Seal gaps in foundations and under doors
-
Trim bushes and shrubs away from your house
Use Gravel or Sharp Mulch
Snakes prefer smooth surfaces. Sharp materials like gravel, pine cones, or holly leaves are uncomfortable for them to crawl over.
What Doesn’t Work
-
Mothballs – Not designed for outdoor use; toxic to children, pets, and the environment
-
Ultrasonic devices – No scientific evidence they work
-
Fake predators – Snakes quickly learn they’re not a threat
-
-
A combination of methods works best. Use these scents as part of an integrated approach to snake management.
