The appearance of snakes on a site can become a real problem for gardeners and vegetable growers.
Some species can be dangerous to human health, especially if they are poisonous. Therefore, if you find snakes on your garden plot, it is important to take measures to eliminate them.
Here are some effective ways to help get rid of them, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
Check for areas where debris and leaves accumulate
Snakes can find shelter in abandoned places on a summer cottage plot, especially if there are piles like this one there.
Therefore, clean up your garden plot and periodically stir up the places where they can settle.
Plant plants that repel snakes
There are plants that make your garden less attractive to snakes.
Garlic, onion, rosemary or minty lupine can repel them with their smell.
You can also plant daisy flowers as they can prevent rodents and therefore reduce the number of snakes in the area.
Use chemical repellents
These are insecticides that contain ingredients that repel snakes. Some of them contain natural extracts or essential oils.
They must be used with caution, following the instructions for use, as some repellents can be dangerous to animals and plants.
Use sound repellents
Such means provide a constant high-frequency sound that a person cannot hear, but it will scare away the snake.
If you have a problem with snakes and all attempts to eliminate them have failed, you can contact professionals who will provide snake extermination services on your property. Such specialists know which methods are the most effective and environmentally friendly.
So, you can get rid of snakes using the above methods, depending on your ability to put in the effort and the resources available. However, remember that safety is a priority in the process of snake removal.
