Where do snakes usually enter a building?
A. Snakes usually enter at ground level through gaps or cracks. These openings can be remarkably small and are created by careless construction, settling of the structure, or by other animals. If you can see daylight through a gap, it is possible that a snake could use that space to access your building. Once in the home, though, they can travel all over the structure by traveling through frame walls, along pipes or between joists and trusses. The one consolation should be that it is more common for non-venomous snakes such as garter snakes and bull snakes to actually access the interior of buildings than for venomous snakes such as rattlesnakes.
