FAQs

Q: I have a problem with snakes in my backyard. How can I get rid of them without killing them?
A: At times, some wild animals will cause problems or become a nuisance. Snake problems can be handled by removing hiding places such as rock piles, boards, wood piles, and high weeds near the house. These provide shelter for the snakes and they usually stay near them. Just remember that snakes eat insects, earthworms, and mice, and are an important part of the natural environment. If they're really not causing a problem, it is best to leave them alone. --Backyard Wildlife Tips For Success
