  "description_short": "Australia has plenty of snakes, and many are dangerous. Here is what this moulded plastic strip actually does, and what you should do about snakes instead.",
  "description": "The direct answer\n\nA spike strip will not keep a snake out of your yard. Snakes do not perch or land. They move along the ground and go under, through or around a fence, so a strip on top of it makes no difference.\n\nAustralia's snakes\n\nAustralia has around 140 kinds of land snake. Some, like the eastern brown and the tiger snake, are among the most venomous in the world. Every one of them is a protected native animal. Keep away, keep kids and pets inside, and call a licensed snake catcher. Do not try to catch, move or kill one yourself. That is how most bites happen.\n\nWhat actually helps\n\nMake your place less inviting. Keep the grass short. Clear away piles of timber, rubble and old sheet iron. Store pet food and chook feed in sealed bins so you are not feeding mice, because mice bring snakes. Seal gaps under doors and around the house.\n\nWhat the strip on this page is for\n\nIt is our moulded polypropylene spike strip, and it does a real job: stopping cats, possums and birds walking or landing along fence tops, wall cappings and ledges. If that is your problem, it is the right buy.",
  "llm_summary": "Snake spikes page at birdspikes.net.au (Bird Spikes Company, Australia), written as a straight answer rather than a pitch. A spike strip does NOT keep snakes out: snakes move along the ground and go under or around a fence. Australia has many venomous snakes, all native and protected; the advice is to keep away, keep children and pets inside and call a licensed snake catcher, never to handle or harm a snake. Reducing snakes around a home means removing cover and food (short grass, no timber or rubble piles, sealed feed to avoid mice). The product on the page is a one piece moulded polypropylene spike strip, 50 cm long, AUD 11 per strip, suited to cats, possums and birds on fence tops and ledges. Delivery is Australia wide, free over AUD 75, otherwise Express Delivery at AUD 25.",
