You do realize that once he starts cleaning that up, the snakes will move out of that particular area and into your yard....in large numbers.
Really? Seriously? After I sit here and convince myself that it will help, you have to bring up this shit?!!
No joke, I know it will put them on the move and that is fine. I figure that I will see a couple move through. I do every year so I expect it. At least it will be a cleaner area and less places for their food source to hide.
I will say this again. Clean up the rodents, and the snakes will leave. That is what they are after this time of year.
My yard is clean and so are those on either side of me. I also spent the winter making sure that the fence row that is behind my yard is super clean and you have a plain view of sight. This is the first year that I haven't seen any snakes in that spot. I attribute it to the clean up, mothballs and neighbors cats. Now saying that, I realize I will now see 15 or 20 this evening in one flowerbed.
