Snake Repellant
| First off, repellant is in fact spelled with a third "e", and not an "a". However, it's a very commonly misspelled word, so I have dedicated this page to snake repellant, with an "a". Regardless of the spelling, it's important to understand that there's really no effective repellant of snakes. Yes, snakes do have a very good sense of smell, and they smell by flicking their tongues and tasting the air with what is called the Jacobson's Organ. However, there's no smell that will make them turn tail and slither away. Many repellants are sold, yes, however, in my several years as a wildlife removal professional, I've tested every single one I've ever found available, both for sale online and in stores, and none have worked. A very common snake repellant sold uses a mixture of napthalene (mothball flakes) and sulphur. Other repellants use a lot of sulphur, or even other ingredients like animal urine or hot powder. I've tested these extensively, both in the field, often involving snake dens, and with my own pet snakes, and none of them have affected snake movement in the slightest. It's tempting to believe that we can just sprinkle or spray a potion on the ground and that it'll keep snakes at bay, however these products are no more likely to keep

snakes away than they are at keeping you away. The only repellent that I've ever tried and which makes any sense, is the use of liquid Kingsnake musk. Kingsnakes feed exclusively on other snakes, and thus the scent of a kingsnake may keep certain snakes away. In the photo above, my friend is applying this repellent. However, it's very rare and expensive, and I don't think it ever worked terribly well. Snake prevention and trapping are really the better options.
