Snakes can be very scary, but, in general, they are harmless. Of the 25 or so species of snakes in Colorado, only a few are venomous. Here are some tips for living with snakes.
Although most snakes are harmless, venomous snake bites can be deadly, so it’s important to be able to identify the poisonous varieties found in Colorado. Look for these characteristics:
If you don’t know whether a snake is venomous or not, don’t disturb it to try to get a better look. In general, snakes will warn before biting, but if they feel threatened, they can strike.
If you can, just not interfering with snakes is the best approach. Snakes can be beneficial, eating insect and rodent pests like mice and gophers. So if you can let snakes go about their business without troubling them at all, you’ll benefit in the long run.
If you don’t want snakes to live around your home, it’s important to change the environment to make your yard inhospitable to them. This means:
Most snakes will take the hint and move on.

Ronnie came out and completed an inspection in our home. He gave us good news that we did not have an insect problem. He was very knowledgeable, courteous and professional. Although they typically do not deal with our particular problem, they were willing to do an inspection and point us in the right direction. The gal in the office went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. Thank you!
