AC condensate drain water attracts snakes and mice - a rock pit drain reduces the attraction

Snakes and mice are attracted to the water coming from the air conditioning condensate drain at our southwest Texas desert hunting property. Water was pooling on the ground surface providing a nice drinking hole for them. We dug a large hole and filled it with 2"-3"rocks to eliminate the surface ponding and greatly reduce the attraction and access the snakes and mice have to the water. We simply used rocks from the yard and a previous excavation to build the rudimentary drain. The cost for the drain was $0.00 ! We also eliminated cover for them further reducing the probability they will visit the area around the house.
