Sulfer or moth balls.

A snake in the house will leave eventually if it does not have a food source. They only eat people in the movies. They are mainly looking for mice but sometimes they wander into places they shouldn't. Sulfer (you can buy it in the garden center at Walmart) sprinkled around the perimeter of the house works (outside). Snakes hate it and will avoid it. Moth balls work but not if you have kids...they think it looks like candy. Sulfer will last a long time even if it rains. You can go to a farm supply place and buy "snake repellent" (and pay $20) but if you read the ingredients it is just sulfer. Country lore says a snake won't cross the sulfer line. Works for me.

Help with moth worms in the house
Does anyone have a remedy for these disgusting little worms? I was told they are moth worms. They are about 0.25 to 0.50 inches and gray in color with a black head. I'm finding them in my dining room and by the garbage. We had a moth in the house recently and think it may have laid eggs. Is there something I can use to kill them off? I can't find where exactly they're coming from, so should I spray the whole room? Any help would be appreciated.

If you don't have the balls to get rid of a man
there's nothing anyone on here can do for you. Get some counseling.

Balls instead of chairs - Hahaha
Just thought I'd pass this along in case anyone is tired of sitting in the same old chair everyday while they work. I've seen this "tip" before but never bothered to try it until recently.
I purchased one of those large inflatable exercise balls and use it instead of a chair. It's a very refreshing change. I did have to learn to balance a bit because in a chair you can move around, even when you're not aware of it, and the chair is stable but the ball isn't. It also helps me keep better posture, is easier on the low back/sacrum, and I think it is helping my abdomen because you are working your abdominals and legs while sitting there.
Anyway, it was worth a try for me. I may not use it all the time but it is a great change.

It's so eloquently spoken and TRUE. They chose US, we did not choose THEM.
My grandfather came to this country LEGALLY. He learned English BEFORE he came. He had a sponsor to vouch for him, and a job waiting when he arrived. He wanted so much to be 'American' that he changed his name. He became a citizen as soon as he could. If I wanted to move to another country, I would want to feel ACCEPTED, and one of the best ways to do that is to assimilate oneself into that country's culture, I would learn the language, and woulnd not go bashing that new country's beliefs.
Great balls of fire! sm
The most I EVER got was maybe 250 lph, and that was including headers, etc., and a word Expander like PC Shorthand. Course I was always a sluggish typist, never the fastest by any means! Just couldn't do that....I depended on my experience and my word expander.
