We have copperheads here in Georgia. Snake be Gone works and so does the mower.
We have copperheads, water moccasins and corals.
We use Snake b Gone, also.
Hardly see any, anymore....thank God!!
I had an 18-inch copperhead in my garage shop, in between the cardboard boxes on the floor underneath the bench. No easy way to get at it. Finally got a pellet pistol and started shooting. Finally got a hit on his head. He was rattling his tail on the cardboard box so he kind of sounded like a rattler. I’ve been told that the young ones are particularly dangerous. Two fatal cases here in Missouri involved fairly small snakes.
