Snake Pest Control

Snake Pest Control

Why did it have to be snakes? For many people, snakes are a considerable fear and menace, a pest that they can’t handle alone. While there’s no reason to be scared of most snakes, there are some that can spell trouble for your home or property, especially if they find their way indoors. The average snake is a legless reptile that slithers along the ground, though their actual appearance can vary widely. There are many different kinds of snakes all across North America, and Ontario is home to its own species of snake.

The types of snakes across Canada vary, from venomous to non-venomous. It’s difficult to tell if a snake is truly venomous or not, and it’s not something you should attempt to discover on your own. Even if you think you are dealing with a harmless garden variety snake, you could wind up in the hospital from a dangerous bite.

Dealing With Snakes

If you are attempting to identify a snake, do so at a distance. The average venomous snake in North America has a flat or triangle-shaped head, with oblong pupils. Poisonous snakes have “pits” beneath their eyes that look like nostrils that help them sense heat. Regardless, you shouldn’t approach any snake on your property on your own, especially if you suspect it to be venomous or dangerous.

When hanging out in your garden or exterior property, it can be an alarming experience to get surprised by a snake. If you see a snake, leave it alone. To make your space unappealing for a snake, make sure your yard or garden is free of debris such as leaves or unstacked firewood. Snakes seek out these sorts of environments to build their nests or hang out. If there are holes or other unprotected areas in your home or building, snakes may enter. To prevent snakes from entering your property, make sure it’s fully sealed and free of opportunity.

You should never try to remove or handle a snake yourself. Even if you think you know what you’re doing, snakes are coy and tough to distinguish.
