Snake Control & Prevention

Snakes are typically more active in the spring and summer months when they are looking for food and mates. They are often found in gardens, fields, wooded areas, and other areas where they can find food and shelter. Snakes are attracted to homes and businesses that provide them with a source of food, such as mice, rats, and other small animals.

Snakes can enter a building through small cracks and crevices in the foundation, walls, and roof. They can also enter through open windows and doors. Once inside, they can hide in dark, quiet places, such as attics, basements, crawlspaces, closets, and storage areas. If you have a snake problem, it is important to have the snake removed and the area sealed off to prevent future infestations.

Here are some tips to help you prevent a snake infestation:

• Keep your lawn mowed and your garden tidy. Snakes are less likely to enter your property if they do not have a place to hide.
• Remove debris and clutter from your yard. Snakes can hide in piles of leaves, grass clippings, firewood, and other debris.
• Seal off potential entry points. Snakes can enter a building through small cracks and crevices in the foundation, walls, and roof. Make sure that all windows and doors are properly sealed and that there are no gaps around the pipes, vents, and other openings.
• Store firewood and other materials off the ground. Snakes can hide in piles of firewood, lumber, and other materials that are stored on the ground.
• Keep your property clean and free of food debris. Snakes are attracted to homes and businesses that provide them with a source of food. Make sure that all garbage cans have tight-fitting lids and that all food is properly stored in sealed containers.
• Do not feed the birds. Snakes are attracted to bird feeders because they provide them with a source of food. If you have a problem with snakes, you should avoid feeding the birds.

While these tips can help you reduce the risk of a snake infestation, they are not foolproof. If you have a snake problem, you should contact a professional wildlife control company for help.

How to Identify a Venomous Snake

There are several species of venomous snakes in El Paso County, including the northern copperhead, the eastern timber rattlesnake, and the eastern massasauga. These snakes are typically found in wooded areas, but they can also be found in fields, gardens, and other areas where they can find food and shelter.

It is important to be able to identify a venomous snake so that you can take appropriate action. If you see a snake in your yard or garden, you should stay away from it and contact a professional wildlife control company for help. Do not attempt to remove the snake yourself.

Here are some tips to help you identify a venomous snake:

• Pit vipers. Venomous snakes in El Paso County are pit vipers, which means that they have a heat-sensing pit located between the eye and the nostril. This pit allows them to detect the body heat of their prey. Non-venomous snakes do not have this pit.
• Fangs. Venomous snakes have long, hollow fangs that are used to inject venom into their prey. Non-venomous snakes have small, solid teeth.
• Vertical pupils. Venomous snakes have vertical pupils, like cats. Non-venomous snakes have round pupils, like a humans.
• Triangular head. Venomous snakes have a triangular head that is wider than the neck. Non-venomous snakes have a head that is the same width as the neck.
• Rattle. Some venomous snakes, such as the eastern timber rattlesnake, have a rattle on the end of the tail. Non-venomous snakes do not have a rattle.

If you are unsure whether a snake is venomous or non-venomous, you should stay away from it and contact a professional wildlife control company for help.
