  • Asked by Jerry from Paducah
    08/14/2017
    Q
    Can you use Snake Away where a snake is already present?
    A

    When using a repellent such as Snake Away, you want to think of the application as a barrier that snakes will not cross. You can use repellents to move snakes from one area to another, but if, for instance, you make a barrier around a property with snakes on the inside, then you are effectively keeping them inside that area.

  • Asked by Julie from Baytown
    07/21/2017
    Q
    Will Snake Away get a snake out of the inside of my car?
    A

    Neither Snake Away nor any other snake repellent should be used inside your car for any reason. If you suspect a snake is in your car you will need to use glue boards in your car along floor boards and under seats so that as it crawls around it gets stuck on the glueboard. Once stuck, you can either use olive oil or vegetable oil to rub on the snakes body to release it, or dispose of it any other way you deem necessary.

    Q
    How to get rid of a snake living in your house's framework?
    I saw a 3 to 4 foot snake, about 3 inches in diameter slithering from between my house's hardiplank exterior siding and the foundation. Obviously, it is living in the house's framework. If I use that Snake Away while the snake in in the framework, won't it just stay inside the framework and die, causing it to rot and possibly start making the house stink? Plus, a dead snake may bring in ants. Please advise. Thank you.
    A

    We have a great guide here for "How to Get Rid of Snakes" that might help.  When using Snake Away you apply first to only 3 sides of the area you want to keep them out so that they have an exit. Then apply to the 4th side.  When snakes are often found on a property it is usually indicative of a high rodent population. If you control the rodents on your property, you can limit the snakes as well as they will have to search elsewhere for food. Please review our rat control guide and our mouse control guide to learn how to control these rodents on your property

  • Asked by Loren from Alsip, Il
    05/26/2015
    Q
    I have a large yard...if I put this around three sides of the fence, will the snakes exit out the open side?
    I want them to go back to the neighbor's house where they came from. I am afraid if I put this around the entire perimeter of our yard, they will be "trapped" in the area. We have over 10 garden snakes just in the backyard alone and one got into our home over the weekend ( came in through a small opening in the wall ). We are afraid we have an infestation, again from the neighbor's yard ( rotting wooden shed, overgrown lawn and waist high weeds ). Any help or suggestions you may have will be greatly appreciated!
    A
    If you place the Snake Away on three sides and leave an area for them to exit that would be better then placing a full perimeter treatment. Applying on all sides could keep them inside the area.

  • Asked by Tres from Laurel Springs, Nc

    Q
    I've found a snake skin above our drop ceiling between the basement and the main floor.
    Is a glue board our best option to rid the house of the snake and then use Snake away? Don't really want to trap it in the house...Mountains of NC
    A
    Yes, indoors glueboards would be the best option to trap the snake. The MaxCatch works fantastic. You could use a Snake Away repellent around 3 sides of the outside perimeter of the structure. It is best to leave an area open that the snake can leave.
