Aussie Whip 3,827 Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Just moved to a small farm in western NSW.The place is infested with eastern brown snakes(worlds second most deadly).Came out the other morning to my 2 Russells in a fight to the death with a 5ft example.Luckily they finished it without getting bitten.Started puting plastic bird netting around the sheds and house and have caught 2 brown snakes and a black snake already.Really good for catching snakes,wondering if it would be any good for other unwanted critters apart from birds. 1 Quote Link to post

Didn't take any but will next time.You get rid of the dead ones quick,they stink like nothing else.The locals reckon the snakes have lived here a long time as the place was vacant for years and me and the dogs disturbed them.
