What is the easiest way to kill a snake?

Question

a). cut its head off
b). burn it
c). run it over with lawnmower
d). just leave it alone

Answer 1

Unless you feel endangered by this snake, and it not just some unjustifed fear or hatred of snakes, leave it alone. If you are uncomfortable with snakes, use a product like sanke-a-way, to repel them. If it is a venomous snake, that poses a threat to you, your family, or pets then kill it but only if the snake-a-way is not realistic solution. Assuming it is a residential yard and shooting it is not a legal option, then use a spade, and chop it's head off.

Answer 2

In most cases, I would say just leave it alone. But if you think it might be poisonous and a threat to your family and/or your pets: (1) find a brave friend and equip them with a rake and bring along a coffee can with lid. (2) you bring the shovel. The rake helps to hold them down while you chop off the head. Put the head in a the can and dispose of it as it could still contain venom. Good Luck !!

Answer 3

The last time I had to deal with a snake, I chopped off its head. Burning it before its dead would be cruel, and if it gets out from under the lawnmower alive it will come out mad- and looking for you.

The second best would be to leave it alone, if it's not near where some kid or family pet can get at it.

Answer 4
