Snake A Way 4 lbs. should be applied alone, only in a band along the edges of your property as directed on the product label. We would not recommend mxing in with a grass fertilizer that would be broadcasted across a larger area.
Snake Away is only labeled for use on snakes. To repel cats, we would recommend using a product like Shake-Away Coyote/Fox Urine Granules For Domestic Cat Repellent..
Per the product label, Do not use Snake A Way at sites where snakes are believed to be already present as the deterrent effects of the product might tend to confine snakes to the treated areas. Depending on where the snake is located, you can apply a band of granules making sure to leave a wide enough opening for the snake to leave. For example, you would only treat 3 sides of the lawn or garden area to allow a wide enough space for the snake to leave.
Per the product label, Snake A Way will repel rattlesnakes (Genus Crotalus) and checkered garter (Thamnophis Marcianus). While the product might deter other types of snakes as well, it is not expected to consistently repel snakes of the following types: corn snakes and other rat snakes (Genus Elaphe); and “moccasin” snakes such as cottonmouths and copperheads (Genus Agkistrodon).
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.

According to the manufacturer Snake A Way 4 lbs. works for the majority of snake species due to how it repels them. Snakes have what is called a Jacobson’s organ, which is a patch of sensory cells within the main nasal chamber that detects heavy moisture-borne odor particles. The smell of the ingredients in this product effect that organ causing snakes to become disoriented and go away from the smell. When using this product it is very important to remember to NOT apply products where snakes are currently to prevent any potential harm. This product should be applied in areas where snakes have been previously or areas you want to keep them out of.
Snake A Way is meant for use outside around the home, since the snakes natural environment is outside. The formula repels rodents through a naturally powerful sensory overload so it has a very strong odor. For control of snakes indoors we would recommend the Cahaba Snake Trap.

The smell of Snake Away can be quite strong at first and is needed to do its job. The smell should start to fade after a few days outdoors. The only way to eliminate it quickly would be to physically remove the repellent.
