I put it on the Snake thread but figured you guys might get a kick out of this. I think they had a nest under my grandkid's playscape, seven total found and dispatched within 20 minutes or so.

I plan to lift the wooden structure up with the tractor to make sure that was it and then modify for safety…and make sure grandma doesn't move or move me out.
I don't think you know me.

In before the pagans come to tell you how important those are to the eco system and how you should have just removed the food source.

Why are you moving the playground in the middle of the night?

I'm not, that will happen during the daylight, after the fact. Right around dusk I was pushing my 3 year old granddaughter in the swing when one of our dogs started getting after the first one.

they can be like rodents. once they found a place they like to nest, they will keep coming back.

I'd recommend spraying the area with something to "clean". you don't want their pheromones lingering, inviting more to come back

I'll play along because I think there is bunch of confusion with the "just remove the food source" comment.

First of all, I don't blame the OP for killing the snakes and I would want absolutely zero venomous snakes around my kids. I think almost everyone on this board agrees with that.

When I have said "remove the food source", I am not blaming the OP or anyone else for the snakes being there in the first place; however, I am noting that the snake is typically in an area for a reason and more will return if that reason remains unmitigated. If you have rats in your house and keep killing the snakes trying to eat them but never address the rat problem, you're going to continue to have a problem with snakes. Killing or removing the snake + removing the food source and/or shelter > removing the snake only. It is not even debatable.

If that makes me a pagan or tree hugger or whatever, I guess so be it

There is a snake thread dedicated to this issue. OP posted on said thread. He apparently wants more juice.

And yes I responded to his post that his snake problem needed a fix.
