Rattlesnake Warning and Tips

Fire Danger isn’t the only concern in California; the extreme heat is bringing out Rattlesnakes and causing major issues. Residents are finding them in their homes, yards and gardens and calling 911 for help. Snake bites are up 100 percent from last year - what can we safely do to keep these unwanted snakes from our homes and our yards? A local Company, Nature-Cide, offers these safety tips when you encounter a snake and how you can keep your property, kids and pets safe! 1. If you see a rattlesnake – Don’t try to pick it up; don’t try to scare it off; and don’t try to move it. Don’t even think about getting close to take a photo. Remove yourself and your family from the situation. 2. Use an all-natural snake deterrent that won’t be dangerous if your pets or children ingest it. 3. Don’t call 911 if you only see a snake – this takes up valuable time for the EMS companies. Call a Snake Removal company if you want to remove the snake from your property and consider an alternative to poison program. 4. Do call 911 if bit by a Rattlesnake – it is imperative to get treatment immediately 5. Watch your pet for signs of distress including bruising and swelling.
