Remove Snakes From Home | Jackson TN Snake Control & Trapping

Snakes

Snakes. Just the word invokes a shiver in most. Ophiophobia, or the fear of snakes, is at the top of primal fears. Most species in Tennessee are harmless, but if you can’t positively identify it, assume that it is dangerous and stay away from it. Of the thirty-two species of native snakes, four are venomous – Copperheads, Pygmy and Timber Rattlesnakes, and Cottonmouths. A case of mistaken identity can have deadly consequences.

They are critical to the ecosystem in Tennessee and help keep rodent populations under control. That being said, no one wants to find one in their home or business, or on their property. While they are commonly found in grassy or wooded areas, urbanized neighborhoods and suburbs are being frequented with a more significant occurrence. They like to hide in cool and shady areas of the home like the attic or basement, and outside spaces such as under a porch, shed, or woodpiles. Once they have settled in, breeding begins, and the problem escalates.

There are also many myths about them. There are outrageous tales of beheaded creatures whose bodies regenerate, or that they always travel in pairs. Believing that a rattlesnake will always rattle before striking can have deadly repercussions. One of the most common myths is that they are aggressive and will attempt to bite you immediately upon being discovered. In reality, most species are not aggressive, and bites occur because the animal is acting in self-defense. Should you be surprised by one, it is essential that you do not handle it. Under current Tennessee law, it is not legal to capture or kill a snake within state boundaries. This is an important reason to hire a professional service.
