Snakes - Waaaaaay Too Many Snakes

[aprophet]

if you are close to a waterman a eel pot works just as good as a minnow pot I use the round kind to catch ells cottonmouths find their way in frequently them and northern water snakes

has this been mentioned:

loosely coil bird netting around the coop and run. snakes crawl thru one hole, then another, then are all tangled up. very effective.

Move to the Great White North where we don't have them snakes that bite and kill people

I lived in the South for a few years, and that is one thing I didn't like and don't miss! I would rather freeze my tush off.

I hate the snakes. They have killed three of my grown silkies and one fantail pigeon. So far this year I have caught 5!! One over 6 feet. I have put down mothballs and so far so good. No new attacks.
