The installer was All Around Aluminum, I believe they're in Oxford and they advertise in the Sun Newspaper. I just got their phone number from a neighbor, I was the third on my street to use them and a fourth neighbor is using them right now.

Even though these CYV's are all standard 12' doors, they'll come out and measure to get the exact fit. It was about three weeks total from the time I called them to the installation, costs $850. You'll find that many times one subcontractor will come into a neighborhood and through word-of-mouth everybody else ends up using them.

Think you hit the wrong thread here! That being said....the photo with the snake coiled in amongst the batteries....GAH!!!! I hate, hate, hate snakes! I know it's an irrational fear but I've hated them since I can remember! Don't care if it's harmless or not...they're just plain creepy to me (no pun intended).

So what do you guys do with them?
Move them to a new home.
Kill them.
I know a few guys up here that would eat them.

You leave them alone. Unless it is a venomous snake, it is a benefit to have a snake around.

I am one of the few that like snakes.
But I would have someone move the bad ones to a better home.

I have seen a number of snakes on the golf course. I never had a snake in m garage until about six months ago and it got his head caught in that sticky stuff Massey leaves in garages. I believe it came in because the garage door was left open during the night due to an emergency. By the way i have an overhead screen door that I like a lot

I too have an irrational fear of snakes (and most any critter that slitters). I've had this fear since I was very small. I'd probably be hysterical "IF" we found a snake of any kind in our garage....worse "IF" it somehow got into the house! Thing is, there are snakes and critters no matter where one lives---be it in FL or "up north" or "out west". Guess we think about it a little more here.

Mentioned this before, but while living in NM walked out of the house and stepped on a rattler that was snuggled up by the step into the garage. Fortunately I stepped on his neck and broke it or I surely would have been struck. Rattlers serve an important function in the west and we try not to kill them, but avoid them. Probably a good philosphy for TV as well. As creepy as they are they really do serve a purpose!:shrug:

The boss let out a scream just this afternoon as one went slithering along the outside of the lanai screen. WE BOTH HATE SNAKES!! If I find it, it's dead. Can't stand snakes. There's a reason God portrays Satan as one.

Just how common is it to get snakes into your garage, or anywhere else you might be around the house? Does it happen more near water or wildlife areas? Are there areas to live to avoid them?

I believe Florida is the only state in the nation with all four posionous types of snakes. So for those of you who have reptilian visitors, how often are they posionous and do you know any who has been injured or their pets injured.

Thanks. (If you cannot tell, I hate snakes.) And I will personally bite the first person who tells me they are more afraid of me than I am of them.
Shouldn't you be more worried about snakes in Texas????

My in laws have a screen. They back up to the power line right of way. No ponds, no preserves. They have caught two snakes in their garage since January. They both got caught on the sticky pad the exterminator put at each end of the garage door opening.

I don't think I'm afraid of snakes..as long as I know they aren't poisonous. It's the thought of spiders that scares the hell out of me. Please, please don't tell me that I have to accept them..that they are just part of Florida life. I don't mind the little one's but the one's that need a shave can just stay away!!!

I am reminded of the incident with my seven-year-old grandson that happened two years ago:
We were looking for a ball that went into the woods.
He asked if there were snakes in those woods.
He told me he was afraid of snakes.
I asked if he hadn't hear the old saying about snakes being more afraid of us than we were of them.
He asked if there was "a new saying".
Obviously not consoled by my wisdom.
