What to do when faced with a snake
When encountering a snake, it's crucial to remain calm and not panic. Avoid handling the snake yourself and call professional help if necessary.
According to Rentokil, here are the following steps an individual should take when they come into close contact with a snake:
Evacuate your family, pets, elderly, and young by keeping them away. If the snake is trapped in tight spaces, seek professional help immediately. Avoid sudden movements that might startle the snake and move slowly in the opposite direction. If a snake bite occurs, seek medical attention and keep the person calm while waiting for help. Remembering the snake's appearance can help identify potential poisoning risks.
