Apparently Channel Seven Sydney is doing a news story Monday night on a snake plague or something similar
I've got 2 barking owls pulling night shift at my place. So cool to watch.If there is a snake plague...isn't the cause of it more interesting?
As there'd have to be a rodent plague or similar to sustain them...much more problematic.
I wish I had a snake or 6 in my yard to eat the mice.
Seem to have a single owl who isn't pulling his weight lol.
I wish the tawny frogmouths at our place would pay attention to the growing family of rats that hang out under our solar cells and race each other along our gutters at full noise at 11pm each night.I wish I had a snake or 6 in my yard to eat the mice.

up here ive seen 5 elapids in just 3 daysThere would certainly seem to be an increase in snake activity at the moment though plague is probably a little dramatic.
We get the odd Brown in the place I work but have certainly had more this summer with 3 spotted in the past week.

Well from that standpoint, yeah, but for me who just wants to see some wild snakes...Not really. There isn't enough of them to keep the rats and mice down and the non snake people at work are terrified. They are being educated slowly but we have at least one or 2 "hero's" every year who decide they need to protect the workforce. I must say though that attitudes are changing and for the greater part I don't hear too many mentions of the shovel.

Did exactly this many times 20 odd years ago whilst living in the upper Macleay Valley in NSW. Was the quickest and most effective way to evict possums and rats from the roof. ,)If we had decent laws you could pick up a few local carpet pythons and let them into your roof or some other place to control them. It used to be legal in some states.
