Minnesota has seventeen snake species, two of which are rattlesnakes, and three lizard species. Snakes and lizards are classified as reptiles, which are characterized by having scaly skin and being ectothermic (cold-blooded). Because the body temperature of these animals is largely controlled by the temperature of their surroundings, they are typically only active in Minnesota from April through late October. During the winter, they move underground, below the frost line, and become inactive, or hibernate.

Snakes – Pest Control in Your Home (Part II)

How do you remove snakes from homes in Minnesota?

There is no snake repellent – commercial or homemade that actually works. Predator urine (coyote urine), mothball flakes (naphthalene) and sulfur are commonly sold snake repellants.  These so-called repellants fail to deter snakes. Unfortunately, they also poison the environment. This can cause more harm than good.

Another repellant method used is ultrasonic sound devices. Some remedies from old wives tales have actually used human hair or garlic. Of course, these have also proven worthless.

To remove snakes, you need 2 things. The 1st is the physical removal of the snakes. The 2nd is to seal up any snake entrances. This helps prevent a future infestation of snakes. This can also help prevent other pest or rodent infestations. Maybe you don’t know where the snakes are coming from. Maybe you fear snakes. This is where experienced professionals can help.

Snakes – Pest Control in Your Home (Part I)

Snakes are non-life-threatening in Minnesota. Yet, snakes may quickly invade your home. Common snakes found in Minnesota include: the Common Garter Snake, Fox Snake, Redbelly Snake and the Bullsnake (aka gopher snake). Most people have seen the Garter Snake. It appears black with three yellow lengthwise stripes. It grows up to 3 feet. While harmless, it may bite.

Removing snakes for good can be difficult. Snakes may nest in the same place for generations. Like birds, some migrate year after year to the same spot-and multiply. Sometimes these snake nests are older than our homes. This can be a problem for homeowners who try to remove snakes themselves. You may need to call for professional animal control and removal.

Snakes need a warm place to hibernate. Right now snakes are seeking shelter before the onset of winter. Snakes can enter your home through small cracks, just as a rodent may. Rodent problems also attract snakes as their main predator.

If you have snakes in your home, call a professional. Minnesota Wild Animal Management are experts at snake removal in a humane way from your home. We remove snakes and then seal areas of your home that attract snakes to nest. Call Minnesota Wild Animal Management today at :
