ANOTHER SOLUTION TO THE MOUSE PROBLEM!!

[Cupajo]

A customer of mine in Lyme, Connecticut, about fifteen miles north of here, lived in an old farm house, from the eighteen hundreds, that had a stacked field stone foundation. He mentioned that he never had a mouse problem, because of the snakes that lived in his basement. The snakes moved in for the winter and some stayed year round. They were black snakes, a species that are not poisonous or aggressive (except to small furry creatures) and maybe that

I have no problem with snakes myself

While working on a lake shore house one day, I happened to glance out of the cellar window near where I as working on a water system. I saw a black snake about 5 or 6 feet long crawl up to the foundation outside a crawl space (Appropriate?) and slowly inch its way up the wall until most of its length was pressed against the wall It then made its way through a small opening into the crawl space beyond. Since the critter headed directly to the one spot on the wall where it could get into the mouse infested crawl space, I reasoned that it must have been there before and satisfied its hunger too. Otherwise, why would it return as it had so obviously done!! I later in the following year had occasion to work in that crawl space and very carefully searched for any sign of the critter and could find nothing!
