If the snake is in front of you right now, do not try to catch it or kill it. Get children and pets away, shut it in the room if you can do that without going near it, and call us right away.
Snake control starts with finding out why the snake came: rodents, clutter and hiding places, or openings close to the ground. We seal the entry points, treat the rodents if they are the cause, and clear hiding places from around the property. Incense or a repellent alone is not enough, because the snake will come back as long as it has food and a place to hide.
A long, see-through skin near a boundary wall, in clutter or on the roof. It means a snake passed through.
A winding line in the dust or sand around the garden or on a storeroom floor.
Birds, cats or dogs acting strangely around a certain spot in the garden or storeroom.
Rats and mice are snake food. If you have rodents and your home is close to farmland, the chances go up.
A snake is not looking for you. It is looking for food like rodents and birds, and for a cool or shady place to hide: clutter, piles of wood and bricks, long grass, exposed pipes. That is why ground floors, homes next to farmland or desert, storerooms and farms are the most exposed.
It gets in through openings close to the ground: under a door, through a drain opening or pipe, or through a crack in a boundary wall. It can also come in with things that were stored in the garden and then moved inside.
Egypt has nonvenomous snakes and venomous ones such as the cobra and the viper. You do not need to try to tell them apart yourself. Treat any snake as dangerous until it is gone from the area.
Tell us where the snake is now and whether there are children around, and take a photo from far away if that is safe. We give you the price and the time.
The technician deals with the area once it is secured. Nobody in the household goes near the snake or tries to help.
We look at the openings, rodents and clutter around the house and work out why the snake came.
We seal the openings that can be sealed, treat any rodents, and tell you what needs to be cleared from around the house.
What was done, the name of any product used, and the recommendations to carry out around the house.
If someone is bitten by a snake, go to the nearest hospital immediately, even if the pain is mild. Keep them calm, keep the limb still, and take off rings and watches. Do not cut the wound, do not suck out the venom, do not tie on a tight bandage, and do not wait for symptoms to appear.
Do not try to kill the snake or grab it with a stick. Many people get bitten trying that. Kerosene or gasoline poured into openings is a fire risk, and bleach gives off harmful fumes. All of them harm the ground, and there is no guarantee they will drive the snake away.
Children and pets stay away from the area until the technician tells you it is done. For any product placed around the house, we tell you where it is and how long to stay away, and it is written on the receipt.
If you have an animal pen or birds on the property, tell us. They could be the reason the snake came, and they change how we work.
With snake control, the worry is promises nobody wrote down. This is the sheet the technician hands you.

Move away, close the door if you can do it without going closer, get children and pets away, and call us. Do not try to catch it or hit it.
It is rare, but it can happen if there is a pipe, a nearby tree or an air shaft. Ground floors and gardens are far more exposed.
No single product can promise that. What makes a difference is sealing openings, treating rodents and cleaning up around the house.
It is not safe to try to find out yourself. Treat it as venomous, and if it bites someone, go to the hospital immediately.
Yes. Tell us the location and size, and whether there are crops or animals, so we can give you the right price.
It depends on the situation, the size of the place and the number of openings, and you get the price by phone. It is written down before we start, and it does not go up after you agree.
One phone call, and we set a time with you.
