Snakes in the bathroom? Kitchen? Here’s why it happens—and how to stop it

Snakes enter homes searching for cool, moist places, rodents, or escape from floods. To prevent this, seal gaps in plumbing and use drain covers. Keep bathrooms dry and declutter regularly. Install mesh on windows and control rodents. If you spot a snake, do not try to kill it. Instead, close the room and call a snake rescue helpline.
