Let me just say - gross- but efective we hope. :P :P

Have you guys ever heard of using little ceramic eggs as a means of snake control? The snakes think they are real eggs and eat them. Then the eggs break as the snakes digest them and squeeze them. Then the snake dies. Seems pretty effective.
If you believe big government is the solution then you are a liberal. If you believe big government is the problem then you are a conservative.

The ceramic eggs are a pretty hands off way of killing snakes so maybe this would work for you?

Only if I don't have to see them, or touch, them or be around them.....yeah it would work. :) :)

That ceramic must be pretty fragile.

On the other hand acetaminophen,a dangerous pain reliever,will kill snakes very quickly,according to the article.

Acetaminophen can also kill humans if taken  too long.It will destroy the liver.Next time you take an over-the-counter pain reliever,read the ingredients on the label.I'm not saying that ALL pain relievers contain acetaminophen,they do not,but you have to be careful when taking any drugs,OTC or prescriptions. I do not take prescription medications AT ALL.

I only take the ones my doctor makes me... :P :P  Personally I don't like taking much of anything.  Most aches and pains can be helped with a shot of Crown Royal and a good nights sleep. ;) ;) ;)
