Yes, don't like background music! It makes it much harder to hear really important information. On the other hand, thank you for your effort to educate us.
You are clearly a very nice person, and want to put nice effort into your videos. But I agree that the music is difficult to block out from your information. Thk you.
I appreciate the information you have provided. If I may make a suggestion, I think the volume of the music needs to be lowered. It’s a bit distracting.
Professional nuisance wildlife control guy here. I saw one of my snake videos was get suggested from this video and had to check it out. I usually roll my eyes before I even watch a video with this title because 90% of videos like this are nonsense advice. I LOVE THIS VIDEO! This is literally the same advice I give my customers to lessen the amount of snakes from their property. Same advice for any species of fauna. Subtract what attracts them. I tell my customers that if repellents worked... I would be out of a job. Derek is the real deal and gives great advice for snakes. Keep putting out videos!
Derek, great information. Thanks for all the points. The background music is somewhat distracting. If you can do without it, it will really help. Keep up the good work. Please discuss how to trap the snakes also.
In are area we have rattlers and have use extra hot chile powder, we aoak the dry powder (chile powder) and sprinkle it around the home, wood piles, shacks. Is seen to work well, even if you find burrow or rat holes. You sprinkle the chile around the opening. Geena
I liked your video and will incorporate some of what you directed. NOTE: There is a background music/noise throughout your presentation that is very annoying. I only assume that it is intentional but most viewers can probably do without it.
I came home and before pulling into my garage there was a very long black racer challenging me to enter. Then it disappeared under heavy duty shelving down the side of the interior. I sent 10 or so mothers balls under the shelf and out came not only mom, but an entire clutch of small hatchlings about 18 inches each. Lost count at 20. It was so frightening. I left the moth balls in place for several months as it is also my laundry area. Sealed up all the entry points I could find and so far so good 10 years later.
@@KAMB_n_Jinx My Step- Dad said when in their field on the tractor the racers would come along the the side and look in at you. Easy to do the way they can move like a cobra with their heads raised up.
Great information! Keep up the videos, they are helping people!! Glad I found you!! I live in the desert and have many snakes, tarantulas, coyotes, javalinas and much more, so any help is appreciated, thank you!!
I live in Florida and had bad issues with snakes in my garage. I tried Snake Away....put it all over garage and then used remaining bag to plug corner of garage where I always found them. So I had Snake Away on the floor and the half full bag on top of the snake away. And I found a snake curled up on top of the bag of snake away. 100% true story. BTW ended up solving issue by finding crack they entered through and plugged with concrete from outside in. It is amazing how little space they can navigate through.
@@thekrod8469 cool. I guess it only works against baby snakes because 2 years ago I saw a baby copperhead and sprinkled it and it slithered away. My backyard has all of their prey but I just keep the grass low and use similar products because I don’t like copperhead snakes or the so called good snakes.
I'm so thankful I live in Michigan. 43 acres with a pond / swamp, woods, hay fields, gardens, small orchard, a creek bed, and lots of berry patches. After 12 years, I've seen maybe 6 small Garter snakes and nothing ever venomous.
I have three fixed rescue cats on my 4 acres. They have a great hunting domain. Always finding dead birds , field mice, chip munks, squirrel, small rabbits at the door. I have found one dead copperhead in the yard. Cats , dogs , free range chickens take care of the snakes easily.
Thanks Derek for caring enough about the snakes to help them ! I actually like snakes and have had several in and around the house = happily ~ none that were poisonous ~ and we usually move them to where they're happier and safer (from cars / dogs / even curious cats!) I'd rather they didn't ever get inside (usually small and young ~ looking for peaceful shade !) We're on the edge of the forest and have had deer, bears, raccoons, woodchucks, foxes, coyotes and whatever else lives nearby = in the yard ! I carefully check all directions before 'walking out '!
Thanks man. A Copperhead was next to my home day before yesterday, it struck at my friend when he was helping me move flower pots. A snake killed my Dog last year, it was terrible. Thanks for enlightening us on this valuable info. N.C is blowing up right now with poisonous Snakes.
Coastal SC snake population is up as well. Killed a baby rattlesnake under my car that was under the carport. He looked like he was headed for the house door until my cat cut him off.
@@barnes29510 Agree. A neighborhood cat helped me spot a rattling rattlesnake in my backyard that was upset over the cat's presence. I removed a bird feeder in that area where the snake was obviously hunting. That snake scared the crap out of me because it was my first time seeing a rattlesnake ever!
I just want to know what will kill them sorry. They will still come in your yard no matter what this guy is saying. I need to know a reliable repellent.
We just moved into a house that has a nature preserve park behind us. We live in Columbus Ohio. My uncle saw a long brown one (side of house) 2 weeks ago and a small silver-ish one today front yard. Our basement is completely refinished and very cold. I love it that way and our bedroom is down there. Do snakes get in basements/inside the house? I am sure I’d have a heart attack if I had one in our house.
My cats are continuously helping keep my snake visitation down by eliminating the snakes food sources: mice, birds, lizards and etc. My cats are taking away their food source and without a food source they generally don't have any reason to hang around.
I just ran across this video, it's the first time I've ever heard of u, but I truly enjoyed your video. I have a question though, do u know any way to keep snakes away from my dogs and their houses ?
Heck yes! I’m watched this from Yulee. I’m thankful for your dispelling of the mothball and snake-away approaches. I’ve had snakes more problematic in the last two years, and it is likely because of both access to water puddling, and a few places in the yard that provided a decent hiding place. Cleared them up and am waiting to see how it goes this year. So far, so good. Question: Have you ever seen a snake held up between a wall and mini storage shed? That’s the only spot I’m concerned about now.
Put out a BLACK HOSE each evening. ONLY thing that worked like for me. Move it inside during day; snakes aren’t stupid. They’re also solo animals. If they see another snake, they will steer clear. The hose looks like a snake - they steer clear.
You’re right that “most” snakes aren’t communal but they live along side each other in the wild, so the idea of one snake “scaring off” another snake isn’t accurate. Not to mention, a snake would be able to tell the difference between a hose and a snake
Glad that I found your video. I`m planning to move to Interlachen, and aware that there could be snakes out in the rural area I`m eyeing. I want to be wise, so I`m seeking ways to protect myself and my grandkids.
Great information but like others have mentioned. It’s hard to hear you with the background music. I would prefer to hear you only since I’m currently having a copperhead issue here in texas
Hi Derek, Thanks so much for the video. We have a small Koi pond in our backyard also a chicken coop with only two hens. Last year we saw one snake but this year I have seen three already. Online, people mentioned about "sulfur, vinegar, cinnamon, smoke and spice, and foul, bitter, and ammonia-like scents" keep snakes away. Can I get your opinion on these? Thanks so much.
I agree with you. Unfortunately, I live next to a pond and I have thousands of frogs that live all around me, which in turn attracts copperhead snakes. I hate killing any animal at all but I have dogs and cats that I have to protect so I am forced to kill them when I come upon one. I almost stepped on one this evening and that's why I was looking up the subject. My next stop is to go yo amazon and purchase snake boots. Thanks for the video.
Use white vinagre lemon juice and peppermint oil in a spray bottle I’m from Texas I use it in my huge yard all the time and my kids never see snakes I just got done mowing and no snakes as always
@@2011Milojko We’ve found that it is easier to spray every other time we mow the lawn. So probably 1 to 2 times a month but during the summer 2 to 3 times a month because in Texas snakes are pretty bad in the country
Your AC unit looks just like mine. Right down to the PVC drain pipe lol. Last year is where a King snake decided to stick his head out when I was cutting grass. I bout jumped off the mow 😂
Great information thank you so much. I have a pot that I have turned into a pond with weed in it and I have a frog pond up the front will that attract snakes?
I know this is an older video but I just happened upon the video. I see in the comments that others have commented on the background music. It is very distracting & makes it hard to focus on the info. Thanks for taking the time to share the information though.
In the last few years they cut down 150 acres of woods across the road from my house, to build 2 warehouses, making my house "the new woods." Drainage is also a problem over here as the property next to mine is very low and turns into a rather large pond whenever it rains. The snakes LOVE my basement because it's warm and out of the elements. I have professional landscapers cut my grass regularly. The snakes love the warm concrete of my foundation. I don't mind finding one in my basement once in a while ( once a week ) but I've actually caught one upstairs right smack dab in the middle of my living room. Once one of them was in my bed. I thought maybe I brought him upstairs in the laundry basket. I just don't know what to do. I'm dealing with ants too. It's definitely the woods. thank God they're only garden snakes. I live in Buffalo, Ny.
@@tykaye8032 naw... they only show up in the spring. The exterminator has been here to spray the perimeter for the ants and the snakes have moved on to greener pastures.
Eliminate bugs from the yard. Granulated insect killer spread over the yard and especially where leaves accumulate reduces food sources for frogs and other small animals that in turn are preyed on by snakes.
Thank you for confirming about the mothballs. I'm always afraid that cats and dogs will get ahold of them and eat them. The mothballs are very poisonous to animals. My neighbor claims that it works, of course, she's stubborn and hates insects, pets and anything like that.
I never seen a snake in my yard(maybe one)until my lazy neighbors moved in and now the grass is 4ft tall and the pool is full of frogs..I've seen 5 this week luckily ground snakes and a huge black(I'll let him be though)
Noticed a Black Snake yesterday in my back yard...had cut some branches from some trees and I pilled them against my wall outside my house and was ready to throw them branches out and noticed a Black Snake crawling underneath the branches....the problem is that I have to paint the exterior of the house and the wall where I pilled the branches has to be painted also...but now I have a guest underneath them branches and I really don't want to kill it...any suggestions how to flush him out from the branches...Please thank you. I'm in Florida also..Tampa
A question please: If I feed foxes and racoons, and they are marking the area with urine and feces, will that deter snakes from coming close to the house?
put golf balls and marbles around in groups looking like nesting. The snake eats them and can't expel them and kills them. Sling shots and pellet guns work well as well as hoes to whack em with. I know he wants to save the snakes, I don't .
I think we have a rat snake that comes in our yard to eat bugs, I see it scanning the walls so I assume it's eating bugs....Do you think if I spray for bugs it will stop coming in?
I'm in GA. I think there is a snake hole in the ground at the corner of my house & patio. What should I do? Fill it in with what and should I fill it in with the creature in it or how do I get it to come out?
Someone told me to put Lyme under my house in Florida suppose to help keep snakes out from under my house . Will this work and is it safe to do ? Thank youv
We have copperheads and timber rattlers but rare. The rattlers are more heavier to the south of us!, weve seen copperheads along near creeks but at the elevation we are weve never seen them close to the house. We have several big black snakes and a blue racer I saw but we welcome them cause they eat all the field mice around!.
hello ... I have removed my 3rd NC RAT SNAKE from my basement . they like the floor joists near the ceiling . very beautiful snakes about 4 feet long .. just sealed the roof vent ends I hope that was the part they use . 🐍 🐍
I have heard that snakes don’t like noise. I’ve heard that some people place plastic bags, I guess like grocery bags, around their property. They make noise on a windy day. The bags are tied to the fence. Is this true. I started mowing the lawn one day, and when I looked up, a snake was practically flying across the yard. I guess I raddled his cage.
My yard attracts snakes because I have overgrown shrubs and nesting birds. I plan to remove the shrubs this fall. Until then I will keep the grass mowed and spray insecticide around the house.
This morning on August 19, 2021 we saw a small snake on our deck in the backyard. By the time we went to get something to kill it, the snake crawl backdown under the deck. What should we do. Should we get an expert to clean out under the deck?
I live the south. Found an old house I want to renovate, but I am afraid of snakes that my be in the walls. How can I be sure if there are or not without destroying a lot of the charm of the house?
I need you in Arkansas. I just had a black chicken snake in my laundry room on top of my dryer. Bout had a heart attack. When I first moved here I bought so much snakeaway and then sulphur pellets which my laundry room is covered in and after watching The Louisiana snake I’d guy and found out I was wasting my money. I’m living in my moms 100 year old farmhouse and there is a lot of rotted holes in parts of the wood. I feel like I live in the Amazon.
I don't have low bushes or water near the house, I have natural woods on 3 sides of me and a creek 500 yards down the hill in the woods and they stay down there. No food in my yard. I did have a black racer in my front flower bed for 6 yrs. Only saw him sunbathing once and several sheds. But the city dug up the 6"pvc water pipe and laid 8" iron pipe. All the digging in the front by the flower bed ran him off
Please no background music. Distracting and headache inducing 😫. Otherwise! I’m not sure if I can stick with you if that music is going to play the entire time.
I live in mountain and in the wood he is right about keeping the grass cut wood piles and down trees keep flower beds clean in the fall get up leaves .I have copperheads and timber rattlesnakes on my land and some black snakes. I leave the black snakes alone. I have caught 168 copperhead and 37 timber rattlesnakes .I do have a creek on my property. I have used ammonia in my out Buildings I put the ammonia sour cream container and I Will pour some on the floor to then I close the door and wait for them to come out. It works every time . I have been at my home for 29 years .I hope this will help and all my friends and neighbors have had success to. Also you will want to use a respiratory if you go in to the building or leave the door open to vent out the ammonia. also you can use peppermint in your buildings because mice do not like the smell of peppermint no mice no food for the snakes. Some people use lime powder it does not work either.
The Poison ones I get rid of. All the rest are welcome. My Pyr has a particular bark he has that lets me know it is a Rattle Snake. It is different from the typical Deer or Javelin or people bark. So I'm up in the dark to rectify the situation. Thanks.
We have a very bad snake problem in my neighborhood. I’ve lived here a year and have personally had at least 6 different snakes in my yard (yes not the same ones and I am certain of that). We have been working on removing as many bushes/shrubs as the HOA will allow but we need to redo the flower beds and I’m confused as to whether I should use a certain type of mulch or rocks (and if rocks, sharp rocks like lava or tight fitting pebbles). Please help. I have a snake phobia. Btw, there is a farm directly behind my house. Thank you in advance!
@@stackfire9601 No they don't and he just said it in the video! There is another video somewhere on YT where a guy tests products that are rumored to get rid of snakes. I watched to video on moth balls, lyme and snake away! None of them work!
I had one in my house in the basement steps door farmhouse which I’m sure there are places on the foundation where it came in as I sometimes get water in my basement so I’m guessing if I get water in Las Vegas it freaked me out thank God I saw it and had adrenaline enough in my system to catch it in a bucket and throw it outside
Didn't realize that placing moth balls outside was illegal. However, moth balls do work around here. Snake's have highly sensitive nostrils and hate the oder/smell.
A friend of mine has some land in Virginia that's infested with Copperheads in the summer. If he managed to placed some King snakes on his property and they stayed and multiplied, would that handle or at least cut down the Copperhead population?
No. It is not recommended to release pet store king snakes into the wild. They would likely die, potentially spread disease, and/or disrupt the natural ecosystem
@@naturecoastcolubrids I'm not talking about pet store king snakes, I'm talking about hiring a professional to relocate actual wild king snakes onto the property.
Would y be willing to come to Alabama and help me with my snake problem? I can't get rid of the housing issue for the snakes. I'm literally in the woods with an old broke down house next door.
Jessica mothballs do work just don't let kids around them use a slingshot shoot them up underneath your house throw them underneath the edges of your deck around the perimeter of your yard trust me
People, there are hundreds of different types of snacks here in America. There is only six " venomous " snacks in America 1. The Eastern Diamondback 2. The Sidewinder Diamondback 3. The Pigmey Rattlesnake 4. The Cottonmouth 5. The Water Moccasin 6. The Coral Snake Everything other than those are good Snakes. They will eat mice, rats, and other Snakes even the bad ones. So if you see a Snake,make sure it's a bad one before killing
Rattlesnake, copperhead, coral snake and water moccasin. Cottonmouth and water moccasin are the same. I think that's what I remember hearing on a educational show.
Copperhead was on my deck on top railing curled up didnt see it start with was even face to face almost when i backed off and looked up i seen it have problems with birds building nest and squirrels dont feed neither of them
I live in the middle of the worst area for rattlesnakes in California on 10 acres. How can I make sure not one snake not even a baby ever touches my entire property? I mean never not one single snake I'm worried if I put snake fencing around the whole property that I would be trapping the ones that are already here.
@@dharobed3329 near Penn Valley ca, west of Grassvalley ca. I sprayed gas under the decks and around the property and keep Wray’s soaked in gas . I’ve killed about 20 huge ones in past 2 years
I had not been to my little country getaway in awhile, so went last week and noticed the nice had been having a field day in my old shack. Woke up the next morning, went outside and almost stepped in n a copperhead. Mice = snakes.

I thought maybe I brought him upstairs in the laundry basket. I just don't know what to do. I'm dealing with ants too. It's definitely the woods. thank God they're only garden snakes. I live in Buffalo, Ny.
you don’t know what to do??? baby MOVE . cause it’s clearly their home.
@@tykaye8032 naw... they only show up in the spring. The exterminator has been here to spray the perimeter for the ants and the snakes have moved on to greener pastures.
Yikes!
Get cats
No rodents = no snakes
Eliminate bugs from the yard. Granulated insect killer spread over the yard and especially where leaves accumulate reduces food sources for frogs and other small animals that in turn are preyed on by snakes.
Keep your yard mawned and tidy free of grass, lumbers or pile of any kind of materials- for their shelter
Thank you for confirming about the mothballs. I'm always afraid that cats and dogs will get ahold of them and eat them. The mothballs are very poisonous to animals. My neighbor claims that it works, of course, she's stubborn and hates insects, pets and anything like that.
We are moving to the woods! Green Country Oklahoma, in the eastern part. All the information was excellent for peace of mind. 😊
I never seen a snake in my yard(maybe one)until my lazy neighbors moved in and now the grass is 4ft tall and the pool is full of frogs..I've seen 5 this week luckily ground snakes and a huge black(I'll let him be though)
Thank you, the video is very helpful. I agree that the music is distracting, though.
Noticed a Black Snake yesterday in my back yard...had cut some branches from some trees and I pilled them against my wall outside my house and was ready to throw them branches out and noticed a Black Snake crawling underneath the branches....the problem is that I have to paint the exterior of the house and the wall where I pilled the branches has to be painted also...but now I have a guest underneath them branches and I really don't want to kill it...any suggestions how to flush him out from the branches...Please thank you. I'm in Florida also..Tampa
Derek, Where in Florida do you live? I live in Sarasota area. Would like to invite you to survey my perimeter.
A question please: If I feed foxes and racoons, and they are marking the area with urine and feces, will that deter snakes from coming close to the house?
Believe it or not I used salt once and they left! I put it by holes I found around this cement pad by my shed. I had bull snakes
Dude….. thumbs up for the info! Please ditch the music!
Thank you! This was very helpful!
put golf balls and marbles around in groups looking like nesting. The snake eats them and can't expel them and kills them. Sling shots and pellet guns work well as well as hoes to whack em with. I know he wants to save the snakes, I don't .
I think we have a rat snake that comes in our yard to eat bugs, I see it scanning the walls so I assume it's eating bugs....Do you think if I spray for bugs it will stop coming in?
Music annoying. Otherwise great information.
Anyone know if venomous snakes go up high into bushes? I have to hand trim mine and am just wondering if one will bite me in the face.
I'm in GA. I think there is a snake hole in the ground at the corner of my house & patio. What should I do? Fill it in with what and should I fill it in with the creature in it or how do I get it to come out?
😊tees goins
Someone told me to put Lyme under my house in Florida suppose to help keep snakes out from under my house . Will this work and is it safe to do ? Thank youv
Great presentation & information. Helpful. Thank you. The music racket has caused me to seek counseling! Uhg! Bad idea! Lol
😂😂😂😂
We have copperheads and timber rattlers but rare. The rattlers are more heavier to the south of us!, weve seen copperheads along near creeks but at the elevation we are weve never seen them close to the house. We have several big black snakes and a blue racer I saw but we welcome them cause they eat all the field mice around!.
hello ... I have removed my
3rd NC RAT SNAKE from
my basement . they like the
floor joists near the ceiling .
very beautiful snakes
about 4 feet long .. just
sealed the roof vent ends
I hope that was the part
they use . 🐍 🐍
I have heard that snakes don’t like noise. I’ve heard that some people place plastic bags, I guess like grocery bags, around their property. They make noise on a windy day. The bags are tied to the fence. Is this true. I started mowing the lawn one day, and when I looked up, a snake was practically flying across the yard. I guess I raddled his cage.
I'm not really surprised that repellants don't work, that's definitely been my experience too
Have you tried white vinegar?
Grated irish spring soap does keep ants away and maybe moles still testing it
The only way to truly not have snakes is to move to Antarctica!
Thanks from Australia
Question, what about pine needles do snakes hide in those?
Yesssssssssssss, sometimes to cool off - they burrow themselves also to catch rodents also
My yard attracts snakes because I have overgrown shrubs and nesting birds. I plan to remove the shrubs this fall. Until then I will keep the grass mowed and spray insecticide around the house.
This morning on August 19, 2021 we saw a small snake on our deck in the backyard. By the time we went to get something to kill it, the snake crawl backdown under the deck. What should we do. Should we get an expert to clean out under the deck?
Theow some mothballs under there he will come out
I live the south. Found an old house I want to renovate, but I am afraid of snakes that my be in the walls. How can I be sure if there are or not without destroying a lot of the charm of the house?
I need you in Arkansas. I just had a black chicken snake in my laundry room on top of my dryer. Bout had a heart attack. When I first moved here I bought so much snakeaway and then sulphur pellets which my laundry room is covered in and after watching The Louisiana snake I’d guy and found out I was wasting my money. I’m living in my moms 100 year old farmhouse and there is a lot of rotted holes in parts of the wood. I feel like I live in the Amazon.
I don't have low bushes or water near the house, I have natural woods on 3 sides of me and a creek 500 yards down the hill in the woods and they stay down there. No food in my yard. I did have a black racer in my front flower bed for 6 yrs. Only saw him sunbathing once and several sheds. But the city dug up the 6"pvc water pipe and laid 8" iron pipe. All the digging in the front by the flower bed ran him off
Please no background music. Distracting and headache inducing 😫. Otherwise! I’m not sure if I can stick with you if that music is going to play the entire time.
I live in mountain and in the wood he is right about keeping the grass cut wood piles and down trees keep flower beds clean in the fall get up leaves .I have copperheads and timber rattlesnakes on my land and some black snakes. I leave the black snakes alone. I have caught 168 copperhead and 37 timber rattlesnakes .I do have a creek on my property. I have used ammonia in my out Buildings I put the ammonia sour cream container and I Will pour some on the floor to then I close the door and wait for them to come out. It works every time . I have been at my home for 29 years .I hope this will help and all my friends and neighbors have had success to. Also you will want to use a respiratory if you go in to the building or leave the door open to vent out the ammonia. also you can use peppermint in your buildings because mice do not like the smell of peppermint no mice no food for the snakes. Some people use lime powder it does not work either.
Simple truths prove true. Go team!❤❤❤
You missed there’s a whole on the wall next to that water puddle the snakes could hang out inside the house in the big hole along the wall 🤷🏻♀
The Poison ones I get rid of. All the rest are welcome. My Pyr has a particular bark he has that lets me know it is a Rattle Snake. It is different from the typical Deer or Javelin or people bark. So I'm up in the dark to rectify the situation. Thanks.
We have a very bad snake problem in my neighborhood. I’ve lived here a year and have personally had at least 6 different snakes in my yard (yes not the same ones and I am certain of that). We have been working on removing as many bushes/shrubs as the HOA will allow but we need to redo the flower beds and I’m confused as to whether I should use a certain type of mulch or rocks (and if rocks, sharp rocks like lava or tight fitting pebbles). Please help. I have a snake phobia. Btw, there is a farm directly behind my house. Thank you in advance!
Mothballs work just keep them away from kids
@@stackfire9601 No they don't and he just said it in the video! There is another video somewhere on YT where a guy tests products that are rumored to get rid of snakes. I watched to video on moth balls, lyme and snake away! None of them work!
@@tawanabrown3650 you go ahead and believe whatever you like. Over 40 years I know what works 😎
I had one in my house in the basement steps door farmhouse which I’m sure there are places on the foundation where it came in as I sometimes get water in my basement so I’m guessing if I get water in Las Vegas it freaked me out thank God I saw it and had adrenaline enough in my system to catch it in a bucket and throw it outside
I have a snake phobia too
So is there anything you can actually put down to keep snakes away
Mothballs do work and have for generations
what about osage oranges aka hedge apples? or is that just for spiders?
I’ll have to make a video to prove you wrong on the moth balls and one particular item that has been working great for me.
I learned some valuable things from your video. I also like that song reminds me of middle school when I didn’t have to worry about snakes
Apparently it is everclear the music is more annoying than waking with a snake stretched across the face
Where are you located . I need free snake removal in Nashville TN ( huge snakes ) HUGE . Plz help
Didn't realize that placing moth balls outside was illegal.
However, moth balls do work around here. Snake's have highly sensitive nostrils and hate the oder/smell.
They don't smell the have heat sensors with their tongue
A friend of mine has some land in Virginia that's infested with Copperheads in the summer. If he managed to placed some King snakes on his property and they stayed and multiplied, would that handle or at least cut down the Copperhead population?
No. It is not recommended to release pet store king snakes into the wild. They would likely die, potentially spread disease, and/or disrupt the natural ecosystem
@@naturecoastcolubrids I'm not talking about pet store king snakes, I'm talking about hiring a professional to relocate actual wild king snakes onto the property.
@@davidevans3175 relocating snakes more that .5 miles from where they are find is also not a good idea. Usually leads to them dying
@@naturecoastcolubrids OK thanks.
Would y be willing to come to Alabama and help me with my snake problem? I can't get rid of the housing issue for the snakes. I'm literally in the woods with an old broke down house next door.
Jessica mothballs do work just don't let kids around them use a slingshot shoot them up underneath your house throw them underneath the edges of your deck around the perimeter of your yard trust me
People, there are hundreds of different types of snacks here in America. There is only six " venomous " snacks in America
1. The Eastern Diamondback
2. The Sidewinder Diamondback
3. The Pigmey Rattlesnake
4. The Cottonmouth
5. The Water Moccasin
6. The Coral Snake
Everything other than those are good Snakes. They will eat mice, rats, and other Snakes even the bad ones. So if you see a Snake,make sure it's a bad one before killing
Rattlesnake, copperhead, coral snake and water moccasin. Cottonmouth and water moccasin are the same. I think that's what I remember hearing on a educational show.
Copperhead was on my deck on top railing curled up didnt see it start with was even face to face almost when i backed off and looked up i seen it have problems with birds building nest and squirrels dont feed neither of them
I'm on Ohio does sulfur or anything around your house. Irritate snakes? Had 2 in my sister house and her and kids going crazy
Great video. Very helpful.
Can you get rid of the backround noise?
I've heard put ammonia soaking in rags and put it around with the snakes are
Thanks for the video good job
im moving out of florida snakes scare me they keep getting under the mobile home.besides i dont want my dog getting bit,
Ehhhh, I've got garters and bullsnakes living under my house.
Hi. I am in hastings fl. YOu are not far from me. Last year I found a small boa in my yard. I didnt know if you have ever found one in your area?
I live in the middle of the worst area for rattlesnakes in California on 10 acres. How can I make sure not one snake not even a baby ever touches my entire property? I mean never not one single snake I'm worried if I put snake fencing around the whole property that I would be trapping the ones that are already here.
I m here in cali also and i always thought genie hens was the way to go
410 pistols are great 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
What city in CA. do you live? I've had a lizard problem the last 4 summers 😤! Hate any sort of reptiles or rodents 😡!
@@dharobed3329 near Penn Valley ca, west of Grassvalley ca. I sprayed gas under the decks and around the property and keep Wray’s soaked in gas . I’ve killed about 20 huge ones in past 2 years
@@SeanDees okay, kinda North/East. Thank. Good luck up there 🐍 🐍 😬! Be safe
I had not been to my little country getaway in awhile, so went last week and noticed the nice had been having a field day in my old shack. Woke up the next morning, went outside and almost stepped in n a copperhead. Mice = snakes.
