My worry is a venomous snake in the house,after a cyclone or some such event.Just read about a chap a a place called yorkneys knob,who was bitten by a coastal taipan,in his home.I wouldn't know what to do if I was trapped in a room with a snake blocking the exit.Do glue traps and mesh traps work.I was visualising some kind of spiky mesh,which I could easily walk over but would deter a venomous snake.Apparently post cyclone in Townsville there have been loads of snakes in unusual places
