We had some Banks Roses planted all across the back yard growing up the fence and they became to big to take care of so we had a landscaper take them out for us and I new there was a King Snake here for a long time and I told my DH he lived under the shed and his name was slimeeey. Well the landscaper was working and we found 4 of these snakes coming out of the bushes. I told my husband on the first one to take it away. Then 1/2 hr passed and I went out on the patio and another one was wrapped around my grandson's bike seat. The landscaper took them away down by his house 12 miles and turned them lose by the river. I think we still have one because my grandson saw it last yr in some other bushes. King snakes keep rattle snakes away but I don't want 4 or 5. I am glad we don't have the bushes anymore.
