            They can grow quite big if you're not careful. :hate-shocked:

                    I have kept them at bay with lots of Jeyes fluid...you have to water paths etc very often. My neighbour complained about its smell. They cause so much damage if left though.

                        They do see a snake and say 'ooh, snake' occasionally. Unless I've linked the wrong version.
