    Not good for rainy weather

    By Jb on 07/08/2010

    While I believe the trap could work in theory it is not a good one for a rainy climate. There was a brief rain shower the afternoon I put it outside in the target area. The top of the trap got soggy and collapsed onto the glue part. This effectively ruined the trap. Perhaps if you made it out of a wax cardboard to repel the rain or made 2 different ones. This one for indoor use and a "hardier" one for outdoor use.

    Great product!

    By Randy on 10/16/2012

    Product arrived the day after placing the order! Great service. Very easy to set up! We had a snake in the attic of our home, placed the "Snake Guard" in place the day they arrived and BAM the very next day caught the snake in the trap!! NO MESS, NO FUSS, easy disposal. Great great product and great company to do business with!

    It worked the very first night.

    I had been trying to kill a copperhead snake which lived in a hole underneath my tractor shed for over a month. Each time he saw me approaching he would go back down the hole. Well, I ordered one of the Snake Guard Snake Traps and placed it right by the hole. The very next morning I found half of that copperhead hanging out of the box, it had trapped him just like the ad said. I would definitely recommend this to everyone.

    Snake Guard Snake Trap

    By Todd on 12/08/2010

    Verified Purchase

    It has a major flaw--being cardboard means that after one or two rains, it is totally worthless. I was very disappointed and threw it out after less than one week.

Q
How long does the Snake Guard Snake Trap work before the glue is ineffective?
A
The glue on the Snake Guard Snake Trap will work for as long as it remains sticky. High temperatures can melt the glue or freezing teperatures can make the glue too stiff and it will be ineffective. Dust and other debris that gets on the glue can also render it ineffective.

Q
Will the Snake Guard Snake Trap work in dark areas?

I have a snake that has somehow gotten into the crawl space beneath my home. The area is enclosed and dark all of the time. Will the trap work in this space. The instructions say that the snake will seek the dark space of the trap.

A
Snake Guard Snake Traps do offer a snake a dark area, but that is not the only reason they would enter the trap. Snakes also like small confined areas to hide and this trap would also offer them that. You should also place the trap directly in their travel path, so they naturally slither right into it. Place traps right up against and parallel to the wall near doors, vents, windows or other suspected entry/exit point.

Q
Can the Snake Guard Snake Trap be used more than once?
A

The Snake Guard Snake Trap can be used more than once, but it all depends on how much of the "sticky glue" is left after the snake has gotten stuck. Most people do not want to handle the snake, so they just throw the whole board out with the snake inside. If you don't mind handling the snake, you can use vegetable oil to get the snake off of the board where it is stuck. If there is still enough sticky parts on the board, then it can be used again.

Q
Does the Snake Guard Snake Trap have something on it that attracts the snake or not?
A

No, the Snake Guard Snake Trap does not contain an attractant. Snakes naturally want to enter dark confined areas and will readily go into the trap. Be sure that the traps are placed into the snakes travel path (parallel and directly against walls, on ledges, near doors or windows)
