## Frequently Asked Questions
### Q: Is snake removal safe?
A: Snake handling is dangerous and rules vary by location and species. Keep people and pets away, do not handle the snake, and verify that any provider has the legally required training, permits, equipment, and insurance.

### Q: How much does snake removal cost?
A: Standard snake removal: $150-$300. Venomous snake removal: $200-$500. Snake exclusion (fencing, sealing): $1,000-$3,000. Emergency nighttime/weekend response: $250-$400 plus removal fee. Free phone consultations to identify the snake first.

### Q: What do you do with the snake after removal?
A: Snakes are relocated to appropriate, uninhabited habitat at least 1 mile away — or further if state regulations require. All relocation follows state wildlife laws. Snakes are not killed unless they pose an immediate threat and relocation is impossible.

### Q: How can I tell if a snake is venomous?
A: Don't try to identify it yourself — take a photo from a safe distance if possible. In the US, venomous snakes include rattlesnakes (rattle on tail), copperheads (hourglass pattern), cottonmouths (white mouth interior), and coral snakes (red touches yellow). When in doubt, assume it's venomous and call for professional removal.

### Q: Will snake repellents work?
A: Most commercial snake repellents (mothballs, sulfur, ultrasonic devices) have little to no scientific support for effectiveness. The only proven method is habitat modification: remove hiding spots, control rodent populations, and install physical barriers. Snake-proof fencing is 90%+ effective when properly installed.

### Q: Why do snakes come onto my property?
A: Three reasons: food (rodents, frogs, insects), shelter (cool dark spaces), and water. If you have a rodent problem, you'll eventually have a snake problem. Our integrated approach addresses all three attractants.
