2019-10-08 6:30 PM	Tucson	85718	None	Probable adult Western Diamondback just on other side of privacy fence. Left and crawled towards and into the wash a few minutes before my arrival. A thorough search failed to turn up the snake. Customer`s yard has existing fencing that appears to be a good job, as no apparent entry points were found.
2019-10-09 3:00 PM	Phoenix	85024	None	Last night he found three baby Diamondbacks on his property. His property has a wash right next to it. I searched for additional snakes or a den site but was unable to locate anything.
2019-10-09 4:00 PM	Tucson	85704	None	Snake not found but described as a large Western Diamondback see several times over the past several days. Too many places to hide.
2019-10-13 9:00 AM	Tucson	85641	None	Two young of year Western Diamondbacks killed in backyard in the past week. Call for fence referral. Two gates and one drainage hole are the only entry points seen.
2019-10-14 11:00 AM	New River	85087	None	The hone owners dog was bite 4 days ago. He searched the yard everyday since didn’t find anything but wanted me to scope it out. He has done a DIY snake fence but wants his gates looked at.
2019-10-14 10:30 AM	Tucson	85730	None	Customer called wanting inspection of interior and exterior of treatment facility building. The facility has had 3-4 snakes found inside building where the clients stay. Which is an obvious concern. I did perimeter check first. It’s an old building and some parts are Gradually wearing away. There was 2 large breach areas going into building wall near one of the doors. The Utility closet was completely worn away on bottom and there were several holes around the base of the water heater. I also explained to trim large plants including lantanas. I also told him to be Leary of having bird feeders around property. From the inside I was able to find 2 breaches that would be concerning. 1 was in utility closet and the other in the nurses office. The nurses office breach was connected with the exterior utility closet. Besides breaches I witnessed staff leaving doors open. I explained to Andy that it is a serious concern seeing the employees leaving doors open in such a suitable habitat. No snakes were found but he planned on beginning the projects to help seal the building off immediately. End of report.
2019-10-16 10:30 AM	Oro Valley	85737	None	Customer called about inspection being completed at 2 storage facilities. This first one had found a young rattlesnake inside of building near one of the side entrances under a cart. When I arrived I did a perimeter check for any active snakes. None were found. On the outside I noticed the main plant were lantanas. Lantanas are a common area for rattlesnakes to be found. It was recommended that the plants be removed and a less shady plant be used instead. 3 separate retractable doors were also an issue. Under all of them was a minimum gap of 1/2-3/4 inch gap. Which is more then likely where the young rattlesnake entered from a month back. It was also discussed to continue having pest control out to keep rodent populations down. Behind building near the wash was a pile of rocks near garbage bins. They were not being used and just sitting there creating a good hiding area for a rattlesnake. It was also mentioned that they should fill in gaps underneath large boulders and to ensure drip systems were in good working condition and not letting out excess water. They had recently done some brush clearing behind building. That was a great step in reducing shade. There was 1 exit door that was not of immediate concern, but the weather stripping was beginning to create a gap. End of report.
2019-10-16 12:30 PM	Tucson	85704	None	This was the second of 2 storage facilities that the customer wanted inspected. Although there hadn’t been a rattlesnake sighting for a longer period of time the customer wanted to ensure the safety of her employees and clients by having an inspection conducted there also. On the exterior perimeter check o noticed that there was a large wash system directly below the building. The last snake seen was at a door adjacent to the wash. The buildings had very dense brush like plants that would give great shade corn rattlesnake. It was advised that any plants like that be either removed or continuously trimmed to reduce shade. I also noticed some large holes underneath concrete that air conditioners were sitting on. It was advised to have those deep gaps filled and continue with a pest control company to slow down the snakes food source. Of the 17 doors that were checked only 2 were a concern. Like the first inspection, the retractable door had a large gap underneath. The gentleman who showed me the grounds explained that he has witnessed large lizards able to get in easily. The second door was “ door #6”. This door should be tightened down a bit to ensure nothing is able to get through. No active snakes were found. End of report.
2019-10-16 3:30 PM	Paradise Valley	85253	None	Inspection seen small snake the other day. Looked through the property thoroughly. No snakes were present, wants another inspection next October.
2019-10-17 9:30 AM	Tucson	85715	None	Customer called inquiring about a piece of mind inspection. When I questioned her about it she explained that she heard a rattlesnake last night around 8 pm. When I asked her to explain the sound and situation she did describe a rattlesnake. She was concerned it was still in backyard and wanted me to look around to make sure it was clear for her dogs. I searched the property very thoroughly. I first searched the area she described she heard the noise. The area itself was a wooded fence with holes underneath it leading to an ally which had lots of debris and shade in it. And then also into her neighbors yard which had large oleanders and other assortments of plants. Her yard specifically had little to no shade or hiding places where the incident took place. I also checked other part of yard that was bricked in. The yard was separated by an open viewing gate. And on other side of bricked in yard was another viewing gate. I also looked near the shed that was not enclosed by any fences. It was a distance from the area this took place but seemed like the most suitable area of her yard. The shed had 1/4 inch mesh around the base, but there were large gaps in 2 different places. I told the customer to stay vigilant and to call us if the snake reappears. She was interested in a fencing quote from us. End of report.
2019-10-17 8:30 PM	Anthem	85086	None	Customer contacted hotline about rattlesnake (confirmed) in backyard under tiles. Arrived at 8:05 and inspected entire property twice, found no snake. Customer stated snake last seen at 7:15, wasn’t watched.

2019-10-19 5:00 PM	Scottsdale	85255	None	Customer called hotline (2nd time today) for second rattlesnake. Snake disappeared. Customer interested in routine inspection, but also fencing. Home gigantic, vacant for year and a half

2019-10-20 10:00 AM	Tucson	85641	None	The snake had been hiding and was discovered in a brush pile. Though the area was watched, it was from too great a distance and the snake left unseen. This area is rich in Western Diamondbacks, Blacktails and Tigers.

2019-10-24 8:00 AM	Scottsdale	85255	None	The neighbor saw a rattlesnake in the front yard the day prior. I went out to inspect the yard and did not find any snake, and determined it had moved on. The neighbor was also outside and new to the area, so I inspected his yard as well at no cost.
2019-10-24 9:00 AM	Oro Valley	85737	None	Several snakes seen on the property over the last several weeks. Several sound like kings while another was probably a gopher snake, but the Fire Dept. has also removed several Western Diamondbacks. There is some existing fencing, however it is a half inch mesh and is not the sturdy material that we use. It is my belief that the play areas can be made safe from serpent intruders, but it is an extensive job. Please call to set up a day and time for the fencing estimate. They will send it up to corporate for approval.
2019-10-28 11:30 AM	Sun City	85378	None	The home owner saw the snake 6 days ago. She showed me a video it is a atrox. It was by her front door. She thought she herd it this morning so she called us. I could not find it. I watered out a big rats hole but only the rat came out.

2019-11-16 12:30 PM	Tucson	85715	None	Customer has seen several snakes this year. Two could possibly have been corals. I did find a king snake shed coming from one of numerous rodent burrows. A relatively easy fencing solution as there are two gates and a drainage hole. I suggested he cut a tree back, or down, behind his fence to eliminate it as a possible entry point.

2019-11-07 10:30 AM	Tanque Verde	85749	None	Customer called about seeing small, slender, dark snake in home at between 1-2 in the morning. He wanted the house checked to see if it was still there. I searched all rooms of home and also looking for any small breaches the snake may have come through. I was unable to find the snake and don’t find any breaches that stood out. The customers appreciated all the info provided and the homeowner only really wanted the inspection due to his wives hysteria. End of report.

He has a big rock pile bordering the was and his yard/pool with holes in it. I flooded it but no snakes came out. He is interested in fencing. He already has badly installed 1/2 inch mesh. I showed him that it was ineffective for snakes and he became interested in our fencing.
2019-11-30 9:00 AM	Tucson	85641	None	An easy fencing job as back yard is contained except for one gate and one drainage hole. Customer killed a young Diamondback in the back about a week ago, but believe I convinced him to contact us for future visitors.
2019-12-04 6:30 PM	Tucson	85741	None	A probable adult Western Diamondback that went under a huge cement slab that serves as a basketball court. I was unable to see the snake as there is a large amount of space and burrows underneath. I will try again on Saturday. Two gates and around 20 to 25 open drainage holes. There is possibly an issue with Pima Co. in screening these.
