In fact, there are only four species of snake that are poisonous in our state, which are Massasauga Rattlesnakes, Timber Rattlesnakes, Water Moccasins (also called Eastern Cottonmouths), and Northern Copperheads, See our article, \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/ezinearticles.com\/?The-Only-4-Poisonous-Snake-Species-in-Indiana&amp;id=9503512 \" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"The Only 4 Poisonous Snake Species in Indiana (opens in a new tab)\">The Only 4 Poisonous Snake Species in Indiana<\/a>\u201d to learn more about each species. The most common species of nuisance snakes around Indiana are Corn snakes and Garter snakes, both of which are non-poisonous. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the majority of snakes you see around your neighborhood are non-poisonous, they are still a threat in many ways, which means you do not want them hanging around. For starters, snakes are smelly, and can produce lingering odors around your backyard, patio, porch, tree house, jungle gyms, and garage; these are some common areas they like to hide. Other common areas for snakes to hide include log and lumber piles, compost piles, mulch beds, gardens, unfinished basements, shrubs alongside foundations, attics, stream banks, long grass, under downspouts, beneath large rocks, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, snakes can carry diseases, which can be\ntransmitted to both people and pets. Last, if snakes are on your property,\nthere is potential for them to make their way inside your home and cause a long\nlist of unpleasant destruction. They can also lay eggs, which hatch quickly, so\none snake can turn into many in a matter of weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Snake Removal and Control Tips:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>&#x1f40d; <strong>Kitty Litter<\/strong> \u2013 Sprinkle cat litter around your property where you know snakes are active. They do not like the course, dry material because it bothers their scales. So snakes will avoid kitty litter at all costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#x1f40d; <strong>Homemade Repellent<\/strong> \u2013 You can make a safe, non-toxic snake repellant solution by combing rotten eggs, cayenne pepper, and water. However, these are pungent, so you may want an OTC product instead. Just be sure it is non-toxic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#x1f40d; <strong>Fencing <\/strong>\u2013 You can add chicken wire or fencing around gardens and snake hot spots, but this method is usually not successful all on its own. Combine fencing with repellant and other methods of snake control for best results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#x1f40d; <strong>Environmental Changes<\/strong> \u2013 You can remove the attractions that snakes are after, such as the areas mentioned before where snakes like to hide. Of course, you can\u2019t get rid of everything, so incorporate other methods for effective results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Professional Snake Removal and Control Services<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Call 317-257-2290<\/strong> for prompt and professional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wildliferemovalindianapolis.com\/Indianapolis-snake-removal.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Indianapolis snake removal and control (opens in a new tab)\">Indianapolis snake removal and control<\/a> you can trust.
