Here is my two cents- How did the snake get in her house. Solve that and you earned your money. I shy away from hocus pocus since it can really make us look like an aZZ if snakes came back in the time you promised. Change and remove their habitat, and eliminate their food supply. Deny every hole and hiding place on the property. I often find snakes harboring in underground utility boxes and in some sprinkler systems here. Recommend good home maintenance on a regular basis. In the long I want her respect and all of her friends and families future business. But after all that sure I will go to Home Depot and get mileage and my time as a fee. But I make no warranties.

Snake-A-Way is an EPA registered repellent. That makes it a "pesticide" according to Federal law (FIFRA). If you charge for your service, or even just collect a fee for your time and mileage, and you are not a licensed pesticide applicator/operator then be sure to check in advance with your state pesticide regulatory agency about their interpretation and enforcement policies regarding repellent applications. This is one of those situations where everything goes great as long as everybody stays happy but can go expensively wrong if somebody complains and you are not properly licensed and insured.

I was reading this and had to chuckle since we recently covered snake repellents. There are no toxic baits, sprays, poisons or fumigants registered for snake control. Most repellents on the market are ineffective. University tests have shown moth balls to be completely ineffective as a deterrent. Removing debris, rocks, brush, wood piles and tall grass, which provide cover for snakes, may reduce their numbers. -Excerpt March 29, 2007 Garter snakes are gardeners' friends BY DENNIS FERRARO EXTENSION EDUCATOR UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA http://www.omaha.com/index.php?u_page=1219&u_sid=2355639

That comment on Dennis Ferraro is absolutely correct. He did the research on Snake-Away. His results, no effect. He is also a colleague of mine. Go Huskers!!
