Can House Pets Protect Your Property From Snakes?
That’s a good question. First of all, it is important to mention that no house pet will protect your property from snakes unless you train them to do that. Pets can be trained to fight snakes but that puts them at a great risk of getting killed by snakes. Dogs and cats will sometimes patrol your property for snakes, but not all of the time. You can’t rely on your cats and dogs when it comes to snake control. Mongooses are actually only pets that you can allow to catch and kill snakes because these animals have the hunt for snakes in their blood.
