    Moth to flame? This one ain't gonna make it. There's no break in the cold temps in the forecast.

    Ever see that show about infestation? The one episode was where an entire family was driven from their recently purchased dream home by having the misfortune of it being located over a den of snakes...not just a couple but hundreds that would slither through the yard and reproduce down in the cellar...kinda gives you the hebe gebes don't it:jaw::rofl: :lol:

    Garter snakes don't bother me one bit scavenger. I have seen black racers in my garage and they are just fine too. Poisonous snakes are a different matter, but plain old non-poisonous snakes are my friends. They are welcome in any garden or wood pile that I have. They keep down the insects and rodents that would otherwise become a problem for me to need to deal with. Sometimes natural controls, like snakes, are things you must ignore unless you are willing to spend time and effort doing the things they would do for you at no charge.

    The first one pictured was already released. They don't bother me either, but I don't want them in the house.
