It is no secret that we did not have much of a Spring this year in Florida. It is almost as if it jumped directly into Summer full force. The massive heat wave, the humid air, and the afternoon thunderstorms let us know we are in for a hot one this year. Yes!, Indeed, The Summer is here. We all are aware that the summer brings in many bugs and insects. The hot air that the insects regulate their metabolism from has put them in overdrive. Termites are swarming, Roaches and ants are also having a Heyday.
But what about those cold blooded friends who live around our homes? The Snakes! Those slithering reptiles that all to often have a bad rap. Most homeowners do not jump for joy when seeing snakes. They actually usually run, in the opposite direction, and for good reason.
Although many snakes are harmless, many can also be venomous. No one wants to get close enough to make that determination, nor should anyone. Here in Florida, snakes are in abundance and can pose life threatening danger to homeowners and
their pets as well as family. That is correct, one bite from the wrong snake can end fatally for anyone.
Remember how we discussed that hot weather kicking up the activity for those pesky bugs? Well, the same goes for snakes. That extreme heat also has the snakes
in overdrive. They are much more active, can be more aggressive, and can react at a
much faster rate then when its cooler.
We have compiled a few helpful tips to help you minimize the risk of encountering these scary creatures.
