Two years ago I had some non venimous snakes in the bushes around my house. Used Snake B Gon every month during summer and didn't see any more snakes when doing lawn work.
Moved to new house surrounded by a TVA forrest area last month and found a 24 inch grey rat snake in my garage. Ordered Snake B Gon and applied it around the house. The next morning found a large Copperhead about 20-30 feet away from the area around my house where I had treated, laying in the grass. This is unusual for a Copperhead to be laying out exposed like that. Got a shovel to kill him and missed. He quickly retreated towards the house through the Snake B Gon treated area and disappeared down a hole next to the house foundation. Opened a new can of Snake B Gon, threw it down the hole and waited. A few minutes later he comes back out. Snake B Gon for sure now.
I think that the original application of Snake B Gon the previous evening had kept him out of his hole which is how I found him. He didn't seem to like me throwing it down the hole at him. I will continue using this once a month around the house.
