I'm sure the snakes got out the same way they came in. "...an estimated $1 million in damage had been done." And how much would an exterminator have cost him? What an idiot. _________________________________________________________________________ “A man’s treatment of a dog is no indication of the man’s nature, but his treatment of a cat is.

Rolled up on a local house fire about 20 years ago. It was a horder house. Homeowner yells to us as we are doing our 360 walkaround (prior to going in), that he was trying to kill the snakes living there and accidentally set the house on fire. It quickly became a defensive fire as the horder conditions prevented us from actually maneuvering a hand line (fire hose) inside. Sometimes, you gotta roll the hard six | |||

Sounds like something my Aunt would do…she had my Uncle kill every snake (all non venomous) he could find around her chicken coops…next was a serious rodent infestation…wash-rinse-repeat…I can never understand the freak out over harmless useful creatures (non venomous spiders included)…but that’s just me  ******************************************************** "we've gotta roll with the punches, learn to play all of our hunches Making the best of what ever comes our way Forget that blind ambition and learn to trust your intuition Plowing straight ahead come what may And theres a cowboy in the jungle" Jimmy Buffet | |||

No, that's me, too. I don't like snakes being close to me, but whenever I find one in the yard I just grab a stick or something and guide them into the woods out back. "If Gun Control worked, Chicago would look like Mayberry, not Thunderdome" - Cam Edwards | |||

Short of one being in my sleeping bag, I leave snakes alone. Looks like a total loss. Demand not that events should happen as you wish; but wish them to happen as they do happen, and you will go on well. -Epictetus | |||

I thought all spiders were venomous to some degree. Most just lack a delivery method. Even daddy longlegs. Unhappy ammo seeker | |||

Yep…you are 100% right on that…I’ve been on the receiving end on bites from orb weavers when I run into their webs while hunting…just an aggravation and an itchy blister…I put Brown Recluse and Black Widows in the dangerous class…all orb weavers, crab spiders, jumpers and the like are pretty much harmless to humans sooooo don’t kill them (with fire or without)…that’s just me and my take on the spider thing  …just remember that we fear what we don’t understand ******************************************************** "we've gotta roll with the punches, learn to play all of our hunches Making the best of what ever comes our way Forget that blind ambition and learn to trust your intuition Plowing straight ahead come what may And theres a cowboy in the jungle" Jimmy Buffet | |||

Had he been a ‘gun guy’, snake shot out of the revolver, a 410 at the most, would do. I’m medium on snakes, harmless I leave alone. If it’s poisonous, I wouldn’t want them around, dogs if nothing else. Of course basically none in WI, of anything harmful. | |||

Wait, what? |
If snakes are taking up residence in the darker recesses of your home, there’s a very good, beneficial reason. Same with spiders. They are the best vermin control you can get. And it’s not like they’re hanging out on the couch watching the flat screen. The obvious exceptions would be Black Widows or Brown Recluse. I have yet to detect either at my house. “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||

Even with the house not burning down there would have been smoke damage. Folks they walk among us, and we can’t fix it! ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||
