OK I got a snake problem and I am stumped as to what to do. In my dog yard a copperhead has decided to make up a residence!!! Well it has bit 3 of my dogs, one dog twice!!! I know its hole because I saw its tail going into it one day a little while ago. I just gave him some good ol gasoline and lit it up!!! Well no snake came out... And I never see the darn thing. What will kill it??? Tried a cat, and well in the dog yard it only lasted a few days. So any ideas?  I have tried digging him up, so I might have made him move homes, but it just bit another dog this week. I'm lost!!! |

If its already in the yard, man I don't know.
Guinea and pea fowell kill snakes I think, but again, in dog yard.
They sell a product at lowes/home depot...snake away I think it's called. It's granular. We used it in pest control....I honestly can't vouch for how well it works.
Also...if you know for a fact where he is staying....large rat glue boards work. Lay them out around the hole/brush pile, whatever. I have used these with success.

Here's some suggestions that may help. Any tin or brush piles that may be lying around in the yard....do away with them. Snakes love to hide underneath stuff like that. If he's hanging around, you likely have a good supply of rodents wether ya see em or not. Set some rodent traps as well. If you do away with his food source and easy hiding spots, he may very well move on. Hope that helps!

SULPHER powder. Fling sulpher powder or pellets all over the yard and especially around your dogs either in a kennel or a chain, put the sulpher at the outer most edge where the dogs cant get to it n leave a gap in the fence leadin into a neighbors yard n give it a wk or so n then seal the hole up with sulpher.

well if it's one hole it's another. you put gas in one hole, and it came out another. find the other hole and put gas in both of them. it also could be a den. i hope you find them. sorry about your dogs.

King snakes. Go get a couple and put them in the yard. They won't hurt dogs but will eat the copperheads.

get you some game hens and let run the yard . i don't know how many mine have found and bayed up for me lol . if you see a few hens gathered around an area looking at the ground you can bet they have a snake cornered. the hens will let you know if a snake is around and they will pester it until it leaves or you kill it . i killed more copperheads on this 3 acre wood lot after i moved in than i have seen in all my years in the woods , and the hens found most of them .

Dub and Halfbreed both have good plans! Lol
A "Black Racer" as most country folk call them, is an Indigo King Snake. Fairly common in Texas and the southern states. They get big, 5-7 feet. Would be perfect.

Ok....I checked myself....not true....two different snakes. Anyway...you can find the Indigo King in Texas but any type of king snake would work. As far as "Racers" I can't say for certain they eat other snakes. |

Water hose in the hole flood him out! I don't know about a snake but I saw a field mouse running across the yard one day tried to catch him he shot down a hole I grabbed the water hose took about 5 minutes to fill up the holes but they had a front and back door and I killed about 10 that started coming out when I flooded em.
