Synopsis: Guinea fowl are considered to be excellent for pest control. And not just insects, but small rodents and even snakes. A flock of guinea fowl will disturb the snake's habitat and prevent it from appearing. Snakes like calm and quiet. Guineas on the other hand do not. Guinea fowl will notice a snake, but most of the time the flock, especially if it's a young flock, will just surround the snake and "Yell" over it, inspect it, but not eat it. The smaller the snake, the more likely the guinea fowl will eat it. A smaller snake looks more like a large worm and they peck at it. Then the guines will do the same. But if the snake is large guinea fowl will group around a snake they find and chase it off their land. So having these birds in your backyard can be a good idea they will kill the small snakes there and other snakes will be scared to invade your property. With the help of these birds, you can walk, lie down and even have a picnic in the yard, without fear of encountering scorpions, spiders, poisonous and non-poisonous snakes. The guinea fowl is a bird that, in addition to being beautiful, a good producer is an excellent control instrument. But it is advisable to prevent snakes from arriving in your yard instead of relying only on these birds, certain snakes can bite and kill chickens in Angola. So, you can't rely on guinea pigs alone to keep your property free of snakes, keep the grass well cut, and grow plants that snakes hate best.
