Professional Snake Control Across the UAE
Snake sightings in and around UAE properties — especially villas with gardens, compounds, farms and areas near open desert or landscaped parks — are more common than most residents realise. While most UAE snakes are non-venomous, several species can deliver dangerous or fatal bites. Attempting to catch or kill a snake yourself is one of the most common ways people get bitten.
Wipeout Pest Control provides emergency snake removal services and preventive treatments across the UAE. Our technicians are trained in safe snake handling, identification, and habitat management.
Emergency snake sighting? Do this first.
Do not approach the snake. Keep children and pets away. Note the snake's location and, if safe, take a photo from a distance. Call us immediately at +971 50 662 7370. If the snake is inside your home, close the door to that room to contain it, keep everyone away, and wait for our technician.
Snakes Found in the UAE
The UAE is home to over 20 species of snakes, most of which are harmless. However, several are venomous and require immediate professional handling:
Venomous Species
- Arabian Horned Viper — small, sand-coloured, common in desert areas
- Sochurek's Saw-Scaled Viper — dangerous, found across the UAE
- Persian False Horned Viper — found in mountainous areas
- Sea Snakes — encountered near coastal areas
Common Non-Venomous Species
- Sand boas, wolf snakes, sand racers and others
Our trained technicians can identify the species on sight and handle each appropriately.
Our Snake Control Services
Emergency Snake Removal
Fast response to snake sightings — inside homes, in gardens, garages, majlis areas, farms and commercial properties. We safely capture and remove the snake using proper equipment, then release it in a suitable location away from populated areas.
Snake Identification
Not sure what you saw? Send us a photo via WhatsApp and we can often identify the species and advise you on the risk level and next steps.
Property Snake-Proofing
Preventive service to reduce the chance of snakes entering your property:
- Sealing gaps under doors, in walls and around utility entries
- Advising on landscaping changes that discourage snakes (removing hiding spots, controlling rodent populations that attract snakes)
- Physical barriers around pools, play areas and outdoor seating
- Rodent control programs (rodents attract snakes)
Snake Repellent Treatments
Perimeter treatments around villa compounds, farms, warehouses and outdoor areas to deter snakes from entering. Especially valuable for properties near desert areas, wadis and open land.
Where Snake Control Is Most Needed
- Villas with large gardens especially those with rockery, dense planting or water features
- Farms and stables where hay, feed and rodents attract snakes
- Compounds near desert or mountain areas
- Construction sites where ground disturbance uncovers snake habitats
- Warehouses with roller doors and outdoor storage
- Landscaped commercial properties and parks
Frequently Asked Questions
Do not try to catch or kill it — this is when most bites happen. Close the door to the room to contain the snake, keep everyone (especially children and pets) away, and call us immediately. Our technician will handle it safely.
Yes. Snake sightings are one of the situations where we respond as quickly as possible. Call +971 50 662 7370 — we'll dispatch a technician right away depending on availability.
No — most are harmless. However, a snake bite is a medical emergency regardless of species. Even non-venomous bites can cause infection, and if you're wrong about the species the consequences can be serious. Always let a professional handle any snake.
Control rodents (their food source), keep grass short, remove rock piles and debris that provide shelter, seal gaps under doors and around foundations, and consider a professional perimeter treatment. We provide full snake-proofing surveys for high-risk properties.
