Get a tarp or roll plastic & tarp over the area. Lay some posts or dirt to cover the edges of the tarp. Borrow a bottle of CO2 from a welder buddy, or beverage supply, home brew guy, or get a decent size CO2 extinguisher. Feed the C02 under the tarp. The next day go get your nice collection of snake skins. They take all of two minutes to skin out. Impress your family & friends with gifts of rattlesnake wallets, hatbands, belts etc. ETA. Don't fuck with gasoline, really just don't unless you have a death wish. View Quote |

Reading some of the ingenious responses here reminded me of the IQ map thread that was posted a few days ago. An "interesting" coincidence??

I think you only have to kill the head rattlesnake and all the rest will revert back to normal.

Car exhaust or CO2 on a coll/cold morning and cover the escape(s); no sense burning your place down. I absolutely would not tell anyone or record it, especially in California.

Call someone who deals with snakes for a living. That way if they get bit it's their problem not yours.

Would tannerite be legal? Set off with a sufficiently energetic firework? (M80 with long cannon fuse)
If so, would the charge still be legal if you wrapped it in a layer of duct tape and BBs? Improvised anti-snake claymore? I think diesel exhaust and plenty of it is probably the overall safest and quietest way and arguably the one least likely to have legal implications. |

First, get the smallest RC car you can find and do a survey.
Mainly for me. I'm curious how many you have and it'd be cool to watch. |

Propane and remote ignition source.
Dry ice under a tarp if you refuse to live dangerously. Expanding foam to make their tomb permanent. |
|
Install bullsnakes.
Seriously though... Neighbor got one by leaving a heat lamp out next to the hole during the night. Snek cane out to warm up and got whacked. |

Op
See if you can find a snake rustler in the area. They will catch them vs kill them. I helped catch snakes for a roundup when in he. Dump has in the hole. They will run out. Use a piece of off with wire to pick them up. Snake roundups pay a lot for them Else fire. |

No. 8 target loads, as open choke as you have. Multiple shooters. Something warm at the opening of the den. Death at dawn.

You and a few friends dual wielding Taurus Judge's with medium shot
Gasoline is for pussies, give them a shootout |

Or leave them alone and train your dogs to avoid snakes. View Quote If it’s a decent size den those sobs will be everywhere. Be an adventure walking anywhere outside at night. Friend of mine had 1 in his foyer. Yes inside the house. I know numerous people who have had them on their porches. |

Dibs on JoseCuervo's guns after he dies a painful death from a being bitten by an entire den of rattlesnakes.
F a bunch of rattlers. Another reason to move outta Cali. |

I would throw in a few road flares and set up a team with some snake shot. I don't know if I would recommend beers, but I would understand.
Invest in some rattlesnake training for your dog. After the training, they won't need to hear them, they will stay away from the smell and alert you as well. |

@JoseCuervo, there is a rattlesnake vaccine that is a LOT cheaper than the antivenin. In my area, the initial treatment is two shots two weeks apart, and it's around $50. The annual booster is $25.
Also, snake train your dogs. Not only will they not get bit, they will alert you if one is near. And yes, kill them with fire. |

3 pages and no mention of getting a mongoose (or maybe a honey badger)?

View Quote The good shit is Napalm-B. I know it’s 50% polystrene, 25% low-octane gasoline, and 25% benzene. Anyone know if those proportions are by weight or volume? |

There are few problems that cannot be solved with proper use of high explosives.

This might work. |

It used to take a fishing license to exterminate reptiles/snakes in California. I don't know if it still does.

We have had this problem before, see below for a method that works for us.
Put a small amount of gas in the bottom of a pump jug then pump to pressurize the fumes. Put a piece of conduit down the hole so your fumes make it deeper. Flip the pump jug upside down and put the nozzle down to conduit and squeeze the trigger. The pump jug upside down will release the fumes in the hole but not the liquid gas. This will make them sick and want to get up for air, if you actually put the gas down they might stay down. It may take 5-10 minutes for them to start coming out but they will be lethargic. We use snake grabbers the pull them out as the head appears and cap them with a shovel. BE AWARE. The one exit point you know of is most likely not the only one, keep your head on a swivel. We are usually surprised by how many come out so be patient and wait it out. Best of luck. |

I’d drink a bunch of cyanide, then jump in the hole. Every time they bite you they will get cyanide exposure. Kill them systemically, just like a weed.

I'd go with the CO2 or N2 method, cheap enough and very discrete.

Lots of gasoline. Then some more. Then even more.
Trail of gas a hundred feet away. Light the end of the trail and run. Watch the show. |
