Why Snake Control is Important in Nairobi
Nairobi and its surrounding counties have several snake species some are non-venomous like the African rock python, while others, such as the black mamba or puff adder, can be extremely dangerous. Snake control is not just about removing a snake that has already entered your property; it’s about creating an environment where snakes are unlikely to return.
Key reasons for snake control:
- Safety: Venomous snake bites can be life-threatening.
- Peace of Mind: Prevent fear and anxiety caused by snake sightings.
- Livestock Protection: On farms, snakes can harm animals and poultry.
- Compliance: Businesses like schools, hotels, and parks must meet safety standards.
Common Snake Species Found in Nairobi and Nearby
- Black Mamba – Highly venomous, fast-moving.
- Puff Adder – Venomous, well camouflaged, often found in grassy areas.
- Spitting Cobra – Venomous, known to spit venom into eyes.
