If they aren't poisonous, they don't really bother me. I used to play with them when I was a kid. I used to go to friends house on the weekends out in the country, and occasionally we would run into a rattler but we knew well enough to leave them alone, which is exactly what we did.

I am terrifed of snakes also.....however, in Minnesota we have a natural way of dealing with them. It is called "winter!" Nearly guaranteed to kill anything that is not bundled up or in a warm place.

At any rate, my cat would so enjoy it if a snake came into our little world....."Oh look! A new toy!"

I like reading what these things have in them. There's a gopher/mole repellent that has something like 0.05% dried blood and garlic oil in it. I'm sure there are lots of old farmers out there that know just what to use... that they already had on hand!

I would suggest a little plastic snake in that gin and tonic.
