We have a problem with snakes on our field this year. People are finding
them tangled up in netting around various crops. Unfortunately we don't
always get there in time to effect a release.

Anyone else got this problem?

It's a known technique for ridding the garden of highly venomous snakes in
Australia. Trap them with bird netting, then kill them with a long handled
shovel.
