How to get rid of snakes from the garden?
There are questions and answers about snakes, on Y!A already but suggestions like secretary birds and mongoose were given, which do not live in US and UK. so any ideas that can work in US?
My friend is living very close to woods and cornfields, so they can cut back their own shrubs and grass but she thinks they are coming from the above.
Is it true that turkeys and ducks eat snakes? Does anyone know if lemon grass, or mint puts them off or anything else that does?
Thanks
Additional, thanks for that what sort of cat litter? We seem to have loads od different sorts here.
Nick P, I too think there are benefits to living nearer the town, especially for those of us who don't like snakes. However, these people live on a prairie, they are unlikely to leave. It has just been an exceptional year for snakes eeek!
Mix equal parts cat litter and mothballs together, and spread thickly across the ground to deter snakes. Snakes will get the cat litter stuck in their scales and do not like the smell of mothballs. You can purchase both cat litter and mothballs at your local grocery store or drugstore.
There are four main ways to discourage snakes from moving into a yard or home:
1.Eliminate cool, damp areas where snakes hide. Remove brush and rock piles, keep shrubbery away from foundations, and cut tall grass.
2.Control insect and rodent populations (the snakes’ primary food source) to force them to seek areas with a larger food supply. Put grains in tightly sealed containers and clean up residual pet food and debris.
3.In rattlesnake-infested areas, construct a snakeproof fence around the backyard or play area. Use 36-inch high galvanized hardware cloth with a 1/4-inch mesh and bury it 6 inches deep, slanted outward at a 30-degree angle. Make certain the gate fits tightly and swings into the play area. Keep all vegetation away from the fence to prevent snakes from climbing over it.
4.To prevent snakes from entering basements and crawl spaces, seal all openings 1/4 inch or larger with mortar, caulking compound or 1/8-inch hardware cloth. Check for holes or cracks around doors, windows, water pipes, electrical lines, etc.
Plant wild garlic along the fence as a snake repellent
