Snake prevention

"~ jan" wrote in message .. . This was a new one for me. I do remember talking about it though in old RP. One of my hubby's ex co-workers collects coffee cans, drills holes in t he plastic caps and then put moth balls in the cans. She then set the cans on the outskirts of her property. Apparently this works. I've never heard of it before. ~ jan Why would that stop them if it's out in the open? The fumes would blow away. The "outskirts" of her property no less. I don't believe it. ;-) I'm a skeptic, too. But I spent a lot of time a week or two ago reading about different products and there are lots of believers in this one; http://www.pestproducts.com/snakeaway1.htm It uses naphthalene [mothballs] and sulphur and claims that it masks other odors so snakes avoid the area because they can't smell their dinner or danger. The review that kept me from trying it was the guy who said it worked great to keep snakes from around his pool---- but his kids wouldn't go out there for 2 weeks after he applied it because the smell was too strong. So I guess I'll go with trap and relocate if my garter snakes get too plentiful. Jim |
