Why Snakes Visit Your Backyard
Understanding what draws snakes to your property is the first step toward minimising encounters. Common reasons include:
Food: Rodents, frogs, and birds attract snakes looking for a meal.
Shelter: Piles of wood, thick shrubs, and garden debris offer ideal hiding spots.
Warmth: Snakes are cold-blooded and often bask on warm surfaces like rocks or concrete paths.
By managing these factors, you can make your yard less appealing to visiting snakes.
Myths About Snakes: Setting the Record Straight
Myth: All snakes are dangerous. Reality: Most snakes in Taigum are non-venomous and pose no threat to humans.
Myth: Snakes actively seek out humans. Reality: Snakes are naturally shy and avoid human interaction whenever possible.
Myth: Snakes only appear in rural areas. Reality: Suburban areas like Taigum provide ample food and shelter, making them a common habitat.
The Importance of Coexisting with Snakes
Snakes are often feared, but they play an essential role in maintaining ecological balance. They help control populations of pests like rats and mice, which can otherwise become problematic in suburban areas. By relocating snakes rather than harming them, we help maintain this balance while ensuring the safety of our community.
How to Make Your Property Less Snake-Friendly
Maintain Your Yard: Keep grass short, trim overgrown shrubs, and remove piles of leaves or debris.
Secure Entry Points: Seal gaps in doors, windows, and walls to prevent snakes from entering your home.
Manage Food Sources: Store pet food securely and clean up any spilled birdseed or compost.
Be Mindful of Water Sources: Snakes are often drawn to water bowls, ponds, and swimming pools.
