I have a problem and need to get rid of some snakes. They are just garter snakes but my wife is completely terrified of them. If she see’s one she’ll run screaming at the top of her lungs and won’t go outside for a few days. I try to hut it down and kill it but can’t always find them.

I know they are beneficial, eat bugs, more scared of you, blah, blah, blah but when someone is that terrified of them all reason goes out the door and I just want to be rid of them for her sanity and mine.

We live next to the woods and a small creek and that sure doesn’t help. I’ve used Snake Away that seems to work but is expensive after a while. I even bought some electronic devises that send a sonic wave into the ground to chase them away  (at $100 a pop) but she saw a snake right next to one of them. They are sensitive to smell and will avoid mothballs, etc but I have a large area that wouldn’t smell too good with mothballs everywhere.

Is there a trap I can use? Some kind of poison? I don’t necessarily want to kill them but I have no problem doing so.

Thanks.
