 613-5992. We locate the snake, remove it safely, inspect for eggs, and seal every entry point so it cannot return.
Snake in the crawlspace in Green Hills, TN?
Green Hills' wooded lots and proximity to Radnor Lake create consistently moist soil conditions that make crawlspaces under older Nashville homes attractive to Black Rat Snakes and copperheads moving through the Radnor Lake corridor. Many older Green Hills homes have crawlspace access issues — deteriorated screens, open foundation vents, and gaps around utility penetrations — that snakes exploit readily. Once in the crawlspace, they can move through floor joists and pipe gaps into the living area above.
Why do snakes get into crawlspaces in Green Hills, TN?
Green Hills crawlspaces offer snakes shelter, moisture, and access to rodents — all amplified by the Radnor Lake wildlife corridor that runs directly through the neighborhood. Older Nashville homes in Green Hills frequently have deteriorated foundation vents and crawlspace screens, and the wooded lot moisture keeps conditions ideal for both rat snakes and copperheads year-round.
Can a snake in my crawlspace get into my house?
Yes. Snakes in crawlspaces can move through gaps around pipes, HVAC ducts, and floor joists into the living space above. If you hear movement under your floor or find a shed skin in your crawlspace, call us immediately.
How do I get a snake out of my crawlspace in Green Hills, TN?
Call Nashville Snake Removal at (615) 613-5992. We enter the crawlspace, locate and remove the snake, check for shed skins and eggs, and seal all entry points to prevent re-entry.
Snake in your yard in Green Hills, TN?
Green Hills sits directly adjacent to Radnor Lake State Natural Area, and the wildlife corridor it creates brings copperheads, rat snakes, and other species into neighborhood yards on a regular basis — particularly in properties with mature landscaping, leaf litter, rock walls, and dense mulch beds that provide ideal hiding cover. Copperheads are the primary venomous concern in Green Hills yards, thriving in the leaf litter and ornamental plantings common to the neighborhood's older properties. If you find a snake in your yard, keep people and pets away and call a professional.
What kind of snakes are found in yards in Green Hills, TN?
The most common yard snakes in Green Hills are the Copperhead (mulch beds, rock walls, leaf litter — especially near Radnor Lake), Black Rat Snake, Eastern Kingsnake, and Eastern Garter Snake. The Radnor Lake wildlife corridor keeps snake populations elevated throughout the neighborhood year-round.
Is a snake in my yard dangerous in Green Hills?
Most yard snakes in Green Hills are non-venomous, but copperheads are very common in Green Hills yards near Radnor Lake — hiding in mulch beds, rock walls, and leaf litter on mature properties. Any snake you cannot positively identify should be treated as potentially venomous — call a professional.
How do I keep snakes out of my yard in Green Hills, TN?
Reduce habitat by clearing leaf litter regularly, keeping mulch beds thin, removing rock piles, and stacking wood away from the house; eliminate rodent food sources that attract snakes, and seal gaps in fences and foundations. For persistent snake activity on Radnor Lake-adjacent properties, professional exclusion is the most reliable solution.
Should I call a professional for a snake in my yard in Green Hills?
Yes — if you cannot positively identify the snake as non-venomous, call Nashville Snake Removal at (615) 613-5992. We respond same-day, safely remove the snake, and advise on habitat modifications to reduce future activity.
