<DIV>Living in snake territory has it's scares, this is for sure.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The best advice I ever got about how to be snake secure came in -2-
parts:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>2). Golf courses have a cayenne pepper /cinnamon
herbal spray, this is supposedly the big amen on snake guarding.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We see one rattlesnake a year, but all neighboring properties in the area
have huge problems......</DIV>
<DIV>Not sure if its because the snake avoidance works, or if snakes would
rather not slither where 100 bassets trod - </DIV>
