**Understanding Venomous Snakes in Georgia**
While many Atlanta residents have concerns about snakes, it's essential to recognize that only six out of over 50 snake species in Georgia are venomous. These include the Eastern Coral Snake, Copperhead, Cottonmouth or Water Moccasin, Pygmy Rattlesnake, Timber Rattlesnake, and Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake.
**Snake Diet and Habitat**
Snakes play a vital role in controlling pest populations. They have diverse diets, with some species preferring rodents and birds, while others consume amphibians or fish. Large land-dwelling snakes may eat rodents, lizards, and other snakes, contributing to natural pest control.
**Factors Attracting Snakes to Properties**
Snakes are attracted to properties that offer suitable food and shelter. Natural surroundings like rock piles, streams, and swamps can attract snakes. Understanding these attractive features can help homeowners take proactive measures to deter snakes from their properties.
**Preventing Snake Entry and Deterrence**
To prevent snakes from entering homes, it's crucial to seal any potential entry points, as snakes and rodents can access spaces as small as a quarter. Professional inspections can identify and address these vulnerabilities effectively.
While some people use mothballs as a snake deterrent, this method is ineffective and potentially harmful. Instead, focus on removing food sources and hiding places for rodents, as they attract snakes. Specialized repellents can also be applied to deter snakes and rodents effectively.
**Dealing with Snakes Indoors**
Encountering snakes indoors can be distressing for some people. It's essential not to harm these snakes, as they may be present due to an underlying rodent issue. After safely removing the snakes, identifying and sealing entry points is crucial to prevent future intrusions.
