4 Signs of Snakes on Your Polk County Property

There are a few signs that you can look out for that will indicate a snake is nesting on your property:

1. Snake skin – Snakes shed skin as they grow, so finding a long or small piece of scaly skin is a big sign of snake activity.
2. Slither trails – Snakes will leave unique winding tracks on the floor that indicate their path.
3. Droppings – You may find snake droppings during your search, which are similar to bird feces.
4. Disturbing sounds – If snakes are on your property, you may notice hissing noises or rustling sounds in flower beds and bushes as you walk by.

Always be careful when encountering a snake, and never try to approach or remove a snake yourself. Snakes are known to strike and bite if cornered or threatened. Regardless if it is venomous or not, for your safety and the safety of the animal, snakes should only be handled by licensed and trained professionals.
