Read More »Snakes are great at hiding. In this video we will show you some of the most common places to check around your home for snake activity outdoors. Snakes live in areas where all of their needs can be met and is easiest for them to thrive. The appearance of snakes on your property usually means a rodent population is nearby. Properties with readily available water sources such as bodies of water, bird baths, standing water or animal watering troughs will also have a higher chance of having snake activity. Shed snake skins are one of the first signs of snakes typically noticed by property owners. They are most active in spring and summer. You'll often find them basking in the sun or on the hunt for prey during the day. In the evening, as temperatures cool, snakes become less active and will retreat to their protected harborage so they're less exposed to predators. Don't stick your hands or feet into dim areas to inspect for snakes. Instead, use a bright flashlight to help you visually inspect the following areas: Rock piles, stacked firewood, piles of yard debris, dense brush, tall grasses, deep cracks in sidewalks or driveways, under storage buildings or sheds, and in or under shrubs or bushes that haven't been trimmed If venomous snakes are a known issue on your property, we strongly recommend you consult with a professional wildlife removal company prior to any snake inspection or removal efforts.

Answer: Firewood storage attracts a number of pests including termites, other insects, and rodents.
