Rattlesnakes are a critical, and underappreciated, member of our local ecosystem. Indiscriminately killing rattlesnakes causes massive instability in both the predator and prey populations, leading to years in which there are explosive growth in rattlesnake populations. Living peacefully with the rattlesnakes is important not only for the ecosystem, but indiscriminate killing is putting evolutionary pressure on the rattlesnake population to NOT RATTLE; rather than warning us of their presence, their better survival strategy is to remains still and motionless, which leads to more snakebites. If you encounter a rattlesnake in an inconvenient location, give us a call and we will come relocate the snake for you.
