on 3/9/2007 This is for getting rid of snakes . i'm from South Carolina and I live in Atlanta , Ga now . Growing up in a farming family , it is a Southern custom to use lime . Lime irritates and eats away at a snakes or any retiles skin , so they stay miles away from it ( smile ) . You can buy bags of lime at any feed and seed store , your local wal-mart , home depot , or lowes . We in the South have always sprinkled lime under our houses, yards, and gardens . Its a proven scientific method , and its not harmful to humans at all ! Good luck .

on 2/16/2007 We spray our entire property line with diesel, it tends to keep the snakes at bay. However, not forever (unfortunately)!

on 8/8/2006 Run them over with your lawnmower!
This keeps the population under control for sure! I hate snakes - I do not want some attempt to control them. I want them dead.

on 8/8/2006 Along with a generous sprinkling of mothballs, we were told to sprinkle course sand in our basement. Snakes have a very sensitive underbelly and the sand really irritates them. We have not seen a snake in the house for years now! For the outside we use Snakeaway. It works very well in our environment.
