SnakesIf you are encountering snakes and want them off your property, you may want to set up some type of snake control program.Repellents are a good first line of defense. Snake Away Granules do a wonderful job of keeping snakes away from designated areas. This material is simply sprinkled onto grass and acts as a fumigant. The odor repels snakes and may last for several months. It is safe around children and pets and is ideal for creating a barrier between suspected snake nests and play areas in the yard. This barrier is created by sprinkling the small granules out along the border of where the snakes would be coming from and where you don't want the snakes to go. Such locations can be along fences, between a wooded area and your grass, along the back part of your property where a stream or creek is flowing, a log or firewood pile, or just around your house. Applications will generally last 2 months. If you already have a snake in your house, garage, or basement you should use a Snake Guard Trap for removal. This trap is made of lightweight cardboard and has glue inside it which is strong enough to hold a large snake. The trap has a low profile and can be placed under furniture or shelving where snakes are suspected to be nesting. Once caught, you can release the animal by pouring vegetable oil on it. Do this at least 3 miles away from your home where the snake will be able to establish itself. |
