    I have also heard about moth balls keeping snakes away. I have never had the need to try it but I have always heard that they work.

    Our barn cats demolished the snake population here over the course of a summer...copperheads and all. There's nothing meaner than an old nasty mama barn cat.

    Our 14 yr old dog just had cancer a few days ago and is very weak. That big snake would have really compromised her health. Wish I could have killed it.
