Getting rid of snakes is quite of challenge in globe areas where people die because of snake bites. Presently, ingenious inventors have come up with special snake repellant systems, yet, besides the ready made items, there are common sense things that you can turn to so as lower the odds of snakes choosing your garden to make their den. First of all, bushes, shrubs and ponds are great snake habitats, as they have a great hiding corner to wait for prey; moreover, in a bushy garden, snakes can travel from one spot to another without difficulty. Therefore, make sure that the reduction of vegetation is thorough so as to make a good snake repellant method.

Then, mowing the lawn regularly makes another great snake repellant method since too high grass can camouflage snakes pretty well. Moreover, such a lawn represents the ideal environment for some of the favorite meals in the menu of a snake: mice and other small rodents, frogs, locusts and crickets. When the lawn is mowed short, then snakes will avoid it as an open space that makes them vulnerable to the attack of other predatory species like hawks and owls. Crowded areas close to the house could pose just the same risk of, becoming nests for poisonous or non-poisonous snakes. Hence, get rid of wood piles, open garages and compost heaps from the yard.

In African wilderness, local people use camel or goat hair ropes as great snake repellant means: snakes do not slither over such rough surfaces. Aborigines will often guard their open-air sleeping area with such ropes to protect. A similar snake repellent principle is followed in tent design, which is why there are usually nets that have to be zipped up in order to prevent snakes and other insects from entering. Make sure you do not forget to zip the tent when entering or getting out, or you may have unwelcome guests joining you.

Snake repellant solutions do exist in other forms too and they include special foams, nets and all sorts of protections for window sills for instance. Many such equipments are considered unfair according to animal rights protection. Consequently, it would be wise to focus on harmless snake repellant ways. If by any chance you come across dangerous snakes nesting in your garden, do not attempt to destroy or chase them away, as they will attack when threatened. Ask for some pest control service and have the animals safely removed, and no harm will be done to either party.
