Thread: Best way to flush out snakes.

We're starting to clear land tomorrow on the farm for a new home.

We have this mini home on there at present,that over the years has collected shit loads of stuff in there.

Don't really fancy just going in and clearing,as I've been told there are many snakes in there.

Any ideas how to flush them out.?

I was just going to burn it down but the timber still looks pretty good

What we'd do is get a thai style rat trap and put three or four chicks in it. They'd cheep and cheep all night and the snakes would come out, go after the chicks and get caught in the trap.

There's nothing like a cheep to get a snake to come out in my experience.

dogs. my two jack russels would clear em out in an hour.

or you can smoke 'em out.

What if there's a asp among the snakes? Your dogs could get hurt...

Too confident, as your beloved [and much ballyhooed] Jack Russels would be dead in an hour....


Couple of these would do the trick tout suite.

I can't do that to the chicks.

They've taken on all comers for the last 3-4 years and won every bout. That includes some nasty cobras.
They're good.

Smoke bombs are good if you can get hold of them.

Don't worry, I'm sure you've fucked the chicks over before.

This time it's actually chicks..baby chickens. The trap will keep them safe as long as their little hearts can stand the pressure of the snakes on their doorstep.

Or just burn the place to the ground. The snakes will go out of the building and go out into the fields, then as soon as it gets cold, they'll return to a nice warm house.

Its pretty pathetic of me really,as the idea of living on the farm is to rear and kill all our own livestock,so really i shouldn't give a shit.

Perhaps I'll just get my wifes nephew to get in can't burn it down really as its we're we have many Euca.

I've never fucked a chick over before.

By far the best course of action.
I rarely do anything half as well as a small bloke with a machete for 100 baht.
Hence, I do nothing.

You forgot the alibi...a small bloke, with a machete for a 100 baht with the perfect alibi...

LOL green owed.

Jeez Jeff you sure that ain't Smug Farang Bore.?

he smokes LM i smoke Krong thip.

Clear it out slowly and have a machete and Y shaped stick to hand.

I wear thick leather welding gloves when in danger of getting bitten, so far nothing has got through them before the machete does its job.

Its more likely the Machete would go through the wifes head.as she will be constantly behind me with her silly instructions.

Send the MIL & FIL and a couple of the neighbourhood bums
I don't do a fuckin tap when I'm home
THEY WORK FOR BUTTONS
I despair

After she sees the first snake, I'm guessing the instructions will come from afar.

Why not make money? Invite the local wasteabouts over to clean the place out at a price then have the neighbors over to place odds on which one will be bitten first. Provide a bit of food and grog and make it a spectator sport..along with gambling about who will get bitten first.

No you'd be surprised,she's pretty tough little cookie,in fact you just gave mean idea she can go in.

I'm sure it may be good though I'm sure no work would get done. the board would be out and all the locals over to gamble away what they ain't got to spare.
