Simply, NO. I have read this in a few "stories," but it is folklore. The best remedy is to clean the area; remove anything that will attract vermin like rats or mice; seal doors, cracks in wall and other points of entry; install aluminum window screen around outdoor raised patios or decks. Make sure the screen starts about 6 inches below ground and extends to the top of the opening. Commercial products like Snake Away have not been successful.

How do you prevent snakes from entering your house?

Thick hemp rope will work and if you don't have pets or very small children around then glass stucco (2 inches wide) around the perimeter of the house (same as the hemp rope.) Snakes have soft under-bellies and don't like the feel of either of these products. In some places in India they use hemp rope.The best way to get rid of the snakes is to make sure your back yard is not Snake Heaven. Keep the clutter down. No piles of wood or leaves, nothing they can nest in or hide under. Keep the grass mowed so they don't get comfortable hanging out in it. Also, take care of any rodent or insect problems quickly. If the snakes are migrating to your yard, they've probably got a good reason. A buffet line starring roaches and mice is one of the best. by kady barrie 8 years old


A horse is tied to a 30 foot rope A haystack lies 40 feet away but the horse is able eat the How is that?

Well, the answer would have to be he would eat the grass, which is called grazing. The other end of the rope isn't tied up. He is dragging a 30-foot rope around. He can go wherever he wants.


How do you rescue a cow that is bogged in a dam?

It depends on how far stuck in she is. If her head and neck is only protruding, you will have to rope her by the neck (or horns, if she has those) and pull her out that way. If you could get in with a tractor or truck some how to get some chains looped around her body that may help too, but often the oldest and most practiced method is a rope around her neck. Make sure it's a rope that can be released right away so that she won't choke and can catch her breath once you get her out.


When you lead a horse what equipment do you use and how do you use it?

You use a lead rope. You clip the lead rope to the bottom of the halter and you hold the lead rope and walk to the left of your horse, and just lead him/her around.


A horse is tied with a two meter long rope at a pole what distance will the horse run around the pole with rope tightly streached if it takes one and a holf round?

If a horse is tied with a two meter rope at a pole, there is no way of knowing the distance if he runs around it one and a half time. Without knowing the size of the pole, it's impossible to say.

Will snakes cross rope?

They will. There has been experiments proving that somesnakes will prefer to not cross a rope, but a rope around your campsite is by no means ever a snake proof barrier.

How did cowboys use rope and a horse to catch a cattle?

Cowboys used ropes and horses to catch cattle in a couple of ways. The horse itself was used to allow the cowboy to keep up with the cattle and for 'stopping power'. They would then lasso the cattle by either throwing the rope over the cattle's horns, head, or heels. Once the rope was secure around the animal they would then wrap the rope around the saddles horn or secure it in some other way if there was no horn to use. The horses size would keep the animal from getting away, like an anchor on a ship.
