How to reduce the probability of encountering a dangerous reptile?

Perhaps the first thing to do - to restore order in the country. Regularly mow the grass, remove branches and other debris, hide in the place garden tools.
Pieces of slate, barrels, logs, etc. - all this is an attractive refuge for climbing, and therefore should not be on the site.

extermination

Therefore, if you live mice, and we should expect the appearance of a hunter to them, and as practice shows - very clever! At this point of the two evils would have to choose the lesser. However, you can make the country a "super-hunter." For example, a hedgehog.
This method is suitable if: 1. You often happens in the country and will feed a hedgehog, or he will run away. 2. You do not have chickens: the hedgehog will eat and at the same time. 3. You will not regret berries: they also love hedgehogs.

- when visiting a forest or overgrown areas wear boots or shoes;
- protect children's sandboxes, houses and woodpile, spilling chemicals on a distance of 2-3 meters from them.
Be sure to tell the children about snakes. For example, read a story by Kipling. Explain that these animals are very dangerous, they can not be missed, as well as pieces of slate, pipes and other items, which can crawl into the animal.
At the cottage should be kept first-aid kit bites. It should be:
- antipyretics;
- cardiovascular drugs;

- move as little as possible and not to panic due to tachycardia poison spread rapidly through the body;
- drink a few glasses of water, juice (not only coffee and no alcohol!);
- to the site of the bite to apply something cold to reduce swelling;

- better not to suck the venom out of the wound or do this if you have no wounds or mucous damaged teeth, but this is difficult to be sure.
The main thing with bite - as quickly as possible to find medical care. In the medical facility would be required heparin: it is more effective than serum.
