Okay I got a question on another site that baffled me.
Anybody ever hear about something (chemical) you can put on your property to repel rattlesnakes?
I've never heard of anything like it but if it exists I'm sure some AH'r will know.
-
napalm? I hear it works on more than just snakes too. :aok
-
Moth balls aren't necessarily a chemical, but seem to have some effect if you put them in areas where you have seen snakes.

Put a giant rope on the ground around your property.
Seemed to work out for rooster cogburn in true grit. :aok :lol

:headscratch: very odd...found something vague on a product called snake away.

:lol not sure i would want to rely on any type of chemical myself.

You could always use my philosophy on snakes.......
see a snake, shoot a snake. :devil

Moth balls work as well as a product made by the manufacturers of Liquid Fence called Snake Away

I rely on a shotgun myself but she doesn't care for firearms and the thought of a rattler around her cabin gives her the heebie jeebies. Normally I'd point and laugh but she's a good friend of long standing (and kind of cute too) ;)

Old Greek recipe, but it should work on any kind of snake.
1) Catch the snake
2) Feed snake 30 table spoons of dry sand
3) Wait 3 days, then shoot the snake
4) Snake does not come back. Probably because it does not like the taste of dry sand? :headscratch:

Get rid of the reason for snakes and you won't have any snakes.

A neighbour out here (Mojave Desert) swears by wild garlic plants at all points snakes might come in - seems to work with the poisonous variety - constrictors not so much, guess constrictors like a bit of garlic with their food.

Go to a nusery or garden center and ask for a product called I got to garden they have a line of repelents, my wife raises doves to sell and it keeps the snakes away havent lost a dove since we started using the stuff.
-

:lol
It also works with mosquitoes and flies. Of coarse it would be silly to use 30 tables spoons of sand on them. 1 or 2 will do just fine :old:

I know when I did pest control for a while back in Australia many years ago we sprayed Chlordane.
It is an Insecticide that has long since been banned.
It worked though problem areas ceased to have issues with the Australian nasty's.
Probably every other living thing as well since it is banned.

EASY!! Show them a bigger snake! Just go outside and start to unzi.....never mind
-
heres the perfect snake remedy.
Step 1: aqquire 10 ga. shotgun
Step 2: shoot snake
Step 3: eat snake
or if the state doesnt allow for in-city shotgun snake removal do it all with a pellet gun. :lol
-
I've seen the snake away stuff...
I think it's like mothballs - smells the same anyway. Supposed to put it around the perimeter of property to keep snakes from coming in. Only problem is, it keeps the snakes that are already on the property in!

man am I the only one who loves snakes?
to kill a snake "just because" is so wrong......
get a snake pole it will allow you to handle it and bring it far from the house....no need to kill them....grab it...around the neck with the pole, place it in a pillow case or large bag, drive it a few miles away......easy, and no killing of a creature that we are gonna make extinct..if we dont smarten up.
being afraid of snakes no matter what kind is ludicrous...unless your a woman........then its a bit more understanding. :old:

There's a lot on the market but nothing works. Snake oil...
As somebody suggested, get to know the snakes and reason why are they coming to your property, which in most cases is food and/or shelter. Remove those and snakes will be gone too.
If all else fails, purchase half a dozen of kingsnakes (pet stores). They'll get rid of rattlesnakes for sure.

Bighorn is right, poisonous and constrictors will not be found in the same area (constrictors live in my FIL's yard, no rattlers or vipers ever in there)
I"ve moved a couple of snakes for people who dont like them - mainly constrictors (this is despite telling them of the benefits of having them around relatively nearby).
Moved a viper out of my FIL's garage (outside the yard). Grabbed it behind the head, held its tail, took it 200ft away from where he was, then let it go. Didn't hang around to see where it went, if they get annoyed with you, the viper will chase you around a bit lol.........(this one didnt fortunately)

same with the King Cobra, he eats other snakes almost exclusively.

King Cobra would eat the king snake every time. not even a chance for the king snake.
king snake about 5-6 feet (maybe a bit longer)
King Cobra 18 feet of insanely nasty attitude

Just thought of something else that might work. Get a mongoose, that'll probably kill all snakes on your property.

just one is not gonna cut it, yes they kill snakes but they attack them as a pack not singularly.

Then you should prepare yourself young man. Some day you will run into one and you have to know the appropriate evasive action. They're sneaky and usually run in packs.

well, the crazed family i live with they have probably already prepared me for such a thing. not to mention i was in cougar capital for 13 years of my life. :bolt:

Best snake remedy I have seen, and it works!
#1 - dress up as jackie chan
#2 - Tie a headband around your head
#3 - Find a sword, the sharper the better
#4 - Run toward a snake screaming your head off
#5 - proceed to cut it up into tiny bits
#6 - celebrate your victory! :cool:

I grew up a country boy, so snakes were normally something fun to catch, much like frogs and lizards. So I never grew up with any sort of fear of snakes. As others have said, remove the reason for them being there and your snake problem will clear up. At my current house I had a large population of garter snakes. I had two things drawing them in, one was an abundance of large slugs, eww. The other was I had a couple of large female garter snakes that tended to attract the small male ones like crazy. I removed a couple of old wood structures from the property, and removed quite a few large female garter snakes (relocated to a nearby woods, about a mile away). Snake problem is greatly reduced, not really a problem for me. More of a problem for the snakes, since my German Shepard doesn't seem to play nice with them :frown:. I occasionally get one now and then, I removed about 6 this summer. A couple years ago, I'm sure the number was closer to 20 :O. My wife isn't afraid of them even though she was a city girl, albeit she is not a fan of them.

Sounds like me growing up. All the people in the neighborhood called my mom and dad when they had a snake in the yard so they could have me go and remove it. My mom never let me remove snakes from our yard when she saw them first. I would fine finely diced snake bits. She once chopped a 10 inch Garter snake into about 25 pieces when he crawled out from under a rock in her flower garden. Luckily we never had much of an issue with poisonous snakes near my house. We have rattlers, copperheads, and the rare cottonmouth in WV. I have never seen a rattler in the wild here, only one cottonmouth, and a fair number of copperheads. I most often had to remove our common buddies, garters and blacks.
