Snakes Are Getting On My Nerves....

[Breezy]

Really? Forget waterboarding, you want information just show me a recluse and I am giving it up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3iM-Qfdajg

Oh. MY. GOSH!!!!!!!

I WOULD MOVE! How terrifying. Like the use of the tape measure though, I will be using that one in the future.

I'm not a Cat fan (well I'm a Cathearder fan but not a cat as in kitty cat) but I would definitely rather have one cat than a yard of snakes.

Time to get you a HEARD of cats Cathearder.

:::::: I have 4 of them already....that is my limit . They are all spayed/nuetered, fat, bossy and lazy. The oldest is 9 the youngest is 3 and vet bills get expensive. (not to mention their monthly flea/worm meds ) I think they have better healthcare than I do...::

Funny how I have never gone out a gotten a kitten, but one always comes to me somehow when I get below 4 of them....:confused: Mother nature does not play fair. I am a ****er for the round little kitten faces.

I had never heard of the citrus spray. However, when we lived in the country, I did use the moth balls. Put them in the edge of the "yard" where the "woods" started. Never had them in the yard again.

Wasn't doing daycare and my kids were old enough to leave them alone.

If you go the moth ball route, take several of the baby food, plastic containers, the rectangle ones with the lids. Punch a few holes in it, add the moth balls and use packing tape or duck tape to wrap it up. That way the smell is still there,but the kiddos can't get to the mothballs.

Btw, I don't do snakes, spiders or wasp/bees.

If you live in a tent, and its also said that at one time in your life everyone will swallow a spider while sleeping. Now sleep on that one...

Not in a tent! .

Spiders are everywhere, and unless they are poisonous, there's no real need to fear them. they are beneficial in many ways, even though i hate them and kill them when i see them. i don't mind sharing my space with them, but if I see them, they are goners. We have 3/4's crawl space basement. so given the bare earth down there, there are bug issues. spiders help keep the other bugs down.

OMG!!!!! Where is the vomit emoticon?!?!!?!?!? I am seriously never going to sleep ever again!!! ...and I will not CIO either!! I will just stand here wide awake looking frantically all around me:confused::confused: I will also only communicate through typing and text from now on...it will seriously reduce the risk of opening my mouth...just in case.

they crawl into your ear and lay eggs too sometimes. especially if you just swept their web away

sorry for multiple posts. i'm not awake yet and i forget what i want to say....

one easy quick, great smelling cure for a lot of spiders and other bugs, is cedar. They HATE cedar. so you can buy nice carved shaped cedar , or cedar balls at walmart or anywhere pretty much, and when they start smelling less just give them a nice brush with sandpaper. That's how I made it through living in the basement when i was younger.

My entire playground is cedar mulch. I paid 4x what the pine went for for this reason.

My snakes don't care. They adapt better than we do I guess...::::

It smells nice when it rains, though.

That's it - I'm wearing a night cap from now on! ::

After reading about all of those snakes, I'm happy to live where I'm at! Yikes! My son did have a copperhead going after the little fish he caught though. EEEK!

Don't they make anything that sort of pounds the ground to keep the snakes away? I thought that was the purpose of a walking stick? Guess I'll have to invent one and get rich! haha!

You're glad that these snakes are living with you?, that's really unusual. I really don't like snakes, I have great fears on them. Maybe you would like to have the house the Sessions one had. Ben and Amber Sessions believed they were purchasing their ideal house. And the 5 bedroom property in countryside Rexburg, Idaho was a bargain at under $180,000. But their dream house ended up being a nightmare. They were sharing their home with hundreds of snakes. The proof is here: Snakes infest Idaho house.
