Snake Repellant
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 eliminate the chances of snakes choosing your garden to make their den. First of all, bushes, shrubs and ponds are great snake habitats, as they provide a great hiding corner to stalk on prey; moreover, in a bushy garden, snakes can move freely from one spot to another without difficulty. Therefore, a first snake repellant solution is to keep thick vegetation away from the house.
Then, mowing the lawn regularly makes another great snake repellant method since too high grass can camouflage snakes pretty well. Moreover, such a lawn is the perfect environment for some of the favorite meals in the menu of a snake: locusts, small rodents, mice, crickets and even frogs. A short lawn will be avoided by snakes as an unsafe space that makes them vulnerable to the attack of other predatory species like owls or hawks. Any cluttered area around the house can cause just as much trouble, becoming nests for venomous or non-venomous snakes. Hence, eliminate wood stacks, open sheds and compost heaps from the yard.
In African wilderness, local people knit camel or goat hair ropes for snake protection and snake repellant purposes: snakes do not slither over such rough surfaces. Aborigines will often surround their bed location with such ropes to themselves against the deadly bites of some of the African poisonous snakes. Modern tent design takes this snake repellant issue very seriously, thus 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 controversial according to animal rights protection. Consequently, it would be wise to focus on harmless snake repellant ways. If by any chance you suspect lethal 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 relocated in a wild area, and no harm will be done to either party.
