About Snakes
Snakes are reptiles like turtles and lizards. They routinely shed their dry, scaly skin and cannot generate body heat. Snakes have a long body that allows them to crawl, climb and slip into small spaces. Although snakes have no ears, they can feel low frequency vibrations.
Snakes are carnivorous and their prey includes insects, fish, birds, eggs and rodents. Snakes are generally non-aggressive and avoid confrontations. However, if you do experience a snake bite you should seek immediate medical attention without waiting for signs or symptoms of envenomation.
Most of the snakes in the Home Paramount service area are not venomous. In Maryland, for example, there are 27 common species of snakes, 2 of which are venomous – the Northern Copperhead and the Timber Rattlesnake. In Pennsylvania there are 21 native snake species, 3 of which are venomous – the Northern Copperhead, Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake and Timber Rattlesnake. In Virginia, there are approximately 30 native species, 3 of which are venomous – the Northern Copperhead, the Eastern Cottonmouth and the Timber Rattlesnake. It is sometimes possible to determine whether a snake is venomous by the shape of their eyes. If a snake’s eyes are round it is generally not venomous. If a snake’s eyes are elliptical it is possibly venomous.
Home Paramount’s snake services involve exclusion work, trapping and removal. Sometimes, snakes are a secondary infestation – snakes may enter homes to follow food sources such as rodents or insects. Home Paramount also offers professional pest controls services to address the entire problem.
