If you’ve spotted a snake on your property, heard rumors in your neighborhood, or are situated near a bushy area, stream, or farmland our expert team is ready to respond fast and help you reclaim your space.
What Is Snake Control?
Snake control is a proactive approach to detect, repel, and manage snake activity around your property. It combines thorough inspection, habitat modification, removal techniques, and deterrent solutions. Our goal isn’t just to eliminate the current snake but to prevent future occurrences by addressing why they came in the first place.
Why You Shouldn’t Ignore Snakes
Ignoring a snake issue can have serious consequences:
- Venomous snakes, like puff adders or cobras, can cause fatal bites.
- Non-venomous snakes may still frighten residents and disrupt daily life.
- Snakes often follow their prey, usually rodents, which could indicate another underlying pest problem.
- Some species are aggressive when cornered and may attempt to enter houses or hide under furniture, appliances, or in sheds.
Snake presence is also a health and safety hazard for children, pets, and farm workers. In some cases, snakebites can result in hospitalization, permanent injury, or even death.
Common Signs You Have Snakes
Snakes are stealthy, but they often leave behind signs of their presence. Look out for:
- Shed snake skin near fences, foundations, or crawlspaces
- Slithering tracks in dusty or muddy areas
- Snake droppings, which may contain hair and bone fragments
- Unusual behavior from pets, especially barking or whining near specific areas
- Sudden disappearance of rodents or frogs
If you’ve noticed any of these signs, contact Rafiki Pest Control Rwanda for a site assessment.
How We Handle Snake Control
Our approach to snake control is comprehensive and environmentally mindful:
1. Property Inspection
Our team begins with a full walk-through of your property. We look for:
- Snake trails and entry points
- Rodent activity (as prey attract snakes)
- Rock piles, wood stacks, and other hiding spots
- Drainage areas and moist zones that attract frogs and snakes
2. Snake Removal (If Present)
If a snake is found during inspection, we use safe tools and humane methods to capture and relocate the snake far from human settlement. Our team is trained in handling both venomous and non-venomous snakes.
3. Exclusion and Habitat Modification
We seal common entry points, recommend changes to your landscaping, and clear debris to reduce snake hiding areas. This step includes:
- Trimming overgrown vegetation
- Removing woodpiles and stone heaps
- Fixing broken vents or doors
- Ensuring proper waste management to reduce rodent prey
4. Snake Repellents and Deterrents
We apply eco-friendly snake repellents around your compound. These substances have strong scents or chemical properties that discourage snakes from returning without harming pets or children.
5. Follow-Up Monitoring
We check back regularly for new signs of snake activity. Long-term success requires observation and adjustment, especially during hot months when snakes are more active.
Where Snake Control Is Essential
Snake control is crucial in:
- Residential estates near bushy or water-logged zones
- Schools and playgrounds
- Construction sites
- Farms, especially with poultry or rodents
- Warehouses and storage facilities
- Tourist lodges and camps
- Factories and outdoor industries
Anywhere with vegetation, rodents, or stagnant water may attract snakes.
