I need to cut some very long grass and we seem to be a haven for snakes.
As it has been heavily raining here for the past few days, does anyone know if it is safer to wait until the grass is dry before cutting it.

I have just two words for your situation jean, and they would be "flame" and "thrower" 🙂

I have two words as well Jims MowingCat Tongue.

 

Seriously though Jean I have no idea if wet or dry grass would be better, we have lots of snakes but not a lot of grass as most of our garden is a rock garden and they hide between the rocks so we don't see them.

Have a Field Day for the local Agricultural/Mower merchandisers.  Rent them the space for a couple of hours and charge $5 for the BBQ snag sandwiches that you'll be cooking within the fully moated garage.Smiley LOL

Wet or dry I'd be very very careful.
The grass needs to be cut to make your enviroment safer but would it in this case be worth the investment to hire a proffesional mower person just to get it under control

Creative*crisis, I asked our regular mower man and he said to hit it with rogor. OH does not approve, so it has to be cut.

Have you got tall gumboots or better yet waders that you could beg or borrow, By protecting most of your legs you should be relatively safe?

Put drums close to grass, bang drums loudly while you are jumping up and down and screaming like a banshee that should scare them away Woman LOL

 

Don't forget to wear long thick boots and gloves just in case.
