The Best Tips To Deter Snakes From Your Saint Johns Property

Florida is home to 46 different species of snakes, and the natural environment around Saint Johns makes the community a popular destination for these creatures. While many snakes prefer to stay away from residences, the area's expanding population makes that challenging. Additionally, they hunt common intruders of Saint Johns properties like rodents and insects, attracting them to your home or business.

While most snakes are harmless around people, you might want to keep them away from your structure. The primary reason they invade properties is for food, so removing these sources will cause the pests to look elsewhere. Snake control tips for your Saint Johns property include:

• Eliminate rodent infestations on your property.
• Keep pet food inside your house.
• Store food and garbage in tight containers.
• Ensure your window screens and door sweeps fit tightly.

Wildlife and Pest Control Experts will inspect your property to find snakes and destroy their nesting sites. We can catch the intruders by hand or use tools, but we can't touch endangered species. Fortunately, we can use a snake repellant that produces an unattractive scent to deter protected snakes. We'll spread the product around the perimeter of your yard and home to keep them away.

During our inspection of your property, we'll look for possible attractants and advise you on how to keep these pests away. Let us know if you want to get rid of snakes on your Saint Johns property.

Common Types Of Cockroaches Found Around Saint Johns Properties

Cockroaches cause fewer problems than some creatures but are among the most troublesome to find on your property. These insects pick up potentially dangerous pathogens in unsanitary environments and spread them on surfaces in your home. They hide in hard-to-see places and only come out at night, making them difficult to discover. If you see these pests during the day, overcrowding has likely forced them into the open.

Multiple species of cockroaches infest Saint Johns properties, causing problems for residents. The most effective removal techniques depend on the species, so eradication begins with identification. Fortunately, the species have unique characteristics that enable residents to tell them apart. The common types of cockroaches around Saint Johns include:

• German cockroaches are light brown to tan and have two dark stripes across their backs.
• American cockroaches are reddish-brown and have a figure-eight pattern on the backs of their heads.

• Florida wood cockroaches are dark brown to black, with tooth-like projections protruding from the front of their bodies.
