Bros, what should I do to prevent snakes from being around my house? From north central Texas, most worried about water moccasins and copperheads.

You don't. You can help prevent it by taking care of your home and property so they have less places to hunt or hide.

>mocs
Generally a non-issue unless you're around water.

Do you have small children? If not stop being such a pussy. Snakes are friends. Learn how to identify on sight. Best way to remove snakes is to remove their prey, snakes go where the food is. Foods gone they go somewhere else

Planning on having children soon, so that’s my main worry. I also fucking hate snakes and have nightmares about them regularly. Man up I know, they’re fine I just don’t want them around my house. Planning on turning the shed behind my house into a home gym, with a sauna if I can, so I don’t want them sneaking around in the inside.
We also have a well that I think always has snakes near it, so if I ever need to use it I would like to not get snagged trying to.

The dude above talking about bull and gopher snakes is a retard, they are not snake eaters nor are they gonna push out the venomous snakes especially Cottons and Coppers. The only snake eater thats gonna be around your area is the King Snake. For your sauna and pool remove any debris that might be present around thr surrounding area ( planks, loose rocks, pieces of tin ect) if you could send a photo or two of your AO I could point out some more changes if need be. If you dont have any bodies of water on your property cottons are not going to be an issue as they are primarily fish and amphibian eaters. Sort of for copperhead too they're amphibian consoomers they still can be present if there is a lack of water though. Learn to not be afraid of snakes and having nightmares of snakes? Do you have nightmares of dogs too because pittbulls kill more people a year in the u.s than snakes do

Snakes are natually skittish because they live on the ground, so you can just scare them away by walking towards them clapping your hands together quickly.

Cats can help kill nonvenomous snakes which do a better job at rodent control. If its venomous snakes that are plauging your lands, the cat is gonna die from a bite.

Have you ever seen any venomous snakes on your property? Or do you think you've seen them. Misidentification is a biggie with these venomous snake stories. I remember people all throughout my life claiming they've seen cottommouths and killed them ect ect and I live in upstate Pennsylvania...

Chickens, turkeys, guineas will eat smaller snakes. Look into guineas, amazing warning birds. Now those birds are gonna be killing and possibly dying from non venomous and venomous rodent eaters. Rattlesnake, rat snake, bull/ gopher/king/milk.

Best advice is to start learning more about snakes the more you know about them the less scary and worrisome they become. You don't want to raise kids that will be afraid of them and see their father being afraid and uneducated with local wildlife would you?

You cant compare the two, pitbulls are a recent man made creature whereas snakes have been a threat to us before we evolved into sapiens and it is thought that the fear of them is hardwired into us from evolution (obviously some more than others). This is one of those "feelings don't give a fuck about your facts" issues.

if your yard is fenced add 3ft of 1/4 inch mesh to the bottom of the fence, with at least a couple inches of it buried. remove any debris wood piles tarps etc which could give them a hiding place in the yard. put draft stoppers on the shed doors. it's not really that hard to relocate snakes safely either, get a 3ft stick from tongs.com and pick the snake up 1/3 of the way down the body from the head. use a stick or board or something to support the tongs with your other hand and carry it off into the woods or put it in a 5gal bucket with a screw top. theres classes you can take and the youtube channel rattlesnake solutions has a lot of videos of them doing it.

also it would pay to work on your fear of snakes in general. go to a herpetological society someplace and ask to handle some of the non venomous ones maybe. we live on the earth with them regardless and while it's good to be careful fear really doesn't help anyone.

Don't leave animal feed or cracked corn around your property. More rotting feed means more pests and snakes come to eat pests.
Another way to get rid of snakes is having a couple chickens.
Chickens will peck and eat small snakes which makes them less likely to reside on your property.
Don't turn/till composting soil either. Snakes seem to enjoy loose rotting earth.
If you get chickens feed them sunflower seeds.
Seeds that sprout into flowers instead of rotting like traditional bird seed or animal feed such as cracked corn.

So I'm in the mid Atlantic, on 10 acres in the woods. When I bought my house the property was neglected and we had TONS of copperheads. Tons of brush, leaves and wood piles left all around close to the house. Absolute snake paradise. At first I thought it was cool. I grew a a nature guy, loved Steve Irwin , and always caught snakes using a long stick and a trashcan, pillow case etc.
Well, one of them bit my dog and that was that. Sorry snake bros you gotta go. Started clearing all the wood and brush, cutting trees along the wood line to expand the yard, just giving my immediate area around my house a larger buffer zone. I went from getting 20 copperheads the first year to now I saw maybe 2 last year. The black snakes and such are fine, but now I've got kids I ain't playing that game, sorry snake bros.

Put a bunch of cut cucumbers around the perimeter of your house.
New snakes will not want to compete with the supposed existing alphas, and will retreat.

It may seem basic to the point of being dumb, but if you're worried about running into snakes while you're cleaning the place, make sure you've got a good thick pair of leather work gloves and boots, and if you have to flip over rocks or logs or other things snakes could hide under, try to do it with a long stick first.

t. Used to live in AR. When I was about 12, a dumbass buddy went flipping rocks to look for snakes. He found a rattler and it bit the shit out of his hand. They had to fly him down to Little Rock to get the anti-venom and his arm was black, blue, and twice it's usual width for like 3 months.

Good luck having any meaningful fraternity when you sexualize all the MEN around you.

Gays are like women, led by their carnal desires and appetites.
