Yesterday while finishing up a waterline under my house, I chanced to spy a HUGE rattle snake crawling under the skirting of our house. Not being a shotgun owner (Past Tense) I ran looking for a shovel... Realizing the handle of the shovel is only 6 foot long and I wasn't about to get to within 10 feet on purpose, I tried throwing a huge log at its head. Needless to say the Diamondbacks aren't going to be interested in me as a pitcher! In this video I do a house walk-around showing where the nefarious snake made it's entrance. In the near future is will be posting videos daily about the work done to snake proof our house & yard and to get rid of the rattlesnake that I have nicknamed "Unwanted". My first foray into snake repellant was dismal in that animal control told me to place Moth Balls under my house. This sounded fairly easy as this time of year we have lots of moths hovering around all our lights at night.. Upon closer inspection, how do I tell which moths have them. jk - snakes don't have noses for smelling like we do, they have whats called Jacobsen's Organ on the roof of their mouths which is used to find prey and scientific studies have shown moth balls have no effect (Affect) on snakes. If any of you have suggestions on how a person who is not particularly fond of snakes can get a rather large and ominous looking one out from under his house please comment below. If you are willing to go under the house and get him call me at 435 375-1658 I would like to hire you!
