LET’S SEE SOME ID

Why is it important to first identify the Snake? Not all Snakes are venomous, and it takes different techniques to deal with different ones. Some Snake species are more aggressive, while some are timid and skittish.

Always assume at first, however, that you are dealing with a venomous Snake, and don’t take any unnecessary risks. If you have identified the Snake as non-venomous and who poses no immediate danger to people or pets, then leave them alone. If the Snake has a way to get inside your house, then odds are they have a way to leave by themself as well.

Another way to deal with non-venomous Snakes is simply by sweeping them away. Either sweep them out of your hose gently or sweep the Snake into a bucket with a sealable lid for later release.
