You misunderstood the problem--it is snakes not seals that are getting in.

I've heard that Buckeyes will go after mice and snakes...can someone with Buckeyes confirm or deny this?

Unless they live very far south I am having a hard time swallowing this story considering the time of year. Even here it will be some time before we see snakes emerge from hibernation.

Did the OP ever state where they are from?

On the coast of NC even with the bad weather My first cousin killed a copperhead. They are coming out. Gloria Jean

I've heard that snakes will not cross over big, thick, jute-type (the scratchy kind) rope.

I removed a few trolling remarks. If you can't be helpful, please refrain from posting.
Thanks.

There are alligators on the coast too, much more mild than here, but we have no idea where the OP is from, plus add in the size the snake would have to be.

Here's a link as to how to make a snake trap out of 1/2 inch squared plastic garden netting. The snake will entangle it's self in the mesh.
