Snakes in the yard

My parents get rattlesnakes in their yard occasionally. Last summer, there was a 4 footer in a pine tree. That one got everyone’s attention.
 
Appreciate the replies everyone. Looks like from this thread and everything else I’ve read I’m probably stuck with the situation. I’m just trying to avoid getting popped or my cat lol. Vet said they’ve treated way more dogs than cats so maybe she’s quick enough to avoid them.
 
Sir, you may not have snakes, but yall still have some ticks. Nothing like the lower 48.


I tap on the article you posted and all I get is a “Sorry, no longer available”. I’m guessing it’s fake news. I’m telling you we don’t have ticks. I’ve never pulled a tick off of my dogs, or anything I’ve killed in the last 33 years.

We killed a baby rattler this year that the kids found in the backyard and now my wife is fulltilt. Weve put down snakeaway but I have no idea the effectiveness. I think were getting a cat now too. Im also now making sure all the toys are put away that could be hidey spots .

Copperheads have perfect camo in mulched gardens or flower beds. They are the only snake that doesn't get a pass around my house

Has anyone priced anti-venom?
Hunting buddy got nailed on the ankle by a copperhead while turning off a garden hose. Leg turned black and blue up to his hip.
About 10k if I remember correctly.
