My other half is the burn the house kind too, and probably the neighbors house just in case there might be one there. So I have not told her yet. I have snakes in my shop and garage all the time. I just poke them a bit and they leave. They never do anything, but I would rather not have it in my house. I am thinking to try the sticky board thing.
I was working in an old house about 2 years ago. We were on the third floor and 2 black snakes came out of the ceiling. They were 4-5' long. The old farmer woman who lived there just picked them up and took them outside. The husband who was from the city ran out screaming like he was being killed. My helper would not go back in. I had to finish the job myself. The only snake I ever had trouble with was a rat snake. Not poison but aggressive. They bite if they think they can eat you.

I don't know if I'm seeing things, but, it appears that there's FOUR responses from me, that says the same thing!!!!!!!!
I have NO idea how that happened.
Can someone (mod or admin) 'fix' that and delete any/all of them, please!?!?!?!?!
Sheeeeeeeeeeesh. I've heard of 'double-tapping' a post, but, quad-tapping??????
That's a new one on me!

I know what you mean. As I think about it, there haven't been any mice here for about a year or more. So I guess I have had the border down there for a while. And there might be more than one.

Bob, I don't need to discuss snakes, to have me walk over and pour a 'sip' of Maker's Mark...... but never before 4:00 p.m.!!!!!!!!!
Seriously....... I've never seen a 'quad-tap' before.
It might be this "new Windows 7" pc that I've been issued.

If you have snakes, you are surely harboring snake bait as well. Mice, rats, squirrels, moles, voles, all of which are disease ridden, filthy animals that will do a lot of damage to your house. Keep the snake. Especially if it is a king snake because they will eat the rodents and any other snakes as well. If you have a king snake the place will stay pretty sanitary. It's a win.
