I have a stone quarry in NE Pa with rattlesnakes in it.  How do I get
them out and keep them out?

You can keep them away from your home with the use of pigs.  I am
completely serious.  Pigs hate rattlesnakes and will kill them on
site.  The rattlesnakes cannot bite through the tough hide of the
pigs.

From that pdf link:
"Some have claimed that rattlesnakes benefit ranchers by
the number of rodents they eat, but current predator-prey theory dis-counts
this. It is very doubtful that snakes have much effect on the density of rodents."

"Hogs do not provide practical protection around a homestead."

They said "homestead," not mine, but they also said that rattlesnakes
don't control rodents?  That contradicts every other site I can find.

the massasaugua rattlesnake is endangered, and the timber rattlesnake
is on the candidate list.
