Title: snake poison
Post by: tillyfloss on March 16, 2011, 14:20:51 PM: Can anyone recommend a good snake poison that doesn't kill other 'good' bugs etc in the garden. Don't really fancy putting anything on the garden but after seeing one of those horrendous black and grey things a couple of seasons ago I think it may be a good idea!

If there is such stuff where could I get it from?

So, if you've already got them on your property, they won't leave.:D

But I don't know what this is and I'm sure if it harms snakes it must harm other lovelies such as lizards, frogs and the like......we have seen snakes in our garden, but treat them with respect. Not my favourite things, but i would never do them any harm.

But does what it says on the tin - snakes wont cross it at all - just dribble it round your property. We had a big snake decided to get into my downstairs semi sealed patio but it met my mate AXEY! and lost its head! I HATE SNAKES with a vengence!!

KKNOB I agree but if you can get them out, kill them or whatever, these will keep them out for maybe a year and then , with top up dosage, you should be ok.
