Hurricane Flooding May Bring Infestations of Snakes, Rodents and Insects

Hurricane flooding may have driven snakes and rodents into homes and storage buildings, so homeowners should be careful when cleaning up after Hurricane Katrina,

Snakes, mice, rats and other rodents take shelter from the storm any where they can find. If they were in flowing water and found a house, they may have gone up to an open area under the eaves. When waters receded, they may migrate into closets, bookcases, under furniture, walls, or in cars, storage sheds, basements and piles of debris.
