Recent heavy rains have forced wildlife from underground dwellings where theyâre more accessible to predators such as snakes and bobcats, so watch wherever you step when outdoors, including your own yard. Thatâs advice from L.T. Pratt, spokesman for Green Valley Fire District, which responds to injury calls, and Kevin McNichols, new volunteer coordinator for Green Valley Fire Corps, which responds to pest-related calls. Snake-removal requests are up slightly from normal summer calls, most likely to recent storms.
