Or invoke St. Patrick. Or release a bunch of mongoose (mongoose's? mongeese?). Maybe a snake charmer. Yeah, that's it; a snake charmer.

SWITZERLAND’S World Cup stars are on red alert after being warned of SNAKES next to their training camp.
The Swiss have jetted out to San Diego to prepare for their World Cup opener against Qatar on June 13.
The team are already dealing with humid temperatures in the US as they get used to their new surroundings.
But the squad have another alarming problem to deal with after a ‘snake area’ was marked up on the map of their training camp.
The official Switzerland team account posted a picture of their facility with labels of its different sections.
They showed off the goalkeeping area at the back of the pitch, with the gym area covered by a tent.
There was also the dressing area that was pinpointed just behind the gym section.
But the Swiss account left some fans stunned after labelling a huge ‘snake area’ surrounding the training pitch.
The troublesome area was marked up in dark red stripes as the caption read: “Watch out for the snakes.”
According to the San Diego Natural History Museum, there are four species of venomous rattlesnakes in the region.
The most common type of snake in the city is a venomous rattlesnake called Crotalus helleri.
Switzerland aren’t the only nation on the lookout for snakes at their World Cup camp.
Norway have also been asked to be wary of dangerous reptiles after checking into their camp at Grandover Resort & Spa in Greensboro, North Carolina.
Erling Haaland and Co were urged not to “provoke” any of the snakes, which are “very common” in Greensboro.

Venemous snakes! Added extras on your American visit!
Easy solution. Bring in a group of Pentacostals to drive the snakes out.
Or invoke St. Patrick. Or release a bunch of mongoose (mongoose's? mongeese?). Maybe a snake charmer. Yeah, that's it; a snake charmer.
We’re running out of room. Sumpthins gonna give.
“The troublesome area was marked up in dark red stripes as the caption read: “Watch out for the snakes.” Snakes don’t like Swiss soccer players I guess.
It seems Switzerland has snakes also, even poisonous, I didn’t know that until today.
If there are Swiss bankers there, the snakes won’t attack them....Professional Courtesy.
Snakes don’t like Swiss soccer players I guess.
Most of the “Swiss” players are Albanians.
Sounds like a job for HHS secretary RFK Jr.
They’re neutral snakes
They are surrounded by Democrats...
High snakes means fewer rodents. They should be safe from Hanta virus.
By snakes do they mean leftards?
