In are area we have rattlers and have use extra hot chile powder, we aoak the dry powder (chile powder) and sprinkle it around the home, wood piles, shacks. Is seen to work well, even if you find burrow or rat holes. You sprinkle the chile around the opening. Geena

Professional nuisance wildlife control guy here. I saw one of my snake videos was get suggested from this video and had to check it out. I usually roll my eyes before I even watch a video with this title because 90% of videos like this are nonsense advice. I LOVE THIS VIDEO! This is literally the same advice I give my customers to lessen the amount of snakes from their property. Same advice for any species of fauna. Subtract what attracts them. I tell my customers that if repellents worked... I would be out of a job. Derek is the real deal and gives great advice for snakes. Keep putting out videos!

I came home and before pulling into my garage there was a very long black racer challenging me to enter. Then it disappeared under heavy duty shelving down the side of the interior. I sent 10 or so mothers balls under the shelf and out came not only mom, but an entire clutch of small hatchlings about 18 inches each. Lost count at 20. It was so frightening. I left the moth balls in place for several months as it is also my laundry area. Sealed up all the entry points I could find and so far so good 10 years later.

I live in Florida and had bad issues with snakes in my garage. I tried Snake Away....put it all over garage and then used remaining bag to plug corner of garage where I always found them. So I had Snake Away on the floor and the half full bag on top of the snake away. And I found a snake curled up on top of the bag of snake away. 100% true story. BTW ended up solving issue by finding crack they entered through and plugged with concrete from outside in. It is amazing how little space they can navigate through.

I am also a Floridian, AND looking for snake help! Lol Glad to find your channel.

Thanks Derek for caring enough about the snakes to help them ! I actually like snakes and have had several in and around the house = happily ~ none that were poisonous ~ and we usually move them to where they're happier and safer (from cars / dogs / even curious cats!) I'd rather they didn't ever get inside (usually small and young ~ looking for peaceful shade !) We're on the edge of the forest and have had deer, bears, raccoons, woodchucks, foxes, coyotes and whatever else lives nearby = in the yard ! I carefully check all directions before 'walking out '!

Thank you! This was very helpful!

put golf balls and marbles around in groups looking like nesting. The snake eats them and can't expel them and kills them. Sling shots and pellet guns work well as well as hoes to whack em with. I know he wants to save the snakes, I don't .

We just moved into a house that has a nature preserve park behind us. We live in Columbus Ohio. My uncle saw a long brown one (side of house) 2 weeks ago and a small silver-ish one today front yard. Our basement is completely refinished and very cold. I love it that way and our bedroom is down there. Do snakes get in basements/inside the house? I am sure I’d have a heart attack if I had one in our house.

Heck yes! I’m watched this from Yulee. I’m thankful for your dispelling of the mothball and snake-away approaches. I’ve had snakes more problematic in the last two years, and it is likely because of both access to water puddling, and a few places in the yard that provided a decent hiding place. Cleared them up and am waiting to see how it goes this year. So far, so good. Question: Have you ever seen a snake held up between a wall and mini storage shed? That’s the only spot I’m concerned about now.

Thank you for the proper and legal solution to snakes near homes.

Apart from the background music , good video

Your AC unit looks just like mine. Right down to the PVC drain pipe lol. Last year is where a King snake decided to stick his head out when I was cutting grass. I bout jumped off the mow 😂

Glad that I found your video. I`m planning to move to Interlachen, and aware that there could be snakes out in the rural area I`m eyeing. I want to be wise, so I`m seeking ways to protect myself and my grandkids.

Put out a BLACK HOSE each evening. ONLY thing that worked like for me. Move it inside during day; snakes aren’t stupid. They’re also solo animals. If they see another snake, they will steer clear. The hose looks like a snake - they steer clear.

Put down Sulfur all over yard and under house

Hi Derek, Thanks so much for the video. We have a small Koi pond in our backyard also a chicken coop with only two hens. Last year we saw one snake but this year I have seen three already. Online, people mentioned about "sulfur, vinegar, cinnamon, smoke and spice, and foul, bitter, and ammonia-like scents" keep snakes away. Can I get your opinion on these? Thanks so much.

The only way to truly not have snakes is to move to Antarctica!

I agree with you. Unfortunately, I live next to a pond and I have thousands of frogs that live all around me, which in turn attracts copperhead snakes. I hate killing any animal at all but I have dogs and cats that I have to protect so I am forced to kill them when I come upon one. I almost stepped on one this evening and that's why I was looking up the subject. My next stop is to go yo amazon and purchase snake boots. Thanks for the video.

Derek, Where in Florida do you live? I live in Sarasota area. Would like to invite you to survey my perimeter.

In the last few years they cut down 150 acres of woods across the road from my house, to build 2 warehouses, making my house "the new woods." Drainage is also a problem over here as the property next to mine is very low and turns into a rather large pond whenever it rains. The snakes LOVE my basement because it's warm and out of the elements. I have professional landscapers cut my grass regularly. The snakes love the warm concrete of my foundation. I don't mind finding one in my basement once in a while ( once a week ) but I've actually caught one upstairs right smack dab in the middle of my living room. Once one of them was in my bed. I thought maybe I brought him upstairs in the laundry basket. I just don't know what to do. I'm dealing with ants too. It's definitely the woods. thank God they're only garden snakes. I live in Buffalo, Ny.

Eliminate bugs from the yard. Granulated insect killer spread over the yard and especially where leaves accumulate reduces food sources for frogs and other small animals that in turn are preyed on by snakes.

I did have a black racer in my front flower bed for 6 yrs. Only saw him sunbathing once and several sheds. But the city dug up the 6"pvc water pipe and laid 8" iron pipe.

Also you will want to use a respiratory if you go in to the building or leave the door open to vent out the ammonia. also you can use peppermint in your buildings because mice do not like the smell of peppermint no mice no food for the snakes.
