DON’T FORGET THE GARDEN

Remove any potential hiding places in your yard as well, such as piles of wood or rock, tall grasses, cracks in the concrete, or storage sheds. Discarded pet food and garbage in particular can attract Rodents, which in turn attract Snakes.

[Alternatively, if you’re not averse to the idea of seeing friendly Snakes in the garden, check out the author’s article titled All Bite, No Venom from our March issue. -Ed.]
