Get a snake and turn it loose in your houes to get rid of mice and rats.

My husbands snake got loose in june, and I was cleaning out the cabont where I keep my pans that I don't use very often last week- found said snake- and found out my heart IS working! There was a huge pile of poop and shed skins. But I didn't have any mice or rats this fall!

when shopping big sales, if shelf empty, start eyeing other people's cart and just take the sale items...they don't need them more than your pantry!

I think I'd be looking for the gun.....and the man that had the snake for a pet.

Letting it go inside the house?

We still need that emoticon that is running away in terror.

Actually I'm not the one around here that's afraid of snakes. If DH thought there was one in the house...well...he'd get tired of sleeping on top of the doors before we found it. :lol:

Well we're not afraid of snake though :hu I'd be more afraid of stepping on it and hurting it than anything. My dog is scared of them. The chickens eat them. I don't know who'd be worse off :lol:

when parking at a big store, park far away, close to another car way out in the lot and don't forget to bring the gas can and siphoning hose
