Snakes and Scorpions

10 years ago

We are renting a home in Jinotepe that is near a gully and we are killing scorpions right and left in the house. It has been sprayed by the landlord but it hasn't helped. Anyone know what to use to keep them out and kill them. I have a tiny 12 yr old toy poodle that we don't want bite. My husband is vision impaired and has trouble seeing them.

Also, a 6 ft. snake like a boa /anaconda has taken up residence in our back yard. How do we get rid of it. We do not own a gun so can't shoot it. In the States we would have contacted animal control and they would have gotten rid of it. Here I don't know what to do. I tried ask.com and no answers there. I thought of using poisioning in some meat but since they squeeze their victims don't know if they would feed on dead meat. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated because now not only do I have little Sarah to be concerned with but we are getting a German Shepard puppy in about 2 weeks and I don't want the snake making a meal out of it.
