First things first, you need to identify the snake. Not all snakes are dangerous, but some definitely are.
If you notice unusual patterns, striking colors, or a snake that’s particularly aggressive, it’s a sign that you should call in the pros. Even if you’re not sure, it’s better to be safe than sorry, especially if you have kids or pets running around.
Take a quick pic if you can, and describe it to the professional when you call.
Don’t Attempt to Remove It Yourself
Handling a snake on your own is a big no-no. Even if it’s non-venomous, snakes can still bite, and a bite can easily get infected.
Plus, trying to catch a snake can stress it out, making it more likely to bite. Professionals have the right equipment and know how to handle these slippery little guys safely.
Your DIY approach could end badly, so leave it to the experts.
Snakes Can Be Protective of Their Territory
Snakes often hang out where food is abundant and where they feel safe. If one has set up shop in your garden, it’s probably defending its territory.
This makes it more dangerous to approach. A professional can assess the situation and safely relocate the snake without causing it to become aggressive.
Remember, safety first!
Potential for Multiple Snakes
Where there’s one snake, there could be more, especially during mating season or if they’ve found a good food source in your garden. Professionals can check your whole yard, not just the spot where you saw the snake.
They’ll make sure no other sneaky surprises are lurking around. Trust us, one call can save you a lot of future headaches (and potential heart attacks).
Protect Yourself and Your Pets
Your pets probably spend a lot of time outside, and they don’t know to steer clear of snakes. A snake bite can be fatal to pets, so don’t risk it.
Once you call a professional, they can offer advice on how to snake-proof your garden and keep it safe for everyone. This is one area where it’s definitely worth getting some expert help.
