We're often asked what kind of gate can keep rattlesnakes from coming down a driveway. For residential properties, this is relatively easy, as most gates in these situations are the type that we can modify with our rattlesnake fencing and exclusion services. For large properties, several acres, or more, that is often not an option. It's often suggested that installing a cattle guard could keep rattlesnakes away, but it's not that easy. For every rattlesnake that is unable to cross it, the pit and shelter opportunity offered by aging grates could actually become an attractant. The best thing to do in this instance is to make sure that the fence line is always free of debris and brush, and possibly look into drift-fence solutions made for industrial-scale projects. In all cases, keeping your driveway and the areas around it as clear of brush and stuff that could offer a place to hide is the best way to keep them away.

Sometimes! It doesn't happen very much though. We have seen a handful of rattlesnakes climbing in bushy trees to get over a fence, and know that some species will climb trees in the wild for a variety of reasons. This doesn't mean that you need to worry about them dropping out of the branches, but it does mean that you should keep the bushes near your fence nice and trim. The speed of the strike can vary due to a number of circumstances. According to on study, the average time a snake takes from a ready position to full extended is just 0.1 seconds, which would be about 136 miles per hour.

Yes. We have relocated 2 species of rattlesnake from the Camelback area and surrounding mountains - in fact speckled rattlesnakes are quite commonly seen throughout the range. It doesn't mean you will ever see one if you hike along the very busy trails, but you should still keep an eye out as you would anywhere else in the desert.

While heavy jeans or pants may help reduce the chances of envenomation by a rattlesnake, they should not be regarded as foolproof protection. Jeans and heavy pants, especially if worn loosely to allow space between the material and the skin, may decrease the odds that a rattlesnake attempting to defensively bite could come in full contact, resulting in potentially less venom delivery. In general, if working or recreating in an area where rattlesnakes are common and other safety measures, like being able to completely see the ground, heavy pants and boots are a good idea.
