Snake question
 
A friend of mine told me to crush up some moth balls, mix with kitty litter
and sprinkle around the ponds and it would repell snakes.
Any body know if this is true?

Snake question
 
I don't know if it is true or not but they have some stuff on the
market that's supposed to repel snakes. I bought some the other day.
It smells like mothballs and allegedly has sulphur in it. I bought
the moth balls and am going to try garden sulphur. It will be a lot
less expensive.

It's called Snake AWay or some such thing.

Snake question
 
Moth balls have a limited life expectancy! how long does an application
last?

Snake question
 
The only thing I want to caution everyone about moth balls, is that they are
poison to your dogs and cats. So if you use them, fix them so they can't get
into them.

Snake question
 
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Seems it depends upon a
particular snake species response to the naphthalene (the chemical of
mothballs). And, further, it seems individuals of the same species
may respond differently (e.g. some are repelled, others are not).
Considering the potential dangers to wildlife and pets that may ingest
mothballs strewn about a pond, you might reconsider this approach.
