We perform onsite,
non-emergency inspections of properties, interiors, grounds,
crawlspaces and attics for commercial, government and residential
clients.
Our Interior Residential Site-Service Consists of Six Steps:
Our service includes a
thorough, comprehensive inspection and evaluation of the site stipulated
in the contract.
The systematic location,
capture and removal of any physically accessible snakes found
in the service area. Please note that by physically accessible
we mean any snake that can be reached without resorting to structural or
appliance disassembly, excavation or the use of demolition or pyrotechnics
(and yes, we've actually been asked to do all of these, though of course, we
declined).
The completion of the site
diagnostic step begun during our telephone service consultation. 99%
of our caseload can be sub-classified into one of the following types of
snake activity: 1) itinerant or anomalous, 2) sporadic and 3) chronic.
Preventive or reductive
measures. This section is also called the identification of
species-specific points of attractiveness. There are over 115
species of snakes and countless sub-species of snakes recognized by the
scientific community as living in the United States alone. They have
different requirements, eat different types of prey and may even reproduce
differently. We will determine if there are points of attractiveness
present in or around the home that would serve to either attract or serve
to sustain a given population of snakes. Your prompt removal of
these points of attractiveness or your modification of those which cannot
be removed will deprive snakes of a motive to remain there with you.
Identification of existing
or developing points of access or entry leading into structures. Since the
abilities of different species of snakes vary greatly (some are great
climbers others - from the back of the remedial climbing class, are less
so) and since it is often the species of snake which determines the
openings most likely to be used, you can imagine how many openings are
overlooked by laypersons and by the various problem generalist who
momentarily insert themselves into our field. We will identify
openings usable by snakes (90% of which can be filled by the average
homeowner without having to hire a contractor). Keeping doors closed
is not a bad idea either.
A detailed familiarization brief. Peace of mind and more precisely
it's absence is why most of our clients initially contact us. Our
familiarization brief is designed to enable a layperson to gain a better
understanding of the snakes in their areas. How to distinguish the
species with the capacity to inflict enormous medical costs and serous
threats to the health of loved ones from those that are not only benign
but (when found outside one's home) are often quite beneficial to
humanity. We have often been told that this part of our service
alone is will worth the cost. This goes a long way toward getting
domestic harmony back on track in the vast majority of our cases.
Some people, especially those whose snake encounters also involved either a bed
or a commode, appear to take somewhat longer than others to be fully at
ease in their homes again. Being supportive of them - even by doing
little things, like keeping one's belts picked up off the bedroom floor,
seems to go along way towards getting back on track.

Our knowledge, time, and
experience are our inventory. In a slow year we get 5,000 calls.
it takes at least 15 to 20 minutes to provide a
Service Consultation to every caller
we talk with. Costly experience has taught us we simply cannot
talk to everyone. The only way for us to know that we are
talking to someone who is serious about addressing their snake concern
is by charging a Service Consultation fee of $45 dollars. Those
who place value on their time become our clients. You will be
talking with someone with at least 25 year of experience in working
with snakes.
We will even apply the
Service Consultation fee towards the cost of the Site Service provided
that we receive your faxed Service Contract within two business days
of the Service Consultation. Should someone decide not to use
our Site Service and they have not sent in their service contract,
then the $45 Service Consultation fee is all that is ever charged.
This has enabled us to avoid raising our rates since 1996.
