How to Prevent Snakes Entering Your Property

While we provide expert rattlesnake removal services, the best long-term solution is to prevent snakes from entering your property in the first place.  Here are some essential measures to help keep your property snake-free:

  • Install Rattlesnake-Proof Fencing – The most reliable and effective way to keep snakes off your property is by installing rattlesnake-proof fencing. This specialized fencing is made of fine mesh or solid material, and extends a few inches underground to stop snakes from burrowing underneath. 

  • Remove Food Sources – Keep pet food indoors, secure trash bins with tight lids, and take steps to control rodent populations by sealing food sources and eliminating nesting areas.

  • Seal Entry Points – Snakes can squeeze through surprisingly small openings. Check for holes, cracks, and gaps in your home’s foundation, walls, doors, and windows. Seal any potential entry points using weather stripping, caulk, or wire mesh. Pay special attention to garages, sheds, and crawl spaces where snakes often seek shelter.

  • Keep Your Yard Clean and Well-Maintained – A cluttered yard provides plenty of hiding spots for snakes. Keep your lawn mowed, trim overgrown bushes, and remove debris such as wood piles, leaves, and dense vegetation. Avoid stacking firewood directly on the ground, as it can attract rodents, which in turn attract snakes.

Common Snakes in Arizona

Arizona is home to a diverse range of snake species, including both venomous and non-venomous snakes. While some pose a serious threat to humans and pets, others are completely harmless and even beneficial for controlling rodent populations. Knowing how to identify these snakes can help you stay safe and avoid unnecessary panic. Here are some of the most common snakes found in the region:

  • Western Diamondback Rattlesnake – The most common and dangerous rattlesnake in Arizona, recognized by its distinctive diamond-shaped markings and black-and-white banded tail. This snake is responsible for the majority of rattlesnake bites in the state and should never be approached.

  • Mojave Rattlesnake – Known for having some of the most potent neurotoxic and hemotoxic venom, making it more dangerous than the Western Diamondback. Often mistaken for other rattlesnakes, the Mojave can be identified by its greenish-brown coloration and tail bands that fade near the tip.

  • Sidewinder Rattlesnake – Found primarily in sandy desert areas, this rattlesnake moves in a unique sideways motion, leaving distinctive J-shaped tracks in the sand. Its small, horn-like scales above the eyes help it blend into its environment, making it harder to spot.

  • Gopher Snakes – One of the most common non-venomous snakes in Arizona, gopher snakes are often mistaken for rattlesnakes due to their similar coloration and defensive behavior. When threatened, they flatten their heads, shake their tails, and hiss loudly to mimic a rattlesnake—but they are completely harmless to humans.

  • Coachwhip Snakes – These long, slender, and incredibly fast-moving snakes are commonly found in open spaces, grasslands, and desert environments. Although they are non-venomous, they are known for their aggressive behavior when cornered and can deliver a painful bite. Their coloration varies widely, ranging from tan to reddish or even pink.

  • Sonoran Coral Snake – A small but highly venomous snake, easily identified by its red, yellow, and black bands. Unlike rattlesnakes, coral snakes do not have a rattle and rely on their bright colors as a warning. Although bites are rare, their neurotoxic venom can be life-threatening.

Whether venomous or non-venomous, all snakes should be treated with caution and left alone. If you encounter a snake on your property, do not attempt to handle it yourself - our expert snake removal team will properly identify, safely capture, and relocate the snake, ensuring your safety and peace of mind.
