SNAKE PROOF FENCING MESH
Any suggestions as to where I might buy some snake proof fencing mesh.There have been one or two sightings recently!

What kind of snakes were noticed. Black snakes are absolutely no problem. They get rid of a.o. vipers, rats, mice etc. (like other snakes do). Apart from that I do not think there is such a thing as 100% snake proof fencing.

Might be in theory! I had several times in the past vipers in my pool skimmers, even having more than 3 m wide, sharp gravel all around the pool area...

Someone once told me that planting Rosemary would deter them I’ve no idea could be just an “Old wife’s “ tale

As far as I know is that Rosemary would deter cats. As I have ca 20m2 growing in my garden it did no help in case of the vipers... but after I put a layer of cut Rosemary branches on the path where the cats normally enter my place they did not walk over it... (but 5 meters next to it
)

One of my cat's favourite sitting spots was right next to a prostrate rosemary, overlooking the BBQ area - he likes to see what's going on and usually managed to scrounge some tidbits from a BBQ.
