28. What do they want Pigs?

The general rule to get rid of snakes is to move in Pigs. Pigs LOVE snakes, find them delicious. The problem with pigs is to they do other damage, the advantage is they are quite large and thus easy to hunt.

These tree snakes cause a problem, they are tree living snakes, which makes them harder for the pigs to get to. Pigs use they nose to find the snakes. You may have to feed the pigs to keep them alive, the snakes then become a snack, this dual system, permit more pigs to eat more snakes (the pigs do not have to depend on snakes as food, thus more pigs after fewer snakes).

The problem is how BEST to get rid of these snakes, I hate to say this, but a double hit of these mice AND pigs would be better then one alone (with searches and even cutting down trees helping the removal of the snakes).
