Snake repellents     Which is the best one for you?.

Snake repellents work in many different ways. Which one is best for you depends on your needs and local laws. So depending upon whether you want to make snakes avoid you and your property or whether you want to catch or kill them will determine the solution for you.

What to do with snakes?

Generally snake kill is not the best way to elliminate the danger as many authorities frown on this. Many snakes are protected so to simply kill a snake is not the way to go if you want to remove snake danger. To do so will only leave you open to prosecution and another danger to yourself and your family, debt and prosecution.

The best alternative is to trap them and remove them, or to simply convince the snake that he does not want to come around your place. This very same premise is what led to the development of effective methods of detering snakes in the first place. Why risk prosecution when you can make them go away simply by using effective deterrents?

So, what methods are available? Plenty! There are traps which invite the snake to enter a device that then springs closed, or has a sticky substance in it that the snake cant escapre from. You can then simply pick it up (safely) and remove the snake to a safe (and preferrably very distant) place. A bit manual and reliant on you checking the trap regularly, and also reliant on no other animal interfering in the meantime.

Another alternative is to use deterrents. They come in a couple of forms: electronic deterrents, chemical repellents.

Electronic repellents

electronic snake repellents have been developed to scare snakes away. They emit a pulsing vibration which causes the snake to evacuate the area. These work by utilising the snakes ability to pick up sound waves conducted through the air (but only at very low frequencies). They actually sense the vibration right throughout their bodies via their spine.

It is environmentally safe and will not affect any other animals, birds or livestock.

Chemical repellents

Chemical repellents take advantage of an animal’s natural aversions, and are often things that the animal has learned to avoid (or instinctively avoids) in its natural environment. Some animals will avoid anything that has the odor of the urine of certain predators for example.
Chemical repellents mimic these natural repellent substances, or are so irritating to a specific animal that it will avoid the protected object or area. Some of these chemical repellents combine both principles.

Chemical snake repellents are not designed to produce a snake kill but instead have a good chance of preventing the reptiles from entering your property perimeter, much less your house. If you live in an area where snakes are abundant, especially poisonous ones, it is recommended that you always carry a snake repellent to keep those slinky reptiles at bay.
