How many are there?

So throughout last year I’ve found a total of 3 snakes in my grandparents home. Today I’ve found number 4. There are definitely mice in their home and I’m also sure the snakes are coming from the attic. But if there were 4 so far, how many more do you think could be up there? And I’m sure I should start setting out snake poison through all entry points right?

    Wrong. Unless the snakes are venomous, they don't do any harm and help by eating the mice. What you should do is get rid of the mice. Close up any entrance holes and set lots of mousetraps. Peanut butter is an effective simple bait. If there is no food for the snakes, they will leave. You should also insure thyat the mice can't get at the food in your grandparents' house.
