Noticed a couple of snakes in the back yard yesterday, 12/14 inches long.
Don't know what kind. Are there any home remedies for a snake repellent.
Any advise would be appreciated.
thanks
Barry


Most snakes are not venomous in this area. Some can be beneficial. Most
won't bite unless you step on or near them. Keep the grass mowed, and the
chickens in the hen house. They don't venture out in the heat of the day.
Another "problem" nuisance are spiders. Almost all eat some form of insect.
Yet, people always try to get rid of these "pests". Get rid of the bug
zapper, and leave the daddy long-legs (harvestman) on the porch.

Yet, people still feed white-tailed deer and wonder why their garden is torn
up from time to time. Yes, they're cute, blah, blah. P.S. those aren't dog
paw prints in the garden.
