There is a snake repellent the will work for two months at a time and will cost about 25$.00 for a half acre lot
Get a mongoose.
moth balls in the house and sulfur sprinkled around your garden/porch area will drive them away for good.
Moth Balls
id recomend a cat
Generally, cats do a good job of keep snakes out of an area. Moth balls have also been said to be good, but the chemicals would not be good for a garden area or in a house with small children.
I suggest resurrecting St Patrick
buy some mothballs and put them around your hosu the smell will repel them
I live in TX and at a home and garden centers we have snake away…there are also places on the web to purchase it….it is a little costly, but have been told by ranchers w/ livestock that it works…as soon as our property dries up a bit I intend on getting some…I am deathly affraid of them….good luck!
Well i know this is going to sound like a broken record but mouth balls,but you also need some seven dust ,or cedar cheep around your house or in flower beds, sulfur and or a out side dog or cat! Gennie’s hate and can detect when there is a snake around if you want to try them they also will eat fleas and ticks or any other kind of bugs in your yard.
If you have snakes on your property that means you have snake food on your property ie rats, mice, birds, lizards, other snakes, frogs, toads, fish etc….
Get rid of the snake’s food source and you get rid of the snakes. Rodents probably attract more snakes than any other group of animals. Clean up your yard, remove any brush piles, stacks of firewood, trash piles, loose rock piles, abandoned buildings or barns etc. Mow your property frequently & keep your bushes and trees trimmed. Don’t leave any type of pet or animal food out. Make sure any bird feeder does not spill excessive amounts of bird seed. Only use locking top or rodent proof trash cans.
Do these things and you will get rid of most rodents. Without rodents the snakes will look for food elsewhere.
Also products like moth balls & Snake Away have limited to no affect on keeping reptiles away and both contain possible carcinogens.
First of all do you know what type of snake that it was that left the snake skin? If you do then you know if the snake posses a possible threat to you or not. I would suggest – depending on where you live- getting a couple of horses or perhaps some guinees since they are good at killing snakes. Guinees are a type of bird and would help your yard and garden biologically. Hope that this helps.
buy a live rat for when you see it put it on the flour and it will slither after it i have a snake and i feed it mice or rats or you can call the rspca to come and find it and remove it. they like warn so check were it is warm
This really works mothballs they hate the smell put it around your house on the out side and around where you don’t want them to go don’t put in your garden but away from it a bit and around they won’t come near it. Hope this helps it is very in expense at walmart
Yeah, this question has pretty much been well answered. You really should find out what kind of snake it was that left the skin. A non-poisonous snake will definitely be a benefit, taking care of rodents and other pests for you. Of course a venomous one, well, it too will take care of the rodents and pests, AND the family dog, your chickens, your children, YOU!
(BUT if its NOT venomous, then I highly recommend that you get over your irrational fear of snakes, they do FAR more good than harm!)
