The cowboys used to place a hair rope (lariat) around their bed
roll. The belief was/is that a snake will not cross over a hair
rope.

In south Texas many people used to keep Indigo snakes as they kill
only snakes and the belief was/is they keep other snakes away.

Supposedly pigs and turkeys are good at killing and eating snakes.

Two days ago two of my miniature dachshunds were bitten several
times
by a huge rattler.......things were touch and go for awhile but
todsay we brought both dogs home from the vet and they are doing
fine.
We have a large population of snakes (rattlers, cotton mouths
and
copperheads) in this area, but so far its only been rattlers
that have
come uip and around the house. They seem to like this land as
its
hot, sandy, hardwoods and pines, lots of birds, squirrels etc
and out
in the country........there is no trash piles or other junk
arund to
attract them, and all things normally storewed outside is moved
around
a lot, or stored off the ground........Its just a heaven for
snakes......with environment and location.

So after quite an expensive bill and not having any more ideas
to keep
snakes at bay, the wife was wanting to try this product called
snake
away.........I am kind of skeptical. Anyone have any experience
withthis product or other snake repellents? I know for a fact
the old
sulphur powder repellent did not work at all.
Thanks
