Reptile Repellent

[marvelfreak]

I was watching a TV show called "Billy the Extermiator" he sprayed what he call reptile repellent. Said it made from a Garlic base.................... (wait for it), "because reptile don't like garlic and if sprayed once a month around your yard it'll keep snakes away." :confused: The people had a rattle snake problem so after catching a 6 foot rattler he spays this stuff all over their yard and tell them this will keep snakes away and he'll be back in a month to spray again. Has anyone ever heard of this?

Plus did you know snakes have really good hearing :eek: and kids playing and make a lot of noise can attract snakes. He might catch a lot of snake on the show, but i think he needs to do a little reading and get his facts straight.

[gonesnakee]

I can't stand the look of the idiot myself & can barely tolerate him for more than a minute or 2.
When it comes to facts he's pretty much totally useless unless of course you are looking for the wrong answers that is.
I can't wait until the show is cancelled as all the guy does is spread inaccurate BS, & is a useless POS IMHO Mark

[Freebody]

ya thats show is BS, notice how everything in the world carries disentary LOL i hear him say that every few minutes lol

[red ink]

I have a rock that keeps tigers away at my house. Have'nt seen on at all the whole time I've been there so it must be working lol.

I have here a special rock I will ship you if you want. Guaranteed that if you club those unwanted family members over the head with it, they will stop showing up:eek:

Billy may be an annoying punk rocker wannabe, but I admire his respect for life... Most exterminators I have ever heard of slaughter snakes rather than relocate them, So I do tip my hat to that facet of the show. (My kids like the guy, so I get stuck watching it often enough.)

[kenchenzo]

i just watched a bit online what a load of bs.
talk about over the top.

[shaunyboy]

i have to admit if i watch a snake show with so called experts i end up shouting at the tv.so for my blood pressure and familys sakes i tend not to watch them anymore.

i still watch a bit of austin stevens now and again though.

if for nothing else other than seeing him do things like wrestle a 14 ft scrubby up in the tree canopy trying to take its picture.

the guys got guts if nothing else imo

cheers shaun

Guy likely has some good to him, but its overshadowed by all the BS & hype the TV folks get off on.
He's just one of those guys I can love to hate anyhow LOL Mark

Sweet! I'll PM you my address. lol


10693 I never seen him kill anything but some bugs. When it comes to animals he always relocate.

[DeesBalls]

You guys have to remember, tv shows I think add some bs for the entertainment value. Not saying the show is pointless and idiotic...

Only snake show I watch is snake wranglers... and use to watch python hunters but it don't seem to be on any more...

As for the show in question. The one episode I seen was horrible... enough said.

One episode they killed some Nutria (Myocastor coypus), then made sure to send the carcasses to the zoo for gator food.

That cool, but what is a Nutria?

[infernalis]

Invasive species, water rodents (Giant 3 foot rats)

[gonesnakee]

All of them are still rodents, many folks fail to realize that about Beavers. Mark

[Freebody]

to be honest i didnt know that beavers are rodents, cool.

[infernalis]

Just tossing this out there since we are on the subject of rodents.

Trivia - Bats are not rodents.

Bats are mammals of the taxonomic order Chiroptera

[Reptile_Reptile]

Ever heard a bat called "flying rodent"? it just popped in my head, I never knew a beaver was a rodent until just now, and I live in Beaver Dams, NY:eek::rolleyes:

[Reptile_Reptile]

ah that came to mind but i wasnt sure if it was a not a rodent dont feed to your snake kinda deal but i was like why would someone feed a bat to a snake

[infernalis]

Nah dude, I love animal knowledge. I can study critters all day long.

My lizard would suck down a dozen bats no problem.

over here its pigeons that get called flying rodents

wood pigeons are a type of bird that are legally classed as rodents re killing them.its perfectly legal to kill rodents over here as they are seen as pests.

not beavers though im pretty sure they are protected by law.

so im taking it beaver dam has a more than its fair share of beavers mate ?

cheers shaun

I have seen footage of a snake eating a bat before.
if I recall correctly it was a Childrens or a Spotted Python hanging outside the cave as they were exiting it, Mark

[dragunov.762]

RTB eat bats. they hang from branches by the mouth of a cave and snatch them out of the air. can't remember where i saw that, Life or Planet Earth maybe. maybe it was just a special, i can't remember.

[gonesnakee]

I'm sure there are lots of species that would prey on them in the wild.
Heck the entrance to a Batcave would be a perfect spot to hang out afterall, Mark

Childrens are quite notorious here for eating bats, if you ever want to see a childrens in the wild, a cave system in their home range would be the best place to start. Spotteds do it as well but they are more of a rodent and reptile feeeder.

Scrubbies, olives and large diamonds are often fed on a diet of rabbits down here four or five times a year.
