Very nice outfit - quite colorfulThis is me moving in the morning.
One of these was outside our back door on our back porch a few days ago. I'm still a bit afraid to open the back door lol (this is a photo from online)
Note to Moderator do not look behind the spoiler!
Well, you won't catch hantavirus from that snake. In fact, with that snake around, you have a lesser chance of catching hantavirus, period.
I had to google hantavirus. It's more alarming than the snakes
We caught 15 mice in the house this summer before we figured out how they were coming in. Y'know how on a slab foundation there are open gaps between some bricks on the bottom row to let moisture escape? The mice were just walking right in. We had to insert pieces of stainless steel mesh in the gaps. Actually some of the mice may have been mice we'd already caught once. We were releasing them by a tree about 1,000 feet from the house and 1,000 feet probably wasn't far enough.I've been trying to identify our snakes so we don't kill the ones that eat mice and frogs. We also have large black water snakes that look like cottonmouths except they're longer and a bit thinner. But when the guys are working in the field and a large snake slithers quickly toward them, I don't blaim them for not taking the time to identify them before they kill them

Have you ever thought of maybe getting a cat? One that stays in the house all the time? Our cat loves catching any unfortunate mice who might try to get inI had to google hantavirus. It's more alarming than the snakes

I'm too fiercely allergic to cats to get one
which might be a good thing - I love cats and I'd probably go broke feeding every stray cat I found. Mouse (our dog named Mouse) has caught a couple mice. I could not figure out why Mouse was so interested in the door to the attic until we found a couple mice on the stairway. I think the mice climbed inside the outside walls to the attic and then came down the stairway to get inside.There are some dogs that take care of mice too. Terriers come to mind. And our Lab-ish puppy/dog was at my brother-in-law's farm in Illinois and caught a mouse in the field and chomped it down. Grandma still hasn't quite forgiven him for that.
House full of rescue cats- and the Akita was the mouser!!
