| SNAKE REMOVAL Snake general information Minnesota has 17 species of snakes, two, the Timber rattler and the Massasauga are poisonous. There have been only two unconfirmed sightings of the Massasauga in Minnesota. We do have a stabile population of Timber Rattlers that live in the southeastern tip of Minnesota. Snakes hibernate in groups, usually in holes in the ground or in the foundations of buildings.
Snake proofing houses Exclusion is the only long-term means of controlling snake problems in the home. Nuisance Wildlife Control will repair any holes in the foundation or outside wall of the house. NWC will also inspect the yard for possible snake hibernation sites. Snakes can crawl through very small openings (about 1/4 inch) so the repair must be thorough to ensure success. Most snakes can't dig their own holes so they must rely on existing holes. Some of these holes are easy fixes other requires drastic means to find (removing sheetrock, excavating around foundation). Habitat modification is another way to keep snake from hibernating on your site. |
