NORTHPORT, NY — Snake Trap LLC, a Northport-based start-up, is getting close to launching its product that the founding trio hopes will boost health and sanitation on a global level.

The snake trap will act as a sleeve for dirty drain snakes, allowing maintenance workers to clean toilets and sinks without dripping wastewater in elevators, on a staircase or in hallways.

"The men and women who use this equipment in public as part of their job deserve to have a cleaner and safer way to do their jobs without harming all of their co-workers, guests, clients and themselves," Robert Lauth, a co-founder of Snake Trap LLC, told Patch.
