King snakes are about the best thing you can have to control pit viper 
populations, be it rattle snakes or copperheads. We used to catch them - 
easy to do -  if we saw them and bring them back to the house and put 
them around the stable, corn cribs, hay barn, etc. and when you have a 
few of them around, you have no more problem with vipers. They seem to 
like it there and grew to amazing size because of the easy picking for 
food. Black snakes work well to but black snakes are a bit nasty 
themselves. The king snake is very mild mannered with humans but is a 
killing machine when it comes to pit vipers.
