Ok. I know the old wives tales dont work.... But what about something like Liquid Fence Snake Repellent? It's supposed to be 100% natural and safe for the earth and your pets. Says its guaranteed to work. Have any experience with that?
I'm having a problem with black snakes in the duck pen. I never kill a non venomous snake and don't have any fear of scooping them up and taking them to another part of the farm. But they come back!! No matter how far away from the house and pen I take them they come back and I know this because I caught one big female with a nice scar down her side. I took her down the driveway and let her go in the far xmas tree field a good ways from the house and duck pen and a week later.. I was scooping her up again and taking her somewhere else.
I don't get it either. I can't really find any place they could be getting in except the front door. But they get in. I check and check for mice etc... I did find one nest before I got smart and removed all the straw except in their nests boxesand started using stall dry instead ... but I haven't seen any more. ( Probably due to all the darn black snakes) The ducks don't seem to pay them any attention and it's usually the snakes trying their hardest to get away from the ducks if they aren't hiding. But I dont want one of my ducks to get bitten and if they ever start having some babies for me I don't want the ducklings to get eaten.
Tonight I got 2 of the suckers. A 5 footer and a 6 footer.
Ugh. I don't know what to do so any advice would be great.
