If so what is it and where can I get it? I will be moving to a new house on a little over a half acre lot that borders the woods in a secluded subdivision (a sugar cane field is on the other side of the woods). I have been warned by the neighbors to be aware of cottonmouth snakes that sometimes get into the yards in the area. I have a three year old boy who, for reasons beyond my comprehension, is unafraid of snakes. I will be doing everything I can think of to keep the snakes away while at the same time try to teach my boy that he can't go near snakes (at least until he's old enough to know which ones are which). I have heard things like put a lime barrier down along the fence line, but I'm unsure if that works or is just a wives tale. Of course I will keep the grass cut low and avoid creating areas to make them feel at home, but I need all the info I can get.
