    Awesome advise, thank you. I live in Florida and just had a water moccasin up under my steps on my porch where my dogs are fenced-in at and the dogs let me know that he was there. We said bye bye to the moccasin. But I'll now go buy these and put them as needed around the house and the Border on my property line. Thank you again.

    I used mothballs to keep feral cats out of my yard..I lived in Las Vegas NV…. I suntanned every day for 30 or 40 minutes .. I used baby oil iodine combination old school and cats would climb up and lay in my patio furniture so I didn’t see the hair at first ..when I would get up from sunning ..I would be covered in hair and you can only imagine how much hair was on my body from using oil… so this is the combo that works throw mothballs all around your yard on your furniture yes you smell ammonia but that dissipates… animals do not like ammonia ..squirrels rabbits snakes deer.. you name it ..dogs and cats I don’t want shitting and pissing in my yard and I don’t want to lay in their hair…

    We have a bumper crop of copperheads this year in North Carolina. My best friends greyhound died yesterday from a copperhead bite. I have a little miniature pinscher mix. I am on a mission to keep snakes out of my yard. I have 5 outside cats and some chickens, which helps a lot, but I'm willing to put so many moth balls in my yard that it looks like a hail storm passed by.

      So the "plastic container with holes trick" is to put the moth balls in a plastic container among or around the veggies and it smells but doesn't mess up the soil? I've been placing them on the brick border i put around the raised beds but maybe i should use a container to keep it more safe?

    I’ve heard of this snake remedy before. I’ve tried it and not really sure how well it worked only because I was not noticing many snakes either way. The other thing I’ve done is peeing near areas where snakes might travel or hide out. Yes, I’ve done this, but usually at dark and first making sure that no one was around. A Kentucky friend of mine told me of that remedy years ago. There are plenty of trees on my 1.3 acres of land. I’m in the yard most often, so when the urge hits me, I take advantage of it. I’ve also heard that hedge apples work well. Not sure on any of it though. Thoughts? Have a great day and a Happy New Year! The Porter Dude of Ohio. 🤩

On the other hand, those that do ... black snakes, indigo snakes (which are endangered and protected), garden snakes, corn snakes, etc. are not only completely harmless but will try to remain out of your way, even your sight yet ensure that your yard and home are free of rats and mice ...

Of course, you don’t want your beloved fur baby eating one. If you put them in your house, just put them in places your pets can’t get to. It’s just like w/ pesticides. You put the poison in places your pets can’t get to. The info you have given is good for people to know.

The guy said that he hated to tell me that there was snake skins under the house. If I threw boxes of moth balls under will it force the snake out if they are under the plastic? Worse yet up under the insulation? Should I try throwing tons of moth balls under there and then place moth balls around the perimeter like a week later? It's cold where I live in the mountains of Western Maryland. Thank you for your advice.

    Hiya,
    Got any suggestions to get rid of chipmunks? I have a bunch that live under my front and back deck and throughout my yard. They must go. I live in East Tawas, Michigan and between the chipmunks, ticks I now have, snakes and other stuff I'm about to freak out.

      We don’t all live in your house, but we all share the environment. When you put poison into the environment, it often travels out of your yard. You might think your little bit of poison is inconsequential, but look at all these people in the comments abt to run out and put poison in their gardens too.
