To make an area unattractive to snakes, eliminate rodents and other sources of food. Remove places to hide. Get rid of trash. Remove brush and leaf piles. Place stacked material twelve or more inches above the ground or floor and away from walls. Space beneath structures and stacks must be kept clean. Keep shrubbery and other plantings away from foundations and walls. Keep shrubbery clean and free of debris. Keep lawns mowed. Fill unwanted depressions. Keep stream and pond banks clean and clipped. Even if all this is done, the occasional snake may still be found.

Rattlesnakes and other snakes eat mice and various types of rodents. They are able to follow the trails of mice, rats and gophers (using the sensors on the end of their tongue) back to the place where these rodents are nesting. This in itself makes rodent control very important to your property.

Not all snakes are bad (e.g., king, garter snake, etc.) but if your property is trimmed and worked properly it will be a less attractive place for them.

We can apply a snake repellant in the area of activity to repel them. This can be applied in and around homes, offices, and industrial sites.
