I'm all for balance in nature and preserve the animals and bugs and
serpents and all that crap but I just have too many snakes in my yard. I have
removed by hand ( they're garden snakes) 10 this month alone. They are an
annoyance to my children and visitors and I would like to rid my yard of them.
I tried that "snake away" product and it's totally useless ( Yes I followed the
directions closely). Any other suggestions to rid my yard of these snakes?.
Also, I won't be responding to any posts by those condemning me for wanting my
yard snake-free so don't bother, save your condemnation for someone else.
Sorry, thought I had to mention that after reading some of these threads.

Thanks in advance for any useful advice.

Erm... 'garden' or 'garter' snakes don't occur here in Oz. I would be *happy* to
swap you snakes, though! I have a Red Bellied Black snake in my garden (a very
handsome fellow, about five feet long) and I live in fear that he might bite my
dog and kill her. Are your garden/garter snakes deadly?

The only thing I've done that works is to use the garden hose on 'jet'. That
will move one snake one time. It's not a solution. I'd be glad to hear of
others, though...
