Keeping Snakes Away from Your Facility

Snakes are attracted to facilities by food sources such as rodents and shelter in landscaping, storage areas, and equipment yards. While many are non-venomous, their presence creates fear for employees and customers, and venomous species pose real safety concerns. LanYap applies professional repellant treatments and addresses the conditions that attract snakes, reducing activity around your property without disrupting operations.

Common Snake Types

  • Copperheads: Copperheads are venomous pit vipers commonly found in wooded areas, brush piles, and along water sources throughout Southeast Texas. They frequently enter commercial properties through gaps in foundations, loading dock areas, and overgrown perimeter vegetation. Their presence near facilities poses serious safety risks for employees working outdoors or in storage areas.

  • Cottonmouth (Water Moccasin): Cottonmouths are aggressive venomous snakes found near ponds, drainage ditches, and waterways common across Gulf Coast industrial properties. Facilities near bayous, retention ponds, or flood-prone areas are particularly vulnerable. Employee encounters near outdoor work areas can result in serious bites requiring immediate medical attention.

  • Rat Snakes: Non-venomous but commonly encountered in warehouses, storage facilities, and industrial buildings where rodent activity is present. Rat snakes are attracted to facilities with existing rodent populations and can enter through small gaps in structures.

  • Texas Rat Snake: A frequent visitor to commercial and industrial properties across Southeast Texas, often found in wall voids, attics, and storage areas. Their presence typically indicates an underlying rodent problem that needs to be addressed.

    Our Approach — Snake Prevention: LanYap provides commercial snake prevention services using professional-grade snake repellent treatments applied to facility perimeters, entry points, and high-risk areas. Our targeted approach creates a barrier that deters snakes from entering your property and surrounding grounds. We do not offer snake removal — if a snake is currently on your property please contact your local wildlife authority.
