Not sure if anything is being done, but i use to work for a Nature Preserve in Cary and dealt with many snakes including copperheads. Copperheads are the only venomous snakes in most of wake county. Their bites are rarely fatal and fhey are not aggressive snakes (they dont chase you, they typically freeze up or try to slither off as first defense). They are extremely common in this area snd are just about everywhere, you may not see tgem sll that often because they are very well camouflaged. They come out mostly in the early evening ss the weather starts to cool off and are particularly active in NC in September snd october so you may see thrm more often in the coming months because it us their breeding season. Unfortunately there is not a whole lot you cam do to keep them away, other tham keeping the surrounding area generally free of habitat. But the apartment compkex has some woodland, shrubs and loys of pinestraw which is all prime habitat for these critters.
Hi Namoona, I know we had already spoke in regards to this but I wanted to reiterate as well. We contacted the Animal Wildlife Department that is through the Raleigh Police Department, and they said that if a snake is located by the building or in an apartment, they will remove it. If it is not close to the apartment, due to them being in their natural habitat they will not remove it. If you ever have any issues in the future, please let me know as soon as possible so we can look into it. Thanks again, Jessica
