[pct-l] snake-a-way

[Tortoise]

Here one test I found via gooogling on how effective the product is.
Fairly effective but not 100%

the test was reportedly done by the University of Florida in 1989 so the
test results may be out-of-date.  However the tests showed effectiveness 
from low to 100% depending on snake species.
