Do you put any kind of pesticide or herbicide on your lawn? If you do, you will have much fewer herps around. I've really come to believe this. I use absolutely no chemicals and I have more herps on my property than ever before. Toads, Grey tree frogs, garter snakes, black rat snakes, black racers. And, I have a million prairie voles. Those voles breed like mad in my area and I'm pretty sure they feed a lot of snakes.

Lawn chemicals kill herps! Just my 2 cents.
