Hi Pat, Are the snakes in your area poisonous?  In my area it would be almost impossible to run into a poison snake in the garden.  I have never been overly squeamish about creepy crawly things, maybe cause my parents weren't.  Granted I do not enjoy picking ticks off myself and whenever I see a snake it usually startles me but then I like to go back at look at it they are pretty.  Plus while I think mice are cute I have already lost a few seedling to I assume mice.  Some of the seedlings were in the basement and some in the greenhouse.  So no snakes would mean too many mice.
But I know many people feel the same as you even my organic food customers hence the reason I break the tips off of any corn with lovely worms :).  Beth

Ok, so my whimpiness is coming out...don't laugh.  :)
 
How, or does anyone even try to keep snakes out of your gardens? People tell me there are some good snakes that eat bugs and other snakes, but I'm convinced the only good snake is a dead one. Haven't seen to many of them lying around except for the one our little Eskie proudly displayed yesterday and one the horses tried to play football with.
 
Any suggestions please???
 
Thanks,
Pat
