Getting rid of water moccasins?
Posted on 3/21/14 at 9:32 pm

We have some water moccasins around our beach house. We've caught one in a trap and shot one. Are there any other ways to get rid of these snakes or make them move to another area?
Would introducing black snakes help?
Thanks

In order to get rid of the snake, you need to make it less desirable. Get rid of stuff that they can slide/hide under, including brush/hedges providing cover, seal gaps under decks
You may want a fence to keep them out.
If all else fails

Oil in the water. Set it on fire. Sell beach house.

Throw some moth balls around the place. Real ones made from naptha, not that imitation shite.
Snakes cannot stand to be around naptha.

You and I always think alike.
Going to look for that boxer under the Essen overpass.

Put horse semen in and around the house. You'll thank me after.

THE EFFICACY OF NAPHTHALENE AND SULFUR REPELLENTS TO CAUSE
AVOIDANCE BEHAVIOR IN THE PLAINS GARTER SNAKE
DENNIS M. FERRARO, Urban Pest Management, University of Nebraska Cooperative Extension, 8015 West Center Road, Omaha, NE 68124
Abstract: The efficacy of naphthalene, sulfur, and a commercial combination of these chemicals as a repellent against the plains
garter snake (Thamnophis radix) was investigated. Behavioral tests were conducted using 96 recently captured snakes to determine
whether significant avoidance results from the presence of these chemicals. Field tests were performed at 24 locations in
the snakes' home range and in unfamiliar habitats. In both home ranges and unfamiliar habitats application of potential repellents
did not result in significant avoidance behavior. The snakes may be able to sense these volatile chemicals, but the stimuli
were unable to alter their behavior. Based on this study, tendency to seek cover, refuge, familiar habitat, or to investigate unfamiliar
areas was stronger than deterrence of the chemicals. Because the substances tested did not elicit avoidance behavior in the
plains garter snake, usage of these repellents should be discouraged. Habitat modification for snake management is discussed as
an alternative to the application of chemical repellents.

I have an old video of me going snake golfing with a pitching. Wedge and 18 water moccasins somewhere. A 12 pack and a pitchin wedge is all I used to use to take care of them.

Just think of it as your own personal time to relax, a nice hunting trip in your backyard, and then just go out there and shoot the bastards.
