We all have different phobias, and there are many different critters out there with a bad reputation, but one very common fear that is not always unfounded is that of snakes. While there isn’t an abundance of poisonous snakes in this country, some states do have more than others. Keeping snakes out of your backyard will give you some peace of mind when you and your family are spending time outdoors.
So, what can you do to keep them at bay? One step would be to remove their main source of food. Snakes live on smaller animals, such as mice, chipmunks and squirrels, so if you get rid of small rodents around your home, snakes will be less likely to come looking.
It is also good to remove hiding places for snakes. They like to hide out as much as possible, so keeping your grass cut short will deter them from entering your yard.
