I have done a few tests on snake repellent and you are right most do not work, or at least not for very long. The best thing I have found that works is to keep vegetation and rubbish to a minimum around my home. I live on several acres though, and a lot of it is brushy forest. When ever I do anything in those areas I wear snake gaiters and they give me some peace of mind.

The ONLY way I know of to get rid of snakes is a 45 you can load with buck shot !
That is why I carry the JUDGE, works every time
Happy hunting ! ! !

I saw a snake with markings like a diamondback rattler on my back porch today. It slithered towards the house and disappeared. Animal control said they will not out because it is no longer on the porch. After a couple minutes of going WTF! I came up with an idea. Snakes fear humans and attack when they feel threatened. Given the fear of humans and given they sense a lot through vibration I decided to blast Germanic and Viking death metal throughout the house as loud as I could. Also since they are cold blooded and therefor are drawn heat, I turned on the air conditioning as cold as I could

I live in a small town in Nebraska. I have several dens of garter snakes in my yard that cause sink holes. There is usually one hole at the surface of each, just big enough for a large one to get through, but there is one hole big enough to put my fist through! We also have a root cellar that has tons of them. I am not afraid of them or hate them so I usually don’t like to kill good snakes like them. But there are way too many & I don’t like the sink holes! I’ve been told to put moth balls & also lime around, but have also heard that this just causes them to shed & come back. I am going to try pouring bleach down the holes then fill the area with more dirt. I don’t know if this will be a permanent solution, but need to try something. If this works, I’ll let you all know.

Ya’ll are funny. Here’s my problem, I have a cattle tank maybe ten feet behind my storage building. It also houses my laundry room, and a play room for my grandmonsters. This afternoon my grandsons found a cottonmouth under a roofed patio area out there. Out there being about fifteen feet from my house. Thinking it was a copperhead my nine and five yr old boys chopped it up with a posthole digger. I want the snakes to die. I don’t care if it’s a slow painful death or a short sweet one. What can I put in my tank to poison the snakes. NO fish or cattle use it. Only cottonmouths folks. and if you’re one of those silly animal rights goobers you come swim in my tank anytime you want.

I live in the country and have a huge snake that keeps eating my goose eggs and my geese are even afraid of it but we have only seen it once but eggs keep disappearing I heard along time ago that if you put a golf ball down with the eggs the snake will eat it and cacan’t pass it…. Is this true? If not someone tell me how else to kill it!!!

Have found that pouring or spraying a snake with paraffin makes it disappear.The smell of paraffin also makes them snakes ran away fast.

Try spraying diesel on your backyard or just about anywhere you don’t want them to go.
gasoline and kerosene will also do the trick but dangerous.
lastly, try crushed garlic. place em anywhere.
mountaineers in tropical countries use them during climbs to bushy trails.

If you want to find the snake in your house, try putting flour on the floor or along baseboards and it will leave trails from the snakes movements

Not a comment, request for help. How do I get a snake out from underneath my 2007, Chyrsler SeBre?
