How to Get Rid of Snakes

!: How to Get Rid of Snakes

There are several different varieties of venomous snakes in the United States such as the copperhead and the rattlesnake. Some snakes live in or near water and others live on land. They are all carnivores that stalk and kill their prey. Unless you're absolutely sure that the species you're dealing with isn't venomous, it's a good idea to just avoid them. Even a venomous baby snake can inflict a painful and dangerous bite.

So how do you get rid of snakes that have taken up residence on your property?

The simple answer is that you or someone properly equipped and trained is going to have to catch them and take them away. There are all kinds of different ideas on how to discourage them or drive them away, but the evidence shows most of these to be worthless. Commercial snake repellents do not work. Some people have suggested predator urine from an animal like a coyote or a fox. Ultrasonic sound emitters. Mothballs in your yard. Ammonia soaked rags. The list goes on and on, but none of these have been proven successful in driving away snakes - but if you feel you've discovered a miracle deterrent that doesn't involve a mongoose, please share it with the rest of our readers using the form at the bottom of this page.

Again, the only way to get rid of snakes is to catch them and physically remove them from your property and the only way to keep them away is to eliminate a snake-friendly environment.

To discourage them from taking up residence on your property, start by eliminating their desired environments. Make sure your lawn is mowed and not overgrown with high weeds. Cut back overgrowth. Keep log piles and compost heaps a safe distance from your house. Use wire mesh fences at ground level around crawl spaces or your garden to keep snakes out of those places. Reducing the rodent population which is their main food supply will also send them elsewhere to eat. If you still find one slithering across your lawn, call the local Animal Control people to come remove it from your property.

Of course, as with all methods involving animal behaviour, we can't guarantee effectiveness in every situation, however, our own experience and the feedback we get from customers suggests that this device is effective in most situations.

Please note that if you leave food out for birds, the food will be an attractant to rodents and squirrels, making it more difficult for any repeller to be effective.

*Complete with "on/off" switch to save the battery when not required. (in normal use, expect battery life of 3 - 4 months depending on how many times the PIR motion sensor is activated).
*It will affect cat and dog pets if they are outside, but the noise wont pass through the walls of the house.
*It shouldn't affect birds, however, please note that if you're trying to use it in a bird house, the motion sensor will be activated by the birds and the battery won't last long.

Give us a call if you want to know more about how they work - speak to one of our experts for a full explanation of how to get the most out of these humane and effective deterent systems.
