I wouldn't hazard a guess, but I can tell you one thing NOT to do. A co-worker, years ago, did this.

Being deathly and irrationally afraid of snakes, he noticed a 4 footer, while mowing, sitting near his house. He got his gas can, thoroughly doused the poor thing and tossed a match on it, whereupon it shot into a hole in his foundation and set his house afire, inside the wall. Several thousand in damages before the Fire Dept. got there and put it out.
