A towel can be placed under the door to reduce the chance of the snake moving into another part of the house. Trying to kill or capture the snake yourself can actually increase the risk of being bitten, especially if the animal becomes frightened or feels trapped.<\/p>\n<p>For most indoor snake encounters, animal control or a professional wildlife removal service is the best option. This is especially important if the snake is large, difficult to reach, or suspected to be venomous. After it has been removed, inspect the home for possible entry points such as foundation cracks, gaps around pipes, spaces beneath doors, open vents, or poorly sealed windows. Reducing rodents, clutter, tall grass, and piles of wood or debris can also make your property less attractive to snakes.<\/p>\n<p>Most snakes are not looking for a confrontation with people\u2014they are usually searching for food, shelter, or a safe place to hide.
