Of course your bird population will suffer a bit also. Snakes are a better option. Now, a couple of free range black snakes would be welcome. But then I'd have to figure out a way to keep the dogs from attacking them. They are fast and will bite if cornered. They aren't poisonous but would you want to be bitten by something whose main diet is lizzards moles mice and other snakes? I'm not worried about me getting bit, I'd be worried about the dogs killing the snake. |

AFAIK that snake still lives under my FILe's AC unit |

Of course your bird population will suffer a bit also. Snakes are a better option. Shoot 'em. Shoot 'em all. Napalm their homes, flood their tunnels, Agent Orange their habitat. After all, they're part of that dangerous crowd of marauding mexican chipmunks. Kill all the birds, too, and the squirrels and any wandering foxes. Dig up the group and get thos nasty earthworms. Cut down your trees and pave over the grass. That'll teach those nasty critters.  |
