Snake Management Service
Vector inspection guidelines: Inspection for snakes typically involves visually scanning areas where snakes may hide or seek shelter, such as tall grass, woodpiles, rock formations, and dark, secluded spaces. Additionally, monitoring devices such as snake traps or cameras can be used to detect snake activity in hard-to-reach areas. It's essential to have knowledge of snake behavior and preferred habitats to effectively conduct inspections and mitigate potential encounters.
Tools for inspection: One common inspection tool for detecting snake activity is a snake hook, which allows inspectors to safely lift objects or move vegetation to check for hidden snakes. Additionally, snake tongs can be used to safely capture and relocate snakes encountered during inspections. For monitoring snake movements, motion-activated cameras can be deployed in areas of concern. Snake traps, such as glue boards or funnel traps, can also be set up to capture snakes for removal or relocation.
