Ewww :yuck: .... I hate snakes! :shock: It's not my house, but in a friend's basement.
The snake was on a floor joist when I arrived. Tried to herd it into a plastic bucket with a short sorting stick but didn't get it anywhere close to the bucket.
The snake moved fast, down to the floor and slithered off behinds some stuff. Looked like a pretty full-sized adult garter snake from what I saw.
Maybe need to revise this plan and use more lethal methods that might be compatible to work in the basement. Sharp spade :?: :idea:
What about hitting the snake with a spray of ether? Would it knock the snake out, or put humans to sleep too? Then there's the explosive fire hazard to consider with the spade on concrete possibly creating sparks...
Never had to deal with this before, so picking smarter brains for :help:
