TEXAS SNAKE EXTERMINATORS & ELIMINATION
IF YOU ARE GOING TO KILL A SNAKE, BE CAREFUL
By reading this, you agree to our disclaimer.
When you find a snake, there is a possibility that there may be more snakes. Be very careful when attempting to kill a snake. Over 2,450 species of these reptiles exist in the world. The venomous snakes found in Texas are the rattlesnake, cottonmouth, copperhead and coral snake. There are also over 100 species and subspecies of non-venomous snakes. Almost all of
them are not venomous. Snakes, although they scare most humans, are really good for the environment. Because you killed the snakes in your yard, you now have that mouse problem in your house.
Venomous snakes are classified in two categories: Cobras and Vipers. Snakes usually will not attack humans unless provoked. Over 79% of humans are attacked by snakes while trying to kill them, most likely by using a shovel Unfortunately, killing a snake by severing their heads from their bodies, is the most common way other than using a firearm. And the THIRD BEST TOOL, other than a gun and shovel, to use for snake elimination is.... a LAWNMOWER or EDGER. A lawn mower and edger have high speed moving blades, and in certain situations, seem like the better idea than a shovel, at times. If a snake is in thick grass, a lawn mower make the situation better or worse, but a shovel could be just as risky. A landscaper can also let you know if he has seen any snakes around. REMEMBER FOUR OUT OF FIVE PEOPLE ARE BIT WHEN ATTEMPTING TO KILL THEM. A lawn mower gives you much more reach and is much more deadly than a shovel. If you are attacked, seek medical help immediately. Although you may think you can die instantly from a snake bite, the reality is that people do not usually die from snake venom. If left untreated you could lose a limb or maybe your life. Take all snake bites seriously.
The most common venomous snakes in Texas are the Texas Coral Snake, Western Pygmy Rattlesnake, Western Diamondback Rattlesnake, Canebrake,Timber Rattlesnake, Southern Copperhead, and Western Cottonmouth. An exterminator company might save the snake and relocate the guy to another part of town, but an exterminator is also going to take a while to get there.
