Snake Repellent and Snake Trap

Snake repellents are commonly used to repel Copperheads, Rattlesnakes and other poisonous snakes. The checkered Garter Snake is also repelled by using a snake repellent.

The key to using any repellent is to follow the label directions carefully. Often homeowners will over apply a repellent and make their own living area unlivable. Moderation is the key and label direction.

This product is to be applied in a perimeter (around the affected area such as a home or playground) and open areas left to allow the snakes to leave. After the prescribed period, apply the product to close off the gaps and your treatment is complete. This product is great for playground, homes, businesses, sheds and outbuildings that need treated for snake control and removal. You will find this product here: Snake Repellent

If the snake has entered the home, a snake trap will need to be installed. A snake trap will allow the snake to be captured and if you like, it to be relocated.

Modern snake traps have a rubber like glue installed in them. The snake is caught in the glue and then vegetable oil is liberally applied to the glue and the captured snake can be released. Snakes are very beneficial reptiles and reduce rodent populations. A snake trap is an effective way to capture the snake in your basement, crawlspace, garage, shed or outbuilding.

Once the snake has been removed, you must determine how it got in and then plug those holes. Copper mesh is an effective snake and rodent deterrent and it will not create rust stains like steel wool will. You simply cut the mesh to the proper length and fill in the gaps where the "intruder" came it. You will find this product here: Copper Mesh
