With spring in full swing, animals big and small are emerging from hibernation after months of conserving energy during the winter. As such, you might be seeing more and more wildlife, like snakes and other critters, around your yard.

One of the telltale signs that you may have snakes in your garden is the sight of snake holes. While some might greet this as a welcome sign because snakes help keep rodent and insect populations down, it might not be so ideal if you aren’t a gardener—or you just don’t care for reptiles.
