Rhett asked:


I have a barn full of water moccasins and I have heard about mothballs and sulfur tricks but, can you burn sulfur mixed with mothballs in a can and in the barn to smoke them out? or is that to dangerous?

    Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. Buy a mongoose.

    I’m really not an expert, but burning sulfur and mothballs in a barn seems like it will either burn it down or make it smell awful forever

    A regular run of the mill predator will do.
    Buy a cat or start feeding the feral ones around your house.
    Cats tend to hang where the food is.

    And burning anything in a building is generally a bad idea
    Good Luck
