There are more than 3,000 species of snakes on the planet and they’re found everywhere except in Antarctica, Iceland, Ireland, Greenland, and New Zealand. About 600 species are venomous, and only about 200—seven percent—are able to kill or significantly wound a human.
Nonvenomous snakes, which range from harmless garter snakes to the not-so-harmless python, dispatch their victims by swallowing them alive or constricting them to death. Whether they kill by striking with venom or squeezing, nearly all snakes eat their food whole, in sometimes astoundingly large portions.
Almost all snakes are covered in scales and as reptiles, they’re cold blooded and must regulate their body temperature externally. Scales serve several purposes: They trap moisture in arid climates and reduce friction as the snake moves. There have been several species of snakes discovered that are mostly scaleless, but even those have scales on their bellies.
Snakes directly are not associated with any human health disease however, there presence is a create nuisance and huge risk to human life. Around 81 000 to 138 000 people die each year because of snake bites, and around three times as many amputations and other permanent disabilities are caused by snakebites annually. Snake poop contains salmonella bacteria, and has been linked to severe illness in humans. Salmonella bacteria cause salmonellosis, a type of poisoning responsible for serious gastrointestinal distress and hundreds of fatalities annually.
Snakes are important species for nature balance hence, are covered under Wildlife Protection Act, 1972. So, Preventing them is the key . There are several Preventive steps needed to manage snakes. A designated crack free compund wall for the facility is necessary . Rat control should be done regulary as rat being the major food source for snakes can attract snakes. Avoid scrap and waste pile up within the facility compound as such area provide shelter and food source . Clean unwanted weeds and plant in facility external area so that it ensures minimal hiding space. Ensure entrance areas do not have gaps between door and floor to deny snake entry. Ensure Scrap are discarded on regular basis as long accumulations increases food source for snakes.
Handling snakes can result is fatal life threatning situations hence, try to eliminating them on own is strictly prohibited. Further, since Snakes are protected under wild life act killing snakes is illegal. Secondly even catching snakes cant be done physically by any random person and should be done by a licensed snake catchers only. As a service option various snake repellants chemicals are available however, the effectiveness is purely depends on the environmental conditions . Through these repellants a barrier are created around compound walls and the frequency of service depends on the quality of product . If the barriers gets disturbed manually and due to weather the snakes can still enter from disturbed areas. These chemicals are least effective during Monsoon. Further, if we find a live snake entered inside the facility we need to call immediately a professional snake catcher to get rid of snake as they release them back to the wild life safely without harming them.
Many repellants used by local PCO's are highly toxic and harmful for nature. The Chemical used by us are of high quality and Organic so safe to use. Further, the effectiveness is high as the chemicals gets less effected due to weather condition. It binds with the soil of area treated and gives long lasting effect so require lesser no. of application. Further, we have detailed understanding of snake behaviour ,habitat hence, based on the premises we can provide most effective customised Pest management programme for the same.
