Question

Please how do i eradicate snakes,they are killing my pigs and goats on my farm?

Answer 1

I'm gonna have to assume you mean poisonous snakes.. and that your not in the US?  

If you have that many that live stock death is a issue.. then your land must be ripe feeding or breeding land for them.  remove all cover for them to hide in.  Try and discourge rodents ( prime snake food).. contact your local gov and see what they say about it

Answer 2

Do you have andacondas and retics on your property? If it is a poisonous snake call an animal control and they will relocate the snakes. You can also do what I do with the poisonous snakes on my property. Get a shotgun and have some fun. I keep petsnakes but nothing vemomous. I would have them moved but the 5 year old neighborhood kids almost get bitten dailey so i have to do it

Answer 3

What the he.....ck?! You got an infestation of like huge boids or what?! That must suck, giant snakes killing your livestock..

No, i assume you mean poisonous snakes? Get in touch with the authorities, they should be able to help

Answer 4

what the h*ll kind of snakes do you have on your farm? anacondas??? pigs and goats are pretty big animals so that sucker must be big...well its gotta be more than one b/c usually if a snake eats that big of a meal its good for a while

Answer 5

Try moth balls. They used to make poison granules you could put down to eradicate them but I haven't seen any in years. Flea and tick poison will deter them. Moth balls act as a deterrent.

The only other way I know of is to burn off your pasture when the grass gets dray enough.

Answer 6

Call animal control.  Eradicating them yourself is probably illegal.

And what snakes in the US kill livestock?

Answer 7

This is a big issue.  However there is only one answer.  Since I do not know where you live it is hard to be accurate, but you must first contact a local agency that specializes in conservation.  For all you know this snake could be a protected specie.  If it is not, then you still need a specialist.  Because you obviously have more than one snake.  It sounds like you have a whole nest, or colony.    You could try any old trick that people, could offer, but it sounds like you have a lot of snakes.  Your sure bet to protect you livestock and investment in them is to contact a local animal control, or conservationist.

Answer 8

Get somebody in to catch them and take them away, don't try and poison them it probably won't work
