Rattlesnakes On The Rise

Has anyone noticed more rattlesnakes than normal. All the time, I am see more and pictures on Facebook and IG, about people killing rattlesnakes.

Last week a friend of mine killed a rattlesnake outside her store and also one inside of the store.

And these aren't baby ones,either. They all seem to be pretty good size. The other night when I was leaving the movies, I saw a huge one slither across the road. I tried to turn around and take a picture but he moved to fast.

Some people say you can put out mothballs to keep them away, another person said you can put sulfur out. Do you guys know if any of these work? Have you seen and increased number of snakes?
