wasp spray will kill them. I am one of those who cannot even look at a picture of one, so I have MANY cans of wasp spray since I live close to a swamp. btw - if you have a cat, be glad. in a face off between a snake and a cat, cat wins 99 out of 100 times! Our neighbors have cats for this very reason, and I bribe them with treats.

I saw one huge water snake climb up the barn door and disappear. I didn't go back into that barn for months because I knew he was in there. This was a BIG snake at least 4' long and 2-3 inches around. I'm shivering just thinking about it again.
I yelled for my son to come and help. He came, took one look at the snake and disappeared. I kept calling him but no luck so I finally went into the house. When he came down the stairs I asked why he didn't help and he said he was looking in the encyclopedia to see what kind of snake it was. ;-) |
There is snake away.
Smells just awful too. A lot like moth balls. Be careful around pets. Comes in a white bottle with red and black label. Can get it at some garden centers too. |
Snakes can climb up, but they really don't like the roughness that much. If that is any consolation.

I heard that snakes won't cross through oil either.
A gal that I know lived in the south and she poured used engine oil around her fence line and snakes never crossed it. I think it clogged the pours in the bellies or something. If the snake away gets wet you have to replace it. |
I have heard a snake won't crawl over a rope, but am not sure if that is true. Try putting a big, rough rope around the perimeter of your balcony.

yes they can climb.Here in the country we use sulfur to sprinkle around our property line but after a rain we have to redo it.

Yep They can climb :cry:
