This is when you\u2019re most likely to need a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.animalcapturewildlifecontrol.com\/animalsnakes.php\">snake removal<\/a> specialist. For the most part, rattlesnakes are docile and rarely bite, but you should stay away from them.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to Handle a Rattlesnake Encounter<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Despite their reputation, rattlers tend to avoid conflict. If you keep your distance, you should be fine. Be alert for potential snakes when on a trail. Rattlesnakes tend to blend in with their surroundings.<\/p>\n<p>Try to pass a comfortable distance from the snake if you see one. If there isn\u2019t enough room, turn around. Hikers should bring friends along, just in case, and wear long pants and boots. Call a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.animalcapturewildlifecontrol.com\/animalsnakes.php\">snake trapping<\/a> specialist if you spot one near your home.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Rattlesnake Safety Tips<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>To stay safe:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Never walk barefoot or wear sandals on trails or in wild areas.<\/li>\n<li>Stay on well-used trails when hiking.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid tall grass, heavy underbrush, or other areas where snakes hide.<\/li>\n<li>Never step over rocks, in case a snake is hiding.<\/li>\n<li>Do not yell (snakes have poor hearing) or throw rocks at one.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>What to Do if Bitten<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Rattlesnake poison is extremely powerful. Call 911 immediately or get to an emergency room. Wash the affected area with soap and water and elevate a bitten arm or leg above the heart. At the hospital, medical personnel will determine whether to use antivenom.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to Tell a Rattlesnake from a Non-Venomous Snake<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Rattlesnakes have triangular heads and a diamond pattern of dots, plus a trademark stubby tail and hollow rattle. They may be gray to pale or dark brown. There\u2019s no way to tell a snake is non-venomous by looking at it, but rattlesnakes have a classic look and sound. Rattling and hissing are their primary defenses.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Call LA Animal Control<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Animal Capture Wildlife Control specializes in trapping and removing rattlesnakes from homes and other properties.
