Wildlife Tip of The Week

What to do when a snake gets inside your home

If a snake was to get inside your home, the first thing you should remember is not to panic. Panicking is the worst thing you can doyou'll agitate the animal more than anything else, and you probably won't make rational decisions either. When you're faced with a snake, the wrong decision really could cost you your life. Believe it or not there are four venomous snakes in the state of Florida alone. If a snake has come inside your property, there's a good chance it will be on the hunt for foodthings like rats and miceand this means you'll need to look at investing in rat or mouse traps as well as resolving the snake issue. It won't have just slithered on in for no reason. Food isn't the only reason why a snake would enter your home howevera messy garden with plenty of log piles or leaves can make for a great home, especially to a mother snake looking for a nice and safe place to rear her young. All of these things will need to be thought about when you're trying to get that snake out of your homethings that will need to be dealt with at a later time. Back to the snake itself, can you get the snake out of your home without disrupting too much? Can you open a back door, for example, and let the snake slither out by itself? Does it look like a poisonous snake? If it's not, do you have thick gloves to hand? A pillowcase? Could you grab the snake and place it in the bag until you've researched a safe place to release it? If you can't, or if you're not sure what species of snake it is, give the local professionals a call to do the job without anyone getting hurt.
