Safety Tips To Help Prevent Snakes From Coming Around Your Home

You can save a lot of money by using prevention as your main weapon against snakes... the best way to manage nuisance wildlife problems is via preventative maintenance. Basic, but vitally important changes will drastically help you get rid of snakes. Grass must be kept short; this includes your neighbor's grass. If your neighbors have tall grass, you may still get snakes. If your neighborhood has rat or mouse issues, snakes will follow. Do not feed wildlife; the food will attract mice or rats. Eliminate junk and brush piles. Tree trimming, home repairs, a well maintained property and garbage control will also go a very long way.

Tree Trimming:
	Trim or remove trees so that they are 12-20' from your house and outbuildings.
	Trim and remove trees with a budget in mind. Trees grow up to 3' a year!
	Trim vines, bushes and trees 12-20' from all fences.
	Only allow wildlife resistant fences to touch house (do not provide them a ladder. Wrought iron spiked fences with decorative finials can be made unattractive to wildlife).
	Snakes love attics - do not give them a ladder to your roof.

Home Maintenance and Repairs:
	A majority of the calls we get are due to roofing problems.
	Replace damaged and rotted siding and trim.
	Have us install a cap on your chimney and covers on your house vents.
	Block access to the underside of buildings, porches and decks.
	A cedar roof is an invitation to insects and wildlife.

General Snake Prevention:
	Tightly cover all garbage cans.
	Do not feed your pets outdoors.
	Do not feed the birds.
	Do not feed the squirrels.
	Cut and remove thick underbrush.
	Eliminate brush and garbage piles.
	Mow your lawn frequently. Encourage neighbors to do the same.
	Tall grass will make your property more attractive to snakes.
	If you have a rat or mouse problem, snakes will soon join the party.
