I relocate them after killing them first,about 1/2 dozen per year or more.
My dog has been bitten twice and I have young kids.
Wherever I would relocate them to has enough snakes, or else it’s not a good place for rattlesnakes…pretty simple. My five year old noticed a rattlesnake while we were pulling up green bean plants. We were all just reaching down in there pulling away until enough plants were gone to see the snake.
FYI, The first time the dog got bit it was really bad because It was about 100 degrees out and it was hours after the bite when I first noticed. The dog could not breath well, or more importantly pant. His blood was boiling and that’s what would have killed him, not the actual poison. I took him to the vet and the vet gave him an ice bath and anti-venin and kept him for a week.
The second time it was cooler and I notice right away. I found a snake near the house mad as hell so I knew the dog had been there first. I killed the snake and started wetting the dog with a cool spray immediately we got him on benadryl and rest.
He got better in about 3 days. Swelled up pretty bad in the neck area and slobbered a lot but is fine now.
