Snake Repellent

There are numerous myths when it comes to snake repellents, from mothballs, to sprays, to snake bombs (smoke or mist) sold that claim to keep these serpents away. No matter the snake repellent you choose to try, you are unlikely to see results. Professionals who have been working with wildlife for years will tell you the same thing and can tell you countless stories of customers who have tried various repellents without success.

What About Mothballs?

One of the most common suggestions for snake repellents is mothballs, which is also a key ingredient in many repellents that you can buy and claim to get rid of the snakes. In reality, mothballs, or a solution containing them, won’t have any effect on the serpent at all. The animal will just ignore it and keep doing whatever it was before you spent money on the mothballs. To make it worse, keep in mind that mothballs are actually poison and can damage the red blood cells in us humans as well as certain animals or lead to liver failure. Using mothballs will poison your family, pets, and even the land, depending on where you use them.

What About Purchased Repellents?

A quick online search for snake repellents is all it takes to find dozens of chemical and natural solutions that claim they will resolve your snake problem once and for all. Never trust their claims. Most professional wildlife removal experts have dealt with snakes for years, and seen homeowners try every single repellent on the market with no results. Save your time and skip the repellents.

Do Any Repellents Work?

There are a few repellents that work better than store-bought options, but are harder to get. These include kingsnake musk and mongoose urine. However, only a licensed professional will have access to these substances so you need will need to hire one of them. Just keep in mind that the repellent’s scent, and therefore effectiveness, will dissipate quickly.

You Don’t Need To Repel Snakes

As counterintuitive as it may seem to some people, you actually shouldn’t want to repel snakes, provided that they are outside of your home, not within it. Snakes won’t harm you and even venomous ones are unlikely to bite unless provoked. Even so, it is rare to find a venomous snake on your property. In addition to being harmless to people and pets, snakes are actually good to have around. They keep away pests like rodents that can cause damage to your property, contaminate food supplies, or even spread disease.

If you do want to keep away snakes, make your property unappealing by getting rid of thick vegetation, decaying structures, or buildings that have gaps separating the floor and the ground. These are all areas serpents like to hide.
