Rattlesnake Under a Package


The homeowner went to grab this package when she noticed something didn’t look quite right. Not sure how she managed to spot the snake sitting there next to it, but she did. Instead of getting any closer, she quickly shut the door and called us to come take a look. When we arrived the snake was still right where she had seen it. The home sits right next to a desert drainage that leads out to a larger stretch of open desert about half a mile away, which makes it easy for snakes to move through the area. After safely securing the snake, we relocated it to suitable habitat along that drainage where it could quickly disappear back into the desert. Scottsdale.

Snake Fenced Gate

A tight installation of rattlesnake prevention materials to this patio gate from Daylan and Elias. It’s a shady spot by design, which can’t be ignored by wildlife that are also looking to get out of the heat. Covered patios emulate natural locations where rattlesnakes can naturally be found aestivating during the summer, and snake fencing is an effective way of making sure there are no surprises.

Snake Fencing Works Better Than You’d Think

– No gaps larger than a baby rattlesnake = no baby rattlesnakes are getting in here.

– No access lower than how high the largest rattlesnakes in the area can go = no adult rattlesnakes are getting in here.

Rattlesnake fencing works when installed correctly. If a rattlesnake-free summer is in your plans for 2026, let’s talk about it. More information on Rattlesnake Fencing:

Two Rattlesnakes in a Garage

On January 8, a cleaning crew was visiting a home near Tucson and noticed a small Western Diamondback Rattlesnake hiding out behind a metal panel. Dave went out to capture it, and knew to search the garage for others, as winter-time rattlesnake sightings are often not single-snake events. Sure enough, he found another as well. He then relocated them to a carefully selected site that has the qualities necessary to be a replacement den to spend the rest of the winter safely.

Rattlesnakes Can Be Found At Assisted Living Facilities in Phoenix

A Western Diamondback Rattlesnake was seen in the bushes near the front patio of a unit at an assisted living community. The complex is surrounded on all sides by native habitat, and we are called to visit several times each year. Cheyenne helped the snake find a similar location, a packrat nest, elsewhere.
