ok, I have a very loose stone / dirt foundation. So I am probably sure my very damp crawl space / basement has some snakes crawling around. I personally have never seem them down there. UNTIL this morning, I was mowing and this very small black snake scurried into the stones where my crawl space is. I really am not to scared of snakes if they are outside. My wife is terrified of them. I don't like them if they are in my house however.. How do I get them to stay out?
