Snakes play an essential role in the ecosystem in Australia. More often than not, a snake’s only harm is to frighten people. They’re much more likely to find a small crack to crawl away to than to bite you, though it can happen if they are cornered or if you try to grab them.
Although these days, it is relatively rare to die from a snake bite, no matter what snake it is, getting bit by a venomous snake often leads to severe pain and health issues.
Have you wondered about what attracted snakes to your home, yard or shed in the first place? Most likely, these are rats or mice. Or, more likely, all together.
Yes, they may be looking for shelter, but they were very likely attracted to a food source. That could mean you have a rodent problem. They’ll hunt for them in the roof space, pet and chicken food storage areas, subfloor and sheds and then hide in the dark and damp corners, holes, nooks and cracks as they digest.
To eliminate potential food sources, take steps to control rodent and insect populations, such as maintaining clean living spaces and storing food in rodent-proof containers and call ABI PEST CONTROL to keep rats and mice infestation under control.
Snakes can cause a lot of panic, especially if they enter homes. Do not approach the snake or disturb it in any way. Snakes are shy animals and their first response is to move away and hide when disturbed. Most snake bites happen when people try to kill or handle a snake.
