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.
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.

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
