6 Top Signs There Are Snakes in Your Yard

While snakes play an important role in the ecosystem, it’s understandable to want to know if they’re residing in your yard. Here are six top signs that might indicate the presence of snakes:

1. Snake Skins
   • Finding shed snake skins is a clear indicator of snake presence.
   • The texture and pattern can help identify the species.
2. Slither Tracks
   • Look for S-shaped patterns in loose soil or mulch.
   • These tracks are especially visible after rain.
3. Unusual Pet Behavior
   • Dogs or cats acting unusually alert or barking/hissing at specific areas.
   • Pets may sense snakes before you see them.
4. Disappearing Rodents
   • A sudden decrease in rodent activity could mean a predator (like a snake) is present.
5. Snake Droppings
   • Snake feces are tubular and may have a white cap of urea.
   • Often mistaken for bird droppings but larger.
6. Visual Sightings
   • The most obvious sign: actually seeing a snake.
   • Pay attention to areas like rock piles, woodpiles, or dense vegetation.

Remember, most snakes are harmless and beneficial for pest control. If you suspect snakes in your yard, it’s best to contact a professional for safe removal if necessary.
