Last year I installed our home security alarm and when running the wire for one of the keypads I noticed a snake skin in our attic. To say the least it freaked me out a little bit because for one our house is almost sealed shut, and for two it was about 2' from where I was reaching my arms. I have no idea how it could have gotten in there unless a bird dropped it onto our garage or breezeway and it somehow climbed in under the R-panel somehow?
How does one ensure if they are in the attic they don't stay long if you get my drift. We don't have mice in our home or attic, let alone roaches or anything else. We have never had either in our home so there should be nothing to feed on.
Also, we've killed 3 small cottonmouth's within the past month. We've been watering trees and our yard so I'm sure they're coming to water. We are in a serious drought so they are definitely looking for water. Just last night I heard my wife screaming outside so I ran out and our 3 year old son was riding his bike about 2' from one that was coiled up under our travel trailer parked on our driveway. I guess it was cool on the concrete and in the shade.
My wife put 2-3 boxes of moth balls around the back privacy fence, but it looks like we may have to put more around the house. I just don't want to trap them inside close to the house
