How To Keep Rattlesnakes Out Of The Yard

It’s doable! This is just a bit of what it looks like.

Before and after improvements to this double gate that will prevent rattlesnakes of all ages and sizes from getting into the backyard. Installed by licensed, bonded, insured professionals.

Simple and nearly invisible: this backyard doesn't need to worry about rattlesnakes this year.

This gate has been modified to have no gaps larger enough for even a newborn rattlesnake to get in, without changing its functionality or outward appearance. This is the most critical step, and often overlooked by amateur snake fence installers.

A homeowner came out to water plants and spotted a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake coiled near the hose. The courtyard was surrounded by a wall, with two gates with easy access underneath for an animal that's only an inch tall. This is an example of the kind of encounter that can be prevented by a rattlesnake fence with a relatively easy adjustment.

Rattlesnake fencing is hard to see, and easy to forget about. It's one of those things that you don't really know is working, then just realize one day that it's been years since you saw a rattlesnake in the yard.

Rattlesnake fencing can create a protected space where you and your pets can live safely, surrounded by the natural environment, but not in conflict with it. Here's one we recently completed.

While out in the front yard, a homeowner saw this Western Diamondback Rattlesnake move into the neighbors' yard. The snake was trying to find some shade, and was unable to get into the couryard due to rattlesnake fencing that we'd installed at both properties. Instead, it got a ride to a shaded spot in the desert.

Rattlesnake fencing installed correctly, with a few little tricks that help keep rodents from digging under, ensuring the full perimeter is protected as it needs to be.

A recently completed rattlesnake fence installation. From a short distance, it's more or less invisible. The best indication of this are the people who routinely comment on photos like this to say things like "wont work snake can crawl right through it". Thanks for making our point.
