I need help getting rid of these gray with one yellow striped snakes that appear in mid to late summer. I live in SW Colorado. I know they are harmless but they scare me to almost death. I just want them to go somewhere else. Pls help.

  • I just installed "snake fencing." We are having a banner rattlesnake year. Depending upon the size of your property or yard, might be something for you to look into. For me it was keeping my pets safe. Google it and see if it is something to consider. I also am installing "coyote rollers."

    You can also try sprinkling mothballs around your yard- it deters them

    Just beware that if you get rid of the snakes you will have more rodents. Like you, snakes give me the heebeegeebees!
