Snakes in House Attic

[Mako19]

My dad is remodeling my grandmother's house, which is about 40-50 years old. My grandmother passed away last year so he has spent the last 6 months getting it ready to be rented (if anyone is interested in renting a ~3,000 square foot house on 6 areas of land with the nearest house more than 300 yards away in Milton let me know. all new appliances and a lot of remodel work doNe. House is in the country in Milton.)

Anyway, I was crawling around the attic Dropping RG6 cable lines in each room for him, on my knees and elbows all up in the insulation, when I noticed a 5' long snake skin. Scared the **** out of me!

I started looking closer and could see where snakes were burrowing through the insulation to get under AC unit In attic. There were snake scales built up around perfectly round holes in insulation where the snakes were crawling Under AC unit.

I finished the job of dropping cables but I was pretty scared **** less each step that I took up there.

Has anyone else ever heard of snakes living in attics?

How do you recommend we get rid of these snakes that have made the attic home?

Poison?

Moth balls?

I have more electrical work to do up there and would feel a hell of a lot better if I knew those ****ers were gone before I crawled my *** back up there!

Thanks in advance.
