Due to heatwave and high temperature which result in weather changes, snakes tend to seek refugee in cooler places like homes and garden.
The heat makes snakes highly active, agitated and angry, and they are very fast. These are some safety tips that to avoid snake attack this season;
1. Clear bushes round your house, as these attracts rats and mice which are favourite food for most dangerous snakes.
2. Buy and use snake repellant powder round your house. This will decrease the chance of snake visiting your home by 90%.
3. Avoid leaving windows and doors open for too long. Most snakes can reach high heights and are stealthy (you wont hear them entering your house)
4. Avoid staying outside the house with mat, mattresses and wrappers in the evening (late hours). Most reptiles hunt at night and effective at that.
5. Be aware of your surroundings when resting outside as not only snakes might bite you, but also fast and vernomous animals like centipede
6. Check your bed and surroundings before going to sleep. Cobras are notorious for hiding under bed sheets.
Beware of confronting snakes that get into your home. Some snakes can be easily killed while others like the Black Mamba can be very tricky, if thraetened they tend to chase and attack at alarming speed and at the same time bite the victim, which might lead to death if not treated within the next 40 minutes.
