Most HOAs are happy to work with us to make sure you can protect your yard from rattlesnakes. That includes being able to easily take down the fencing for painting, and putting it back up. Our installation methods make this easy. https://rattlesnakesolutions.com/keep-snakes-away/snake-fence.php
A perfect release spot for the Western Diamondback Rattlesnake captured by Manny in Peoria the other day. Packrat nests are important habitat for rattlesnakes throughout the year.
Another Scottsdale snake :) Pool equipment areas are one of the hot spots during the spring ... which usually means they've been there all winter, too.
Dave caught this little Sonoran Gophersnake the other day in Tucson. For information about why we sometimes relocate harmless snakes: https://rattlesnakesolutions.com/snakeblog/rattlesnake-solutions/why-relocate-harmless-snakes/
With spring emergence in full swing, rattlesnakes are busy looking for food, mates, and that puts them into conflict with people. This one, relocated by Dave in Tucson, was thankfully captured and moved to this packrat nest.
A late-night call sent Manny to Cave Creek to capture this Western Diamondback Rattlesnake by the trashcans.
Old hot tub? I think you mean free rattlesnake apartment. Derek handled this tricky situation in Tucson recently between Rattlesnake Fence estimates.
This snake was found while a family was doing some spring cleaning. It was coiled up at the bottom of their wood pile.
A homeowner in North Scottsdale tossed this storage bin over a large Western Diamondback to keep him from going anywhere until Greg could relocate him safely. * We don't recommend doing this
Rattlesnake Greg removed from a Scottsdale residence over this past weekend. This one was found getting some sun on the back patio.
These two Western Diamondback Rattlesnakes were mating when Greg arrived to capture them. In these situations, we are careful to release them together, and hope they can pick up where they left off somewhere else.
We got a call around 10pm to catch a "baby rattlesnake", which we know is local slang for Desert Nightsnake :) Greg went to the home and found this little one under a pillow.
