The Role of Snakes in Our Environment

Snakes are more than just visitors to our backyards—they’re key players in maintaining ecological balance. By controlling populations of rodents and pests, they contribute to a healthier environment for everyone. Snake Catcher Grange is committed to educating the community about the importance of snakes and their role in our shared ecosystem.

Preventing Snake Encounters

Taking a few proactive steps can significantly reduce the likelihood of encountering a snake on your property:

  • Clear Clutter: Remove woodpiles, debris, and overgrown vegetation where snakes can hide.
  • Control Pests: Reducing rodents and other prey species makes your property less attractive to snakes.
  • Seal Gaps: Inspect your home for gaps in doors, windows, or walls that could allow snakes to enter.
  • Secure Pet Areas: Ensure outdoor pet enclosures are snake-proof, especially if food is left outside.
