  This photo was taken this morning & the stare off went on for a half hour , before the Lizard slowly backed up into my Hot Tub in between the insulation panel & the outer wood like cover . The Snake ( Black Racer ) then started to use flicker its tongue , for the first time , like he know the sent was there , but couldn't find him . 
   The Snake finally moved off , plenty more Lizards around for the Snake to fatten up on .

   The way I look at it , the Lizards help keep the bug problem down & the Snakes keep the Lizard population down , they are both helping me . Now the Bad Snakes are killed with extreme prejudice , I have lakes & woods & streams behind my house ,  I kill several poisonous snakes a year . I haven't seen an Alligator in the back yard for a couple of years .

Once again. Kill em both.....just because.

 

Buy some ortho for the insects.

 

 

 You would have to put a blanket of that crap around my house & it still wouldn't stop the bugs down here !   That much would probably kill my dogs , then us & the bugs would take over my home . <lmao>

Dude, don't kill black snakes, rat snakes, black racers, or whatever you want to call them.  Relocate it if you have to, but you want him to get about 4-5 ft long so he'll start eating all your rattlesnakes (or at least killing them).  Rattlesnake venom won't hurt a black snake.  Hell, I've seen a 5 ft Eastern Diamondback get killed in a faceoff with a 6 ft black snake (about, I was too amazed to catch it) back when I was growing up.  Then again, we had 12 ft Indigos out there, too...

Point is, as long as he doesn't get in your house, he'll keep rats, wolf spiders (my least favorite), and poisonous snakes away, as well as several other species.  They WILL eat your rabbits and chickens, though, and you don't want little kids playing with a bigazz snake, so use your best judgement.

Fuk that snake.  That thing needs the giant dude from Last of the Mohicans killing it with that warclub-from-hell.
