yeah thought about getting some guineas... i remeber as a kid my grandmother had some and they would make all kinds of noise when they saw a snake.

Ive Always Heard That Guineas Are Good At Keeping Snakes Away..^^^^^^

i've see 2 blue indigos out there and still have a bunch of snakes

Must have a good food supply for them to keep coming back. I alway thought that having cats around, was because they ate all the rodents and left nothing for the snakes.

Snake Away. I cannot testify to the effectiveness but I have used this to put a barrier between my camp (travel trailer & cabin) and the woods. Knock on wood, I have never seen a snake there before I started doing this, but it seemed like cheap insurance, especially with having 2 small kids there.

my wife is working on getting some cats.... I’m not sure why the snakes like coming up to my house so much. i read online that rattlesnakes don't like diesel. so i sprayed all my fence line with diesel, trying to make a barrier. well the snake i killed last night was sitting right inside of the barrier. not sure what made the snake rattle, maybe it was diesel burning its skin or something....

mongoose would probably work the best. anyone have any for sale...LOL

Maybe he was trying to get out

Those work pretty well but they don't make it long in coyote country
My neighbor had about 6 or so a few years ago that disappeared pretty quick.

well killed another 4 footer Friday afternoon. so Saturday i decided to go snake hunting. i walked the fence lines, beating on the brush and looking into every hole i could find. then i decided to go look through some of the barns on the place. i walked into one of the barns and there were 2 big snakes (4' and 5') mating. they were all balled up. i wasn't sure what going to happen once i caught the first one. so i got my bucket read and grabbed the bigger 5' and was hoping the other one would try to attack me. lucky the second one took off and hid under some pipe. once i got the first on in the bucket, i started to move some of the pipe around until i got the second one.

So that’s 5 big snakes in about 3-4 weeks. thats just way to many snakes

Guineas would be my choice. You will need to let them get big enough to be able to get away from the coyotes before you let them loose, but once they find a tree to roost in, the normally stay there. They are great alarms and they're great for killing snakes!!

Guinea Hens are great....ours are snake killing machines.

The snakes are there because of free meals, i.e. mice. Start putting out mice/rat poison to get the mice/rats and the snakes will leave for better pastures...not much else will work (besides momma cats), that will thin out the mice. Also don't feed the cats as they will not hunt mice on a full stomach....
