snake poo

[raffles]

Shannon Lush's book Spotless recommends scattering snake poo into your roof to ward off mice. Do any experts have an opinion on the effectiveness of this technique?I'd love to know what you think. We are in the midst of a mouse plague and I don't wish to use poisons which might affect local wildlife. Obviously the local snake population are hibernating while we fight off the mice.

I keep my snake in an aviary that used to house birds and even though its been thoroughly cleaned of seed I have seen mice on several occasions scratching around in the mulch on the bottom looking for seeds with a snake sitting less than 3 feet away. I don't think the poo will work.

Yeah mice eat snake poo like you eat a cheeseburger.
Get some traps.

I wouldnt bother with suggestions from that book. I tried several of the suggestions several times and it either made the problem worse or did nothing at all.
