portlaunay Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Thanks Candy. I've had a good read around about these things. Lots of anecdotal evidence about their effectiveness but there's no evidence based, objective trial that I can find and a lot of people who regularly handle snakes who warn of the false security they offer. There's also a Facebook page set up by a snake man who has made it his mission to discredit them. It seems they might be effective under certain conditions but those conditions aren't really seen in WA and as a deterrent they're rather like a "Keep Out" warning sign. If there's something the snake wants, they'll tolerate the deterrent to get at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Nothing works on the " dunnie adder " anyway, as they spend a lot of time in the water, only seeing daylight once in a while, you never see them, just when your settling down with the newspaper ... Wham... Too late, rarely fatal but can result in amputations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
