My cure, torch the shed and run like h for higher ground. I too hate these guys. I would assume every box had a few. Don't take it lightly. Ok, is this a wife's tale. I take hair clippings and stuff them where I know snakes are living. They like to nest behind my back stairs, When I would give hair cuts and when I clean brushes the hair goes there. I put hubby's hair there. Does anyone know?
