I have only had one snake in the yard since we installed the fence and it had come in through a gopher hole - and sure enough bit my Great Dane.
Apparently, they sell some stuff that smells bad to snakes at the "Do-it-yourself pest control" stores, but I have heard it does not work well and our yard is huge, so we decided to install the fence. |
Ah, thank for the info!
I'm new to Texas, but some people that were born and raised here, mentioned that they use moth balls to prevent certain animals from coming on to their property (raccoons, skunks, etc.). I wonder if that would work for snakes; however, if your yard is quite large, it would definitely not be cost effective.
I know the moth balls worked for skunks, as my previous dog had been sprayed about 6x in his life, LOL.
