[Dailydrool] Snake avoidance

[Basset911 at aol.com]

Living in snake territory has it's scares, this is for sure.
 
The best advice I ever got about how to be snake secure came in -2-  parts:
 
1).    An old southern kennel trick is to bury a  metronome in a can large 
enough to fit it.  Make sure its level and set it  to swing - the vibration 
keeps snakes at bay - or so the cottonmouth old kennels  of the south tell 
us.
 
2).    Golf courses have a cayenne pepper /cinnamon  herbal spray, this is 
supposedly the big amen on snake guarding.
 
We see one rattlesnake a year, but all neighboring properties in the area  
have huge problems......
Not sure if its because the snake avoidance works, or if snakes would  
rather not slither where 100 bassets trod -
