Snakes – On Doorstep

Q: We keep seeing snakes on our doorsteps. What is the best product to try to rid ourselves of them coming in the house?

A: They are just using it for a “warming up” spot before leaving to catch mice or crickets. Even though your snake is likely not venomous, it can be startling to see one in the spot where you are just about to step. Remove any nearby attractive habitat, like firewood piles, stacks of rocks, or high grass. My bet is that as the season wears on the snakes will find other places to warm up.
