you have already had a lot of replies on this, and it seems that no one likes snakes, it is the only thing that i will kill these days, my pond was very infested with snakes until we started mowing the grass down at waters edge. snakes do not like a clean enviorment, anything that they can get under rocks, boats, brush,drain pipes, they will, but if you have fish and frogs, which normally is what we strive for, you will end up with fish moccassins, cotton mouth, ( that's the real bad boy) just go out real early in morning with your weapon of choice. david903
