Hardware cloth here as well. All the other stuff is a joke. Hopefully that's the last of those buggers.

I only use hardware cloth.

It is well worth the money for sure.

I know that when I was young (which was about last Thursday) the only places with AC were movie theatres, hospitals, some offices and some restaurants. Very few houses had or could afford AC units and some how we all lived and survived. I don't know how we did it.

We didn't know any different. I agree on A/C making it feel worse too. Had to go a summer without it a couple of years ago. You do get used to it and find ways to stay cooler.

Had some chicks in a 'rabbit hutch' and the HW cloth was 1" -- raccoons can reach inside that size gap. One scared the chicks to the oppsite side and another one attacked them from there....

Now I get 1/2" = small enough that 'coon can't reach through and even snake couldn't get into the HW cloth area. JMO.

I used 1/2 in hardwire cloth to. My mom used chicken wire this is what she found 2 days ago!

Snakes can get through the smallest of cracks.

Even with hardware cloth you have to make sure there are no gaps. I hope your Mom got it before it got anything.

That can give you nightmares IMO. Someone near here was bracing piers under a shed (think cool, dark) and got bitten by a timber rattler. -- They are now in ICU in the hospital in Beaumont -- They were far awayfrom any help - and working alone. Our newspaper said that the rain has caused snakes to move out of their 'holes' and that is another reason why we are seeing so many.

The only good snake...you will notice that his head is gone and he is still shaking his rattle...


he became a tasty snack for some red ants and a couple of buzzards...

A snake is something I don't ignore. I just shoot them.

Well it got eggs. But it also got away before they got back with the gun. So now they are on hypervigilance snake watch it's a bull snake but I agree only good snake is ....... you know!
