How to keep snakes away from your house!

[TheTrapperGuy]

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!

Yes, don't like background music! It makes it much harder to hear really important information. On the other hand, thank you for your effort to educate us.

I appreciate the information you have provided. If I may make a suggestion, I think the volume of the music needs to be lowered. It’s a bit distracting.

Derek, great information. Thanks for all the points. The background music is somewhat distracting. If you can do without it, it will really help. Keep up the good work. Please discuss how to trap the snakes also.

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 have three fixed rescue cats on my 4 acres. They have a great hunting domain. Always finding dead birds, field mice, chip munks, squirrel, small rabbits at the door. I have found one dead copperhead in the yard. Cats, dogs, free range chickens take care of the snakes easily.

Found a snake in the chicken coop today I relocated him to heaven

Thanks for the info.... great tips and you saved me money! Didn't know snake away didn't work or that placing moth balls outside was against the law!

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'm so thankful I live in Michigan. 43 acres with a pond / swamp, woods, hay fields, gardens, small orchard, a creek bed, and lots of berry patches. After 12 years, I've seen maybe 6 small Garter snakes and nothing ever venomous.

I liked your video and will incorporate some of what you directed. NOTE: There is a background music/noise throughout your presentation that is very annoying. I only assume that it is intentional but most viewers can probably do without it.

Great information! Keep up the videos, they are helping people!! Glad I found you!! I live in the desert and have many snakes, tarantulas, coyotes, javalinas and much more, so any help is appreciated, thank you!!

[brazilsuburbandc]

Please drop the background music, other than that, great stuff!!!! Thank you for all of the info!!!

Thanks Derek. Your video is very informative.

Imagine my surprise when I watched a snake crawl up the side of our brick house. Didn't know it was possible.

Moth balls don’t work. I still found snake skin in my crawl space after doing so

Apart from the background music, good video

What is your opinion on sprinkling Cayenne pepper around your property to deter snakes ??

[Watcherrye]

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 .

Use white vinagre lemon juice and peppermint oil in a spray bottle I’m from Texas I use it in my huge yard all the time and my kids never see snakes I just got done mowing and no snakes as always
