8 Easy Ways To Keep Snakes Away From Your Yard

5. Seal your house

You don’t want snakes in your garden, and you certainly don’t want them in your home. Make sure to seal all cracks in your foundation and around doors and windows. You should also make sure there are no holes in window screens etc.

6. DIY Snake Repeller

Snake repellents filled with chemicals can harm your pets, family members, and plants. You can make your own natural snake repellent using equal amounts of cinnamon oil and clove oil. Spray the solution around the perimeter of your house, yard, and anywhere you suspect snakes might be hiding.

7. Mothballs

Not only do mothballs deter insects, but they also deter snakes. You can place mothballs around your foundation and back porch to deter them. However, mothballs can be highly toxic to children and pets, so you should not have mothballs around.

8. Move them

If you’ve tried everything, you can also buy humane snake traps and put them in your garden. When you catch a snake, leave it in a wooded area away from your house!
