We saw a brown snake today just by the low stone 'drystone' wall around our garden. When it saw us it slithered into a hole in the wall. Saw it again a couple of hours later in the same place. About a metre long.
It is not a good place for us because it is just outside our front entrance, so it is not going to make visitors feel welcome. Fantastic place for a snake though because there is a little pond with lots of frogs built into the wall. So even if we get rid of this one another will come along sooner or later.
My wife has ordered a solar powered thing which emits vibration which is supposed to scare them away. Don't know how effective that will be. I wondered about squirting that expanding foam stuff into all the gaps in the wall - I don't want to use cement or anything that would be visible or look bad.
Wondered if anybody else had any ideas. I don't have a dog or a gun.
