Video captured the heart-stopping moment a rattlesnake lunged at a pest controller at break-neck speed when disturbed in Arizona's blistering 110-degree temperatures.
Rattlesnake Solutions shared the footage of the wrangler attempting to pick up the western diamondback that made itself at home in a backyard in Phoenix.
The hissing snake is seen launching two open-mouth lunges at the wranglers stick as it was lifted into a bucket.
One of the lunges was so swift it could be missed with a single blink.

Rattlesnake Solutions owner Bryan Hughes said temperatures hit nearly 110 degrees when the clip was captured.
He explained that the extreme heat wave torching the western US in recent weeks has left rattlesnakes especially irritable, as they're known for disliking high temperatures.
