All they do is eat rodents, thye don't hurt any one or anything. You want to get rid of the snakes, get rid of the mice and rats you have around, that's what's bringing them. Come winter, when your house is over run with field mice, you might wish you had left the snakes alone. |

Honestly a pet ferret may be a good idea. "People live their lives bound by what they accept as correct and true. That's how they define "reality". But what does it mean to be "correct" or "true"? Merely vague concepts ... their "reality" may all be a mirage. Can we consider them to simply be living in their own world, shaped by their beliefs?" "People cling to all they know and understand. But understanding and knowledge are ambiguous. Their reality could all be an illusion." |

Maybe a long and stringy dinner, but at least I got belts! Hey! Wait, get back here! Don't you go slithering away from me, belts!". Conspiracy Theorist is nothing more than a derogatory title used to dismiss a critical thinker. A time is coming when men will go mad, and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack him, saying, 'You are mad; you are not like us." -- St. Anthony The Great Social Credit Loser here. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 42079795 United States 06/16/2014 06:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I just moved here to a highly wooded area and the property has been in repo for over a year. I have killed two Corn snakes and encountered a black snake today, but it slithered off before it meet it's demise. You think they will just disperse as I get more lawn care done? or should I do more? I'm really am not into snakes when they are in the yard, they belong in the woods and I'm fine with them there.

Snakes don't like the vibrations and will move away from it. Keep clearing the area around the house and you'll create a relatively rodent and snake free zone. Nature will remain, but will back off by a few hundred feet. Human activity is not generally appreciated by the snakes. |
