I Live In NC. I Am Finding Baby Snakes In My Flowerbeds In The Fall When I Rake Leaves. They Are Mostly Copperheads.

Question

They have been in our pool several times. I found two large snake skins at an area as they exited from under our pool house. I’ve purchased marigold seeds. I’ve used snake-away. Please help.

It's best not to have hiding places for them or food sources. You also can try a snake-proof fence. These articles should help:
