Hi All

We have had a few problems with Vipers Visiting our house , the last one about 6 feet long last night .

We have been told today to have an Electric Fence Put around the area , I would assume about a Foot
High and low voltage , but not really sure

Can anyone PM with the Name of a person or company who can provide and install the same

Many Thanks

Les

The cheaper option is to get a cat or two, we never had snake or rat problems when we adopted 2 lovely cats.

Hi

Thanks for the Cats option , but we have two problems .

1 : We have a number of Dogs , thus an issue

2 : I have a bad Allergy towards Cats

This the Electric Fence

If you want to avoid the expense of using electricity, you could ask companies who sell agricultural products or ....

We got some powder "Snake Off" from the Home Centre behind Debenhams in Paphos .... It seemed to do the trick.

Beverley,you say get a cat or two.Sorry but this would not work.The feral cats on this island are so well fed by well meaning ex pats that the little felines have lost their predatory instincts.
Why should they hunt when their food is laid out for them like a five star restaurant.
Hence the rise in the snake population,rat population and the rest.
Oh and it is well known that the feral cat human waiters always feed the little darlings well away from their own properties...good luck :roll:
