Cumberland County wildlife control Tip of the Month:

What Equipment Is Needed to Catch a Snake?
If you have spotted a snake and need to catch it, you should use special tools and personal protective gear. But before launching your snake removal process, try to know the species of the snake. That will help you choose the best way to handle the intruder snake.

Snake tongs
Snake tongs have a meticulous design to help you grasp a snake from a safe distance and move it safely into a bag or net. Based on its design, this special tool can be used by both amateurs and experienced snake catchers. With the help of this equipment, you can reach out into tight spaces where your hands can hardly fit.

Snake trap
These traps are specially designed to catch snakes, especially inside the house, where there is a high chance of getting the snake trapped. Snakes traps come in a wide range of sizes, material quality, design, and prices. As such, you can choose what works for your situation and also fits into your budget harmoniously. You can look for some of the commonly used traps such as glue traps, maze traps, or minnow traps.

The glue trap is made of either a wooden or cardboard sheet with an adhesive that keeps the animal tightly fixed on it. This type of trap is also used for trapping small rodents. If that method doesn't work for you, you can opt for a maze trap. This type of trap is usually made up of a plank of wood or a heavy-duty board with a rotating wooden channel to guide the animal into the trap where it finally gets caught. You can also use a minnow trap. This type of trap has funnel-like access that makes it suitable for catching snakes. Once the snake starts to get in, it cannot retreat.

If the store near you does not sell snake traps, do not fret. You can make one using a plastic bottle. All you have to do is cut a hole big enough to fit the snake's head on the bottle so that the animal's head can get stuck when it enters the bottle.

Snake hook
A snake hook is one of the handy tools you can use to get rid of snakes from your yard or home. This tool allows you to scoop a snake and transport it safely. It's best used for bigger snakes. One of the interesting things with this tool is that you can use it to maneuver the animal without restricting its movement. It also comes in handy when flipping over things that may be a hideout for a snake.

Snake bag
A snake bag is quite simple, and it is used to transport the animal after catching it safely. You lure the animal into the bag by placing it in front of its head from a safe distance. Once it enters the bag, close it. Alternatively, you can use a very sturdy net that does not have any holes.

When using these bags, it is crucial to bear in mind that pit vipers can sense warmth and can strike you even when placed in a bag or strong net, so always keep a safe distance.

High-quality gloves
Never attempt to catch a serpent with your bare hands! Instead, always wear fitted high-quality gloves to protect yourself from the fangs of the snake.

Snake boots and pants
These pieces of personal protective equipment are useful if you spotted a snake in your bushy or grassy compound. Since snakes have excellent motion sensors, they can stay hidden and strike whenever they feel provoked. They protect you from surprise attacks from the animal if you step on it accidentally as you try to catch it.

NOTE: Always remember to exercise the highest level of caution as snakes can be extremely dangerous.
