That’s my formula for fixing this particular problem.

“It’s really hard to rest assured at night to not think you’ve got a snake in your bed with you or going to step on one when you get up,”

No kidding?  Excuse me while I have an all over body shiver.

Yeah, garter snakes are harmless, and I’m sure this house doesn’t have a mouse problem. 

But I wouldn’t touch this property until the house had been gassed, burned to the ground, checked for an old Indian burial ground, and rebuilt.

Snakes, why did it have to be snakes?
