Despite your efforts to keep snakes away, you may still find a random, sneaky snake staring at you while you watch TV on the couch. Don’t fret! Call animal control to help you identify and remove it. If it’s determined to be safe, grab some gloves, pick it up and relocate it to its natural habitat. Or use a broom to sweep it out of the house.
You can also use glue-based traps, which are a humane way to get rid of snakes in your home.
