Angry Snakes

Every weekend I'm finding copperhead snakes in my yard .......usually just the babies, less than 10". I've tried the rubber owls and snake-away...not working.

Aside from getting a cat, anyone have any ideas?

I had snakes under the house until I started putting mothballs under the house.

snakes are really tough. I had them at my old house, and I hate to discourage you, but I never figured out a way to completely get rid of them. let me know if something works for you!

Mothballs are good , I was watching "Dirty Jobs" on the Discovery channel and some company called Vexcon was using moth balls to get rid of snakes
I could not find a good link, so copy and paste this in a search engine and go from there, these people are REAL good
