What Can I Do About Snake Control?

Proper identification is the most important thing. Study a species' habits and what its needs are. Texas rat snakes eat a variety of things like mice, rats, baby birds and eggs. The best thing to do is to keep the grass cut short. Keep the debris picked out from the yard, such as woodpiles stacked up in the garage. Basically, just keep the grass cut and debris picked up. If you have a shader in you backyard, you might as well address that because if the snake can make a living he is going to stick around just like you and I. If you cannot find work or you cannot find a living, you are going to move on. That's the same thing with animals.
