It's a know fact that snakes kill more people each year than lions or tigers do... The statistics keep increasing every year especially in Africa.
This is a bad stat and a scary one too. There's need for awareness!
These creeping assassins can cause you great pain when they sting you and their fangs also release venoms that can cause blindness too.

There are some snakes who have enough venom to kill an elephant within hours

Snakes naturally live in the forest but unfortunately for us, they're gradually finding their way into our homes, farms, workshop etc
One major cause of this migration is excessive heat wave across the world and especially in Africa. Snakes now seek refuge in cooler places and are targeting your homes, cars, etc...
The extreme weather is making snakes agitated and dangerous. Be careful of your snake pets too..

Avoid leaving windows open for too long.
Avoid leaving your front doors open for fresh air in the evenings. You won't hear or see them go inside your house. Sneaky creatures
Check your bed and surrounding before you go to bed.
Keep your house clean and neat. Snakes love dirty place and it provides a good cover for them.
Clear bushes round your house. They attract rats and mice which are the favourite snacks for snakes.
Buy snake repellent powder or chemicals and pour/spray it round your yard. You will definitely decrease the chances of a snake ever visiting your home.

When you see these unwanted visitors, run for your life if you know you're not equipped enough to deal with them. Approach with caution!
Call a professional or an exterminator to help you deal with the snake problem.

Keep your family safe, especially the little ones who run around the yard by having the right knowledge.

Please be careful and do have a wonderful day!!!
