🐍 Myth: Snakes can dig their way into homes

🔍 Fact: Snakes can’t dig or gnaw through materials. Instead, they enter through existing cracks, gaps, and openings around a home or building. They seek sheltered areas like crawl spaces, basements, and attics.

Our Houston team spent the day supporting the local community and protecting our pollinators in The Woodlands, TX!

In partnership with Keep America Beautiful, Keep Texas Beautiful, and The Woodlands Township, the team removed about 30 gallons of trash from the park and planted 103 milkweed and other nectar-producing flowers to help create habitat for monarch butterflies and other pollinators.

The Woodlands Township also plans to pursue Monarch Waystation designation, which recognizes habitats that provide the food resources and shelter monarchs need throughout their life cycle. If approved, the site would join a growing network of habitats dedicated to supporting monarch conservation efforts! 🦋

We're proud to help create cleaner, healthier habitats for our communities and local wildlife.
