While not all snakes are venomous, nearly all of them are still unwelcome guests in yards and within homes. If snakes have become a problem on or around your property, follow these simple steps to getting rid of them quickly and easily.
To prevent snakes from making a home of your yard, it is necessary to eliminate food sources and habitat areas within your property.First, be sure to remove all excess debris and brush piles from your yard. Many homeowners stash unwanted brush or firewood in a corner of their backyards. While this may seem like a convenient place to store this type of plant material, it is also a prime habitat for a variety of snakes. If snakes have nowhere to hide, they will head elsewhere for shelter.
Secondly, take measures to keep mice, rats, and other small pests away from your home and yard. These creatures are not only a nuisance to you and your family, but also serve as an excellent source of food for snakes of all kinds. Even if a snake does not choose your yard as a home, it may be tempted onto your property by a consistent supply of mice and insects. Use a lawn-friendly insecticide and rat poison, taking care to avoid using it in an area in which pets are present.
Utilize expert landscaping techniques to avoid offering unintentional shelter to a variety of snakes, both poisonous and non-venomous. Try snake traps around the perimeter of your house.Overgrown bushes and shrubbery provide a perfect hiding place and home for snakes. Rocks and retaining walls used as decorative elements in a garden may also present a problem if snakes are present, offering a cool place to escape the sun. Keep your bushes trimmed and your garden thoroughly weeded to avoid unwanted snake infestation.
If the aforementioned methods fail to eradicate snakes in and around your area, invest in some inexpensive snake trapping devices. These traps are humane and provide an easy and effective way to remove snakes without harming them. Animal control services in your area can provide you with safety information regarding snake handling and will even come out to your residence to help in the disposal of dangerous snakes.
