Snake infestation

[hotbiggun]

Get rid of their food source. Mice, rats etc. Just being in there will scare them off over time.

I talked to a local guy who does pest control. He said he’s done this before and more than likely the female has left enough pheromones that the house is probably a breeding ground and will continue to attract snakes from miles around unless it is completely gutted. I think I’m going to pass on this house.

Sounds like that guy doesn’t like snakes and had a preconceived notion of talking you out of hiring him lol

You could always use the snake infestation to get a really good price. Then either keep it or fix it up and flip it.

Years ago a lady's house was full of snakes, they put a tent around it and sprayed bombed it with some chemical. That seemed to work for her. This was 40 years ago.

I remember those tents. Kind of freaky.

My friend Walter White loved them.

Aren't those what they use for termites in NOLA?

yes, termites.

I wouldnt have gone in the snake-bombed house after that for months. There would be dead animals all
in the walls and stuff.

Agreed - I would much rather run them off than trap them in the walls to die.

The black snake(s) will leave once there is nothing left to eat, i.e. mice, insects, etc. You might want to consider some rodent/insect control for the dwelling. Not snake control. I had a pretty large pine snake in my attic at one time. Once all the mice were gone it left; never to return again.

From what I have hear it is hard to get rid of trouser snakes. I had a friend who was into them in a big way. Had to stop talking to him, he was difficult, I just could not keep it up. He did tell me that a big trouser snake will usually run off the small ones, he called it stiff competition. He liked to go hands on, guess he was not worried about getting shot with some venom. I steer clear, for obvious reasons.

LMMFAO!!!! Oh hell, just stop, I had some pee come out and soiled MY trousers!!!

So he has a bid in on the house too ?

Just be careful as I have heard that fresh urine will attract trouser snakes, especially if said urine is in or on a currently occupied pair of trousers. This does not apply to all trouser snakes, just the rainbow variety. Consider yourself warned...

They are probably there for the mice. Get rid of the food and they will move on. Too bad cooler weather is coming. That will slow down their departure. If it's warm they will move on quickly.
