Rattlesnake Solutions LLC is the busiest snake relocation and prevention business in the United States, relocating over 1,400 snakes from homes in the Phoenix and Tucson metro areas each year. Founded in 2010, Rattlesnake Solutions works to solve conflict between native reptilian wildlife and an ever-expanding urban landscape through education, conservation, and direct mitigation. Funding generated from snake removal and prevention services are used in part for rattlesnake conservation research and educational outreach. Rattlesnake Solutions provides snake relocation and prevention services in Arizona. In the process, we meet thousands of homeowners, and learn about their encounters with wildlife in, and have developed a deep understanding of the challenges that rattlesnakes face in developing urban environments. Rattlesnakes are almost universally hated and often killed by even "animal lovers" and outdoors enthusiasts and often killed, needlessly. Rattlesnake Solutions' education outreach is focused outside of the traditional nature-center setting, seeking to speak directly with those who are most likely to fear them, kill them, and end up a statistic themselves in the process. By directly challenging the personalities that are the source of dangerous misinformation, we hope to change the culture of fear surrounding Arizona's most iconic wildlife.
