Snake Control Service

Efficient Pest Control Service for Snakes

Finding a snake on your property can be dangerous and stressful. Especially if you’re unsure whether it’s venomous. At Total Defence we provide professional Snake Control Services in Dubai and Sharjah to safely remove snakes and help prevent future infestations. Our experienced team uses safe, effective methods to protect your home or business, ensuring a secure environment for your family, employees and pets.

Snakes are attracted to properties by the presence of prey water sources and sheltered hiding spots. They are most active during warmer months and often seek shelter in homes or businesses when outdoor conditions are extreme or prey is abundant indoors. Identifying whether a snake is venomous or non venomous can be challenging and risky for untrained individuals, making professional snake removal and control paramount for safety.

How to Identify a Snake Problem?

  • Sightings:
    The most direct sign is seeing a live snake in your yard, garden, garage or even indoors.

     

  • Shed Skins:
    Finding shed snake skins in or around your property. This indicates a snake has recently been present and is growing.

     

  • Tracks:
    Unique S-shaped or wavy tracks on dusty floors, sand, or soft ground.

     

  • Droppings:
    Snake droppings are typically dark and cylindrical, often with a white uric acid cap, resembling bird droppings but larger.

     

  • Prey Activity:
    An abundance of rodents lizards or large insects can attract snakes seeking food.

     

  • Burrows/Hiding Spots:
    Discovering unexplained burrows, or noticing snakes repeatedly emerging from or entering specific hiding places like rock piles, dense bushes, or under foundations.

Risks of Snakes:

The primary risk associated with snakes is their bite, which can be dangerous:

  • Venomous Bites:
    The most severe risk. Bites from venomous snakes can cause severe pain, swelling, tissue damage, systemic effects and in rare cases can be life threatening if not treated immediately.
  • Fear and Anxiety:
    The presence of snakes can cause significant fear, distress and phobia for individuals, impacting their peace of mind and ability to enjoy their property.
  • Pet Safety:
    Pets, especially dogs, are curious and may attempt to interact with snakes, increasing their risk of being bitten.
  • Accidental Encounters:
    Snakes can hide in unexpected places. Leading to accidental and dangerous encounters.
  • Reputation (Commercial):
    For resorts, outdoor venues or properties with large landscapes, snake sightings can deter visitors and damage reputation.

Preventive Measures:

Preventing snake problems focuses on habitat modification, exclusion, and controlling prey:

Remove Hiding Spots:

Clear away rock piles, woodpiles, dense brush, tall grass, thick ground covers, and any debris around your property. Store firewood away from the house and off the ground.

Control Rodents:

Implement effective rodent control services (mice and rats), as rodents are a primary food source for many snakes.

Seal Entry Points:

Seal all cracks and crevices in foundations, walls, and gaps under doors. Ensure tight-fitting screens on windows and doors.

Maintain Landscaping:

Keep grass mowed short, and trim bushes and shrubs away from the house to reduce cover for snakes.

Remove Water Sources:

Eliminate standing water sources that attract amphibians (frogs) or insects, which snakes might prey on.

Secure Fencing:

Consider installing snake-proof fencing around specific areas if necessary, ensuring it is buried slightly below ground and angled outwards.

Educate Occupants:

Inform family members or employees about what to do if they encounter a snake.

If you encounter a snake on your property, keep a safe distance especially if you cannot identify the species. Contact Total Defence for professional Snake Control Services in Sharjah and Dubai. Our team will inspect your property, safely remove the snake and recommend effective measures. If other wildlife activity is identified during the inspection, we may also recommend our Birds Control Service or Squirrels Control Service to provide complete protection for your property.
