Eek... I knew the time would come. We have been weeding like crazy but the buggers still find a way in and they hide under the giant squash plants. We are all afraid of them. How can we get them out of there so I feel safe going in again?

Hi. I don't know how big of a garden you have? But you could put mothballs around the perimeter of the garden and that should do the trick. I would like to hear of other suggestions that may work better.

We have the same problem in the high grass and we were told to sprinkle sulfur powder around the grassy areas and under the porches and shrubs. Also we had to put the sulfur around the ducks; the snakes loved the eggs.

The snake may be there for a reason. That reason may be rodents. If you get rid of the snake you find your vegetables are becoming snacks for rats, rabbits, and other pests including insects. Try to identify the snake and if is not venomous you may want to consider yourself lucky to have one. Without it, you may find yourself with a whole new set of problems that are more difficult to live with.
Agree, unless the snake is venomous, they are a good thing. Always wanted them in our corn crib.
