Snake problem...

[Bridget399]

I have a problem with huge black snakes in and around my house. Do Guineas really help with this problem? They're any where from 3 to 6 feet.

Can a Guinea really take care of a snake this big?

Will they do alright with chickens?

Are they black racers or black rat snakes? I lost a young guinea to a large rat snake.

I'm not sure. What do you think it is? I've just always called them black snakes. Sorry if the pics are bad...

did you find that snake in your kichen. I would have had a heart attack.

I have seen ours chase snakes before. But never kill one.

If you are not sure what it is the DNR can help you to identify what type of snake it is.

I would be interested in seeing a close up of one.

I dont think that here in Michigan I have seen a snake that large before except in pet store.

It's the third that we've gotten in 2 days. We spent last night sealing any gaps that may lead to the attic. I have several acres and just want them to say in the woods.
I have to do something. I'm not sleeping well at night anymore. Someone suggested the guineas.
