This is one of the most dangerous situations we can deal with – a rattlesnake caught in plastic bird netting. We use tools like the snake tube, shown in the photos, to carefully keep the pointy end of the snake restrained while we can cut away the mesh.
Also in the photo: the bones of snakes who weren’t so lucky. This isn’t only a dangerous situation for us and the snakes, but homeowners and their pets who may end up catching a rattlesnake that would otherwise have left the area. We highly recommend using rigid materials for bird control.
