It is believed that rattlesnakes show themselves more in the heat however, they become more active in the spring than in summer. Once temperatures hit 100F the snakes will go into hiding. The snakes go into hiding to prevent drying out. Rattlesnakes will look to hide in shaded cool retreats. Your pool filter area makes for a great aestivation spot. 

What can you do to keep your backyard from becoming a hiding spot?

1. Take a look at your landscaping. Bushy leaf plants like rosemary and lantana are great hide-out dens for snakes. Clear any debris from the base of your bushes. 
2. Fill in any rodent holes that are in your backyard as these make for great hideout spots. 
3. Fix and leaking water or moisture as it can attract wildlife. 
4. Remove any construction material or remnants in your yard. 
5. Make repairs to your pool pump area. Openings or holes under the equipment make for a great shelter. 
6. If you are hesitant, hire a professional to walk your yard and make recommendations.
