Let me know if it works.

I have trapped 25 water snakes. Lost over 200 fish last year. I know how many since I bought 250 to replace fish.. my pond had gotten low in fish for unknown reasons, now I know why.

Still trapping but at a slower rate.

I removed the forest of hornwort, the snakes hung out in it and snacked on the fish.
So far so good. I havent seen the snake in the pond for about a week, but I also just drained and cleaned it out. So it was empty for about 5 days. Still not sure what kind of snake it was some say garter and some say moccasin.
I will let you know if I see him again though

I have read that they don't like the smell of ammonia. I also put some moth balls out around my house ( ppl say they work) but my pond is higher than ground lvl so no chance of run off. They don't like the smell of vinegar, lemon oil, and a few others I forgot.

Ammonia eh? Cheap peeing around the pond might just do it..............well if it works why not? Just don't kill your plants!

I have a lead foot at times according to my daughter lol
Ha! Love it. My Larger Half says he gets a cramp in his leg from pressing an imaginary break pedal when I drive (and I always drive, as I'm the worst passenger on the face of the planet).

And I definitely identify with the bit about needing four hands! But your pond looks great, so your two hands are doing some pretty good work!

Ha! Can't wait to see what she comes up with!
I'm actually scared last time I dared her she pulled a rabbit out of her bag of tricks and I pulled a stomach muscle laughing so hard.

@j.w IM SURE ADDY IS EVEN PAITENTLY WAITING TO SEE WHAT YOU COME UP WITH.
You shall have to settle for 3 women = 6 boobs w/o legs on a ship sailing the seas and who knows if they are givers for money. I know this is not what you expected but that's the way it goes :joyful:

Ha! Now that's creative! And @GBBUDD didn't specify "only three boobs" so we can assume that three means three and above.
