In the 2-1/2 years that we lived here, on the water, the only snake I ever saw was in the Lake Sumter Landing parking lot. We have lots of hawks, owls, herons, alligators, etc. and I guess they take care of the snakes mother natures way. I have also never seen a rat or mouse since living here. We used to have outdoor cats walk along the water's edge, they were usually gone within a couple weeks, same with rabbits, here today and gone tomorrow. Two things I'm glad we don't have besides the snakes are Canada Geese, they make a huge mess and never leave, and chipmunks, fought those little creatures for years and never won a battle.
