Garter snakes
I am a city girl transplanted to the country last fall, so critters are not my favourite things. Like them from afar but not near me. We have a family of garter snakes living by the house. First I saw a couple sunning themselves on the stone porch- they slithered up and under the siding of the house!! My DH put moth balls there and they moved to the garden by the side door. Will those 18" long beings come into the house? I am very leery of finding one curled up somewhere. I know they are harmless and actually will eat other unwanted bugs and things, but... Now I need to get out and do some gardening and am scared of stepping on one, or worse yet, touching one. Any suggestions to help this Toronto raised girl?
