I shot the snake that lives by my front door with plastic bb's, he was reeallly angry! About a month later I found his shed skin almost as if he left it to prove I would need to do more to make him leave his home.

That might cause me to switch to night vision goggles!

@MizJ I just stay out of the grass as much as I can. You don’t need night vision goggles to see them. Those blue eyes shine like headlights when the flashlight hits them.

@Barnie2years That's why I would prefer the goggles to a flashlight, I don't want to see those eyeballs glowing!

I like the idea of not using poison.

@MizJ me too, with dogs around.

That actually happened to me once, fortunately a friend was here and took care of it. A trluy disgusting moment!

That works for the regular ones, need a longer handle for the wolfies, they are super fast and extra creepy.

@MizJ tape a dowel to the handle of a regular flyswatter....use a third piece spanning the 2 for strength. Use good duct tape, wrap tightly.
The extra length will also add momentum, i.e. kill power.

@AnneWimsey The cat should be taking care of them, she likes the lizards and frogs.
