I need some advice.

we're relocating and we have 2 garden sheds, and have been thinking of placing them on wooden blocks in order to avoid ants and other insects from infiltrating the spaces. Is it a good or bad idea to place storage sheds up off the ground, or, should we place them directly on the ground? the reason I'm asking is because we have seen rattlesnakes get under swamp coolers and such, and we don't know if they do this on a regular basis or if this is just something they do once in awhile.

Default Ants and rattlers

Rattlers do not like ants, but then, what does? Are the sheds metal? If a rattler gets hot enough, it boils. And this is at far lower temps than we can handle. No cooling system. I would think, tho, that if the sheds were on the ground, rodents would get under them, and that attracts snakes. If the area is low enough, it might appear as a good denning area.

Best bet: Buy a barrow (castrated male hog) for a pet. they love rattlers. In the fall, put him in the freezer. Is mine is the only answer you get, ask again! We have a bunch of experienced folks here.

Don't understand. Put the hog in the freezer or the snake? Or both?

Come fall you will no longer have to worry about snakes and you will have plenty of pork in the freezer.

lol!
Watch your horses around the barrow- most horses do not like the scent of pigs.
