QFD posted on their Facebook page, "This is a GOOD snake. Bull snakes are often mistaken for rattlesnakes due to color. They can hiss and act like rattlesnakes and use it as de- fense. Their heads are different shaped than rattlesnakes (round and same size as neck not triangle with a smaller neck) and they don't have rattles. They will kill rattle- snakes and pests. This one was just over 4 feet. " QFD reminded residents: "If you see any snake on your property give us a call and we'll come out." Help keep snakes away from your home with the following tips: • Eliminate rodents — a snake's pre- ferred food source — from around your home. • Move woodpiles and throw out junk from your yard to remove potential homes for snakes and their prey. • Erecting a wall will deter snakes from entering your yard. Solid walls 4 feet high with a 4-inch lip an- gling outward will discourage most snakes. Sink the bottom of the wall into the ground. Fill any tunnels burrowed by rodents. • Install gates snug against the ground. • Keep walkways clear of brush. •Light pathways around your home. Snakes are out! 6 tips to keep home safe ����� | C������� QFD If the snake is determined to be poi- sonous and it is located inside your home or garage, or at the entrance to your home, call Quartzsite Fire Department's non-emergency number at 928-927-6556. In either case, be sure to keep track of the snake's movement, so that it can be found and relocated. DEADLINE : WED.
