Snakes are a fairly common sight for Floridians and we provide expert snake removal so you won’t have to worry about these slithering, long, and scaly creatures. They are often spotted sneaking around backyards scavenging for food and a place to raise their young. Though snakes will normally mind their own business in the wild, they can potentially get hostile and attack those who get too close and provoke them. If you see a snake around your Lakeland home or workplace, the wildlife control professionals at Critter Control® of Lakeland have the proper tools and experience to safely remove them from your property.
5 Snake Prevention Tips
One of the key ways to prevent snakes from occupying your yard is to keep it as maintained and secure as possible. Snakes love to inhabit yards that are filled with debris and other large objects that they may be able to use as shelter. Here are some of the best ways to keep your yard and property snake free.
- Fence off your whole yard.
- Check for any possible entry points that snakes could use to access your yard and close them off.
- Double-check all of your outer doors for damages and cracks that snakes may use to gain entry.
- Reduce or remove any objects such as logs, stumps, debris, stones, children’s toys, and yard equipment that snakes could use to conceal themselves.
- Ensure that all of your foliage is well-trimmed.
The Ineffectiveness of Snake Traps and Repellants
In general, snake traps are not very effective outdoors as snakes are not as likely to be intrigued by a trap in a wide-open space. Additionally, snake traps could accidentally lure an innocent critter, which could cause harm to the animal and be a waste of time to you. Traps should really only be used if you are certain that you have a snake problem inside your workplace or home.
Out of all the methods for snake removal and prevention, store-bought snake repellants are the least effective at getting the job done. The only repellants that are actually effective are natural repellants that are found in the wild, such as the musk of a kingsnake or the urine of a mongoose; however, chances are the average homeowner does not have these two substances on hand.
