I just walk out the doors here and I can see anything from a Black Snake to a Diamondback Rattler in my yard. Plenty of cotton mouths and moccasins here as well as coral snakes. My little cat likes to pester them and once drummed up a 6' + Diamondback in our front yard. He was as big as my wrist in circumference and was in full rattle. I got between them and took the cat inside. These are our rodent control here.
