Most people are afraid of snakes. When they appear on their summer cottage, they want to get rid of them as quickly as possible.
But it is better to do this in the most humane way.
Despite the stereotypes, snakes can even be useful in the area, as they destroy mice, slugs, rats, lizards and large insects.
So, if you are not afraid of them, then you can tolerate them on the site. The rest will have to think about how to get rid of reptiles.
Where did they come from?
It is possible that it was not the snakes that appeared on the dacha plot, but he himself appeared there, reptiles have always lived there. They do not like to go to new places.
Another reason is that the conditions at the dacha are comfortable for snakes, or the neighboring plot is abandoned, there are a lot of piles of garbage and old wood.
The third reason is closely related to the second: perhaps there is a lot of food on your property that snakes like. A dovecote or a small pond with lots of frogs is a good bait for reptiles.
We fight humanely
To get rid of snakes in your dacha, the following steps will help.
1. Tidy up your dacha. Mow the grass, take out the trash, get rid of the old boards.
2. Start fighting rodents. Keep all food supplies out of their reach.
3. Fence the area. Do this around the perimeter and separately around the compost heap with fine-mesh netting.
4. Use vibrating repellers. They generate a powerful wave that is unpleasant for snakes.
