Discovering a snake in your home can be an unsettling experience. Whether it’s a harmless garter snake or a more concerning species, it’s natural to feel alarmed. At Minnesota Wild Animal Management, Inc., we specialize in the safe, humane, and effective removal of snakes from homes across the state. Our team is equipped to handle snake encounters promptly and professionally.
Minnesota is home to 17 species of snakes, the majority of which are non-venomous and pose little threat to humans. The most common species include the garter snake, smooth green snake, and northern water snake. However, two venomous species, the timber rattlesnake and the eastern massasauga, reside in the southeastern regions of the state. While encounters with these venomous snakes are rare, any unexpected snake sighting can cause concern.
Why Snakes Enter Homes
Snakes often seek shelter in homes due to environmental factors:
- Food Sources: An abundance of rodents or insects can attract snakes.
- Shelter: Cool, damp areas like basements, crawl spaces, or garages provide ideal hiding spots.
- Entry Points: Cracks in foundations, gaps under doors, or holes in siding can serve as entryways.
Identifying and addressing these factors is crucial in preventing future snake intrusions.
