There are over 40 species of snakes in Georgia. Only 6 species are venomous and harmful to humans. The rattle snakes (timber, diamond, and pygmy), cotton mouths or water moccasins, copperheads, and coral snakes. All other species of snakes are relatively harmless to humans. Snakes vary in size and color and even snakes in the same family can differ in colorations and markings, which makes identifying them difficult. Snakes are very beneficial to the environment by feeding on and controlling insect and rodent populations. The best thing to do if you encounter a snake is to move away slowly and give the snake a way out. Most incidents happen when people try to kill a snake or get to close. The most common snake found in and around human structures is the rat snake. They are excellent climbers and will follow the scents of rodents into a structure. Snakes are usually considered a nuisance due to people’s fear of the animal. They become a nuisance when their living in the attic or crawl space or under a deck, found in the swimming pool, or seen in the yard or on your property. Snakes can be hand removed by a professional and any entry points excluded to prevent future entry. Information by a professional can be given to alter any property to make it less desirable for snakes to inhabit.
