How often is the snake removal activity log updated?

The snake removal activity log is updated in real-time as our certified technicians complete snake removal services across Arizona. All entries are verified and published after service completion.

Why are exact addresses not shown in the snake activity log?

We protect homeowner privacy by showing only city and zip code information. This allows you to understand snake activity in your general area while maintaining client confidentiality.

What should I do if I see frequent snake removal activity in my zip code?

If your area shows regular snake removal activity, consider rattlesnake proofing your property with snake fencing. Snake fencing creates a physical barrier that prevents snakes from entering your yard. Contact us for a property inspection and snake fence consultation.

How effective is snake fencing?

Snake fencing, also known as rattlesnake proofing, is highly effective when properly installed. Our snake fence systems are designed specifically to prevent rattlesnakes and other snakes from entering your property. The fence must be installed correctly with proper height, materials, and ground contact to be effective.

What areas does the snake removal activity log cover?

The log covers all areas where we provide snake removal services, including Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tucson, Mesa, Chandler, Glendale, Tempe, and surrounding Arizona communities. You can filter by zip code to see activity in your specific area.

Can snake fencing be installed on any property?

Most properties can accommodate snake fencing. During a property inspection, our experts will assess your property's layout, terrain, and specific needs to design an effective snake fence solution. Rattlesnake proofing can be customized for residential, commercial, and HOA properties.

What types of snakes are included in the activity log?

The log primarily shows rattlesnake removal activities, including Western Diamondback Rattlesnakes, Mojave Rattlesnakes, and other rattlesnake species found in Arizona. The species is identified in each entry to help you understand what types of snakes are active in your area.

Is snake fencing maintenance required?

Yes, snake fencing requires periodic maintenance to remain effective. Regular inspections ensure the fence remains intact, properly sealed at ground level, and free of gaps. We offer snake fence maintenance and renewal services to keep your rattlesnake proofing system functioning optimally.

Date/Time	City	Zip	Species	Service Notes
2020-07-20 10:00 PM	Sun City	85373	Western Diamondback Rattlesnake	Right in front of garage Arrived and found sub adult diamondback cornered between garage and gate. Captured and removed to area outside of neighborhood
2020-09-19 8:00 AM	Sun City	85373	Mojave Rattlesnake	The customer called about a rattlesnake in the garage. Found Mojave rattlesnake climbing gym equipment. Captured and removed, advised customers to seek gaps in the garage.
2021-10-26 7:30 AM	Sun City	85373	Western Diamondback Rattlesnake	Western diamondback sound in cat run, homeowner stepped on it and didn’t get it. Likely seeking shelter from cold temps.
2024-08-01 11:00 AM	Sun City	85351	Mojave Rattlesnake	The snake was in the gated courtyard by a little fish pond up against the house. It had shed its skin there as well so may have been there a few days. The home backs up to the river bottom. They have a block fence and part view fence in areas.
2025-03-25 8:00 PM	Sun City	85375	Western Diamondback Rattlesnake	Customer found diamondback moving outside his door as he walked out to enjoy the nice weather. The snake likely entered through a decent sized gap in the retaining wall in the backyard the leads to open desert.
2025-06-13 12:00 PM	Sun City	85351	Mojave Rattlesnake	Called and stated that two of four dogs were bit last night by a snake. Wants to verify no snake is in the yard.
2025-06-22 7:30 AM	Sun City	85373	Western Diamondback Rattlesnake	Dispatched to a call in Peoria/Sun City for a snake in a backyard. While speaking to the customer on the phone, she reported that she was watering her plants when she noticed a coiled “diamondback” underneath one of them. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the customer and led into the east-facing backyard, where she pointed out the snake’s location. I observed a juvenile Western Diamondback Rattlesnake (Crotalus atrox) in an ambush position underneath a hibiscus with a drip line. I used large tongs to safely capture the snake and place it in a bucket without incident. The snake may have been sleeping, as it did not rattle at any point. The customer stated that she first saw the snake in the same spot where I captured it, while watering that particular plant. She mentioned that she normally does not hand-water that plant but decided to do so this morning. She also reported that the snake did not rattle or move; she simply noticed it lying there. I conducted an inspection of the rest of the backyard and found no additional snakes. There is a catwalk running to the south of the property from the street to a community pond located east of the home. One small portion of the fence has chicken wire attached. I pointed this area out to the customer and offered a free fencing quote, which they accepted. This house is in an unusual location for C. atrox activity, as it is in the interior of the neighborhood, with approximately five rows of houses in every direction before reaching any desert habitat. I noted that the neighborhood is enclosed by solid block walls with no obvious drainage holes, and is bordered by two main roads to the north and west. For a snake to reach this property from natural desert, it would have to travel a considerable distance. While not impossible, this seems unlikely. Given the estimated age of the snake, I suspect it may have been born somewhere within the neighborhood and has managed to survive there for a little over a year. I do not believe the snake had been in the yard for long, as I saw no signs of denning. I believe it may have entered the yard from either the north or south side via drainage gaps or a gate. The customers stated they have never seen a snake in the 10 years they have owned the home. Considering the home’s location, I do not think it is unreasonable to assume this may have been the first snake to enter their yard.
2025-09-10 6:30 AM	Sun City	85373	Nightsnake	The homeowner woke up to her living room being a mess from her cat. She noticed her cat trying to catch something then saw it was a snake. She put a trash bin over it not knowing what it was. It was a nightsnake and was not harmed by the cat. The doors were all sealed well but she does leave the back patio open sometimes for the cat. She lives off a golf course and has a little desert behind her .
2025-09-30 10:30 AM	Sun City	85351	Western Diamondback Rattlesnake	Rattlesnake in bush Houses in this area have no walls and are completely exposed for animals to free roam. This house has a small area in back that has a gate around it.
2026-03-02 6:00 PM	Sun City	85373	Western Diamondback Rattlesnake	The homeowner\'s son was jumping on his trampoline when he noticed a rattlesnake coiled up nearby. He calmly alerted his parents who then called us to remove the snake. The brick wall around the back yard was the only thing separating the home from the very large Agua Fria riverbed. There was plenty of dense, overgrown landscaping, stacks of wood and brick, and easy access to the front yard. The snake could have very likely spent the winter sheltered somewhere on the property. I did a thorough search but did not find any other snakes.
2026-03-27 9:30 AM	Sun City	85351	Mojave Rattlesnake	The homeowner went to take out his trash last night and spotted the snake under his trash can. This is an underground trash can, so he was just under the lid. This morning he still spotted the snake under the lid so he gave us a call. It started to heat up in that time the snake must have tried to get into some deeper cover and it fell into the trash can, so it could not get out at that point. I was able to grab it and save a gecko that fell in as well. The home was right by a drainage that leads to the open river bottom.
2026-04-17 9:00 AM	Sun City	85251	Mojave Rattlesnake	The homeowners pest person spotted the snake coiled by the back door and informed the homeowner. The snake was coiled right next to a lantana in a pot that had a quail and her eggs in it. I’m not sure if the snake was aware of mom or not. The home didn’t have much cover in the yard but was really close to the dry river bottom.
2026-06-13 6:30 AM	Stanfield	85172	Western Diamondback Rattlesnake	The homeowner called stating there was a rattlesnake coiled up in her barn. When I arrived the home was located in a vast agricultural community, the snake was coiled up in the shaded open horse barn where the homeowner found it during feeding. The snake was bucketed and driven away from all other homes and private agricultural land to as nearby a natural habitat as possible a wash containing heavy amounts of natural trees and shrubs I found a deep shaded root system with holes going into it for the snake to get deep cover.
2019-03-07 1:30 PM	Sierra Vista	85650	Western Diamondback Rattlesnake	Customer called about rattlesnake sitting above there outdoor tortoise burrow area on a rock. Once I arrived snake remained in same area. The snake was removed and relocated without any incident. End of report.
2019-10-04 1:00 PM	Sierra Vista	85615	None	Customer had concern of area he loved at because of a few rattlesnake encounters he has had since moving in, in September. He wanted through inspection of his 3.58 acres, common walled in area and garage. I started in walled area. While I was inspecting I also photographed his gates and drainage holes to send to Jill for fencing info. No finds. There was very minimal amount of work needed to do in backyard. The acreage I surveyed had very tall brush. So I used transects experience and paced back and forward to front and of property line. I did find a couple snake skins but no active snake encounters. The garage last night had a rattlesnake in it, but this morning he had the fire department come out and catch the snake. Which was a Mojave rattlesnake. For the estimate the customer will need both gates done. 1 single and a double gate. He had a total of 9 drainage holes. 6 standard, 2 horizontal and narrow holes and 1 double hole. Also noticed 2 breaches in concrete wall. 1 on side near gate and the other near a drainage hole. The customer appreciated that we were able to go that south and had pleasant experience. End of report
2021-09-18 9:30 AM	Sedona	86336	Blacktailed Rattlesnake	Received a call that a rattlesnake had been captured and placed in a snap top bucket by a neighbor. After driving to the location I learned the homeowner had put some small breathing holes in the lid of the bucket. Upon safely removing the lid the species was determined to be a Blacktailed Rattlesnake. Shortly thereafter the snake was relocated further along the same mountain the homeowners property resided under a concealed rocky overhang. Increased activity due to recent monsoon rains could potentially explain the snakes presence.

After taking a closer look, they noticed there were two: a coachwhip and a rattlesnake literally right next to each other. Karen also had snake fencing that was installed by the previous owner. Upon inspection, i noticed many areas where rats dug under that potentially created an entryway for the snakes.
