dynamite the slithering busterds I hate them!🚫🐍🔨

Great video. As a professional humane wildlife trapper in Florida with a specialty in snakes I support you all the way. I was so relieved that you never mentioned Snake Away...never, ever, ever,ever...use Snake Away unless you just like spending money.

Indiana Jones should see this. LOL! Snakes scare him to death.

Great idea! Now the snakes can keep the house rodent-free without scaring the crap out of visitors!

Get Indiana Jones to do this. LOL! He could be your partner.

@WonderWomanFan4life Me too! That house scared me.. AHHHH!

He's cute. I wouldn't mind his snake ;-)

Eat them! They taste like chicken.

hey if you can cure that house in Salem Idaho of all those SNAKES they have. then you are a BAD ASSS MOFO.. until then its just jibber jaw gum bumping chitchat. have you seen that house with all the snakes??? thats how i came over here.

snake invested

@beentheredonethatb4 and the mothballs work great for everything you listed as well... im in texas i have the same problems and water moc... so i would try it if you need help

start with putting the mothball right outside the home... after a day or so put them about 10 feet out and 10 more feet a day later and so on... put 1 moth ball every 3-5 ft and it should help a ton... its not gonna totally keep ALL the snakes away but it cuts the down ALOT im in the south and have tons of clients that swear by them... i also use them and hvent had any problems

mothballs work great.... its the same as snake away .... snake away is just ground up and has sulfur in it

@franktx1 Not in the south. There are copperheads, rattlesnakes, cotton mouths, etc. These are not harmless and they are not just lizards without legs. They are poisonous and can be deadly.

get a flamethrower and 10 mongooses :3

I live in Nebraska, and had big problem with bull snakes. Especially in the Spring when it starts to warm up and in the fall when it starts to get cold. If you have a broken sidewalk that has a void under it, or a crack in the foundation that allows entry into a crawl space, seems like the snakes love to setup housekeeping in those places. Also slipping under/through the garage door seal is a way for snakes to get into the house.
