I have 3 emails from my wife today in ALL CAPS that SHE NEEDS A SNAKE TRAP NOW!!!!! Apparently our newly laid down bark mulch and our many rock walls have all sprouted snakes this year. Not many in the last years but it seems every time she goes in the landscaping or bushes she sees another (harmless) garter snake.

I try to catch and relocate for her but can't keep ahead of them. We can't take down the rocks in the retaining wall.

Any worthwhile traps that would catch them? How about the advertised sticky traps?

I see snake repellent online which is basically granules or powdered sulfur with some cinnamon and clove oil. but that is supposed to be a barrier on the perimeter of your yard to keep them OUT but what if they are already all holed up in your yard!

What to do?
