Is this the same earth they tell u will kill a snake if they crawl over it in your yard or flowerbed?

Yellowrose of Texas,
I haven't ever heard of that particular use before.
Horses are a lot more sensitive than dogs are. I used it on my horses when I had them and I have also used it on (and in, fed to) my dogs.
Please email me privately? :)
Thanks,
Melanie

We have copperheads here in Texas and Im scared to death of them....u walk up on one before u see them as they are the color of the dirt and when I first moved on my three acres , they were every where..A black lady down the road, house keeper for my neighbor said to put sulfur every where around beds and house, which I did, and she told me about a rope used when cowboys use to have a campfire...surround the camp with the rough rope used for the lariat , and snakes wouldnt crawl over them....and them someone told me about a bag of some kind of earth, u buy at the feed store and it was ground up glass or shells mixed with earth and the snakes would cut the stomach when they crawl over it as the under part of the snake is delicate...I wonder is this the same bag of stuff? It started with a "d" and sounds like the same thing, except how could u feed it to a dog and for what purpose? so the poop dissenagrates?

Never heard of it for snake removal, have heard of it as a non-toxic slug control and as a feed through fly control.
