Snakes under the house

Did anyone see the news, maybe it was just local her in Sonoma county.

A lady saw a snake go under her house and called the man who takes care of removing them.

He found 97 snakes under her house, some babies. They were not garden snakes, but had rattlers.

He said with the drought they are looking for water and if water is under your home when you water, that is where they will go.

Now I'm scared. Also they like to follow lizards. A few months ago a baby lizard came in my kitchen back door. I got it out, but a few weeks later saw him in a corner of the house outside. Haven't seen since, but last nights news made me scared. Ugh.

They may be nesting there for a steady water supply, but what in the world are they eating?

What is providing a sufficient diet for 97 snakes in a reasonable radius around that house?

And gee, you'd think maybe she'd notice skins being shed in the yard before they got to 97!

That would be a nightmare that I could not successfully forget.

I, too, would want to sell the place.

I bet the stench is horrendous. I saw a show about a house that was infested with snakes and the homeowners said the first thing they noticed was the awful smell....yuck!

This is too scary to even think about! There must be some way to deter them?

We returned Wednesday from a two week RV trip. I went to turn on the back yard hose, and heard a sound that sounded kind of like a hissing bug. I turned around to reach for the faucet, and there was a coiled rattler, two feet from me. I ran in the house and yelled for DH.In the 15 years since having this house, it is the first time encountering one. A western diamondback..Scared the begeebers out of me. We called animal control and they said they don't deal with rattle snakes , so DH was able to catch and dispose of it. Now I tip toe rather gingerly when going near the backyard.😳

Google Idaho family abandons snake-infested house. Their problem was just garter snakes and they ended up abandoning the house and declaring bankruptcy.

And I thought my big problem was with ANTS! Ha! Tho for a while it seemed my house was above a giant ant farm, eventually the infestation was mostly controlled and now I only have an occasional intrusion. And did I just jinx myself?
