I have killed 8 garter snakes and 1 copperhead this year.
I'm like you no snakes for me! I had a dog once that actually searched my 1 1/2 acres for snakes. She found them and she killed them.
She died from cancer and I not only miss her I miss the job she performed. Now I have to carry a hoe around with me in case I see one.
