A Lot of Snakes at One Tucson Home

Some great examples of our snake fence team at work.

While arriving for an install, Josh conducted a thorough pre-inspection and found a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake sitting in ambush near the fence line. He safely secured it in a bucket, gave it some water, and kept it in the shade until the job was complete. Afterward, he released it into a nearby wash with a deep cave that provided suitable cover within its estimated home range. Later that day, Mike came across a California Kingsnake cruising along the newly installed mesh from the outside. To prevent it from getting trapped during the second day of work, Josh relocated it to a nearby area with a partially buried board and active rodent sign. Before release, he removed a cholla spine from its lower jaw, hopefully relieving some discomfort, and placed it back into suitable habitat within its estimated home range.

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:
