People often encounter snakes because their property provides a good habitat for snakes to hide and hunt. Snakes are able to enter homes through the under floor and gain access into the home through pipes that come up through the floor. Most snakes will choose to run when encountered, but when startled the snake goes into defense mode and will protect itself. Bites can be avoided by using common sense. Many snakes give a warning before a strike, but not always. Rattlesnakes can strike in 1/25 of a second (quicker than the human eye blinks) and half their body length. Let the professionals safely identify, capture, and remove all unwanted snakes.
