    Never would have believed it, then found this.... Walk him a LONG ways away. They one I found in my coop I took him 50 yards, 100 yards, 250 yards, and 1/4 mile away....and he was always back!

    Moth balls = no snakes???

    Have had more banded water snakes brought to me dead than I care to see again. You really don't need to ask someone again, just look up a photo on google to compare!! You'll see the differences right away.

    Hey Maine-iac! Spanish moss does have mites, but after 20 years I can't imagine them still being there. Oven at 200 degrees for an hour might do it- but it's highly flammable. I use it to start fires in the back yard for cookouts! Gardens- I use compost, ash, and topsoil. Mulch wouldn't...
