Wow, this is timely.
My mom is terrified of snakes and a couple of days ago she was in her yard and a snake showed up and scared her. She quickly grabbed her wasp spray and sprayed him. He disappeared under the fence.
Yesterday she went to lay out in her hammock and noticed when the breeze blew from the north there was a horrid smell. Apparently the snake went under the fence and died. Now she feels bad.
