Fix the holes. If you see snakes in your yard and are worried about how to keep them out, it is best to find and fix holes in your foundations, garages or screen doors. Inspect these areas thoroughly, and if you find any holes, no matter how small, you must fix them immediately. Even the small coin holes are large enough for some species of striped snakes to slip through.

• In addition to creating an entrance to the house, holes or cracks in the foundation provide excellent hiding places for snakes.

Install anti-solid fence. The effectiveness of anti-snake fences may depend on the type of snakes that live in your area and how they move, but there are specialized fences that have been proven to be effective against many types of snakes. Anti-solid fences usually follow 3 main types: plastic sheet, wire mesh or mesh fence. Regardless of the structure, the fence must be embedded deep in the ground and recline to prevent snakes from passing under or climbing over the fence.

• It may not be practical to install fences that surround the entire garden in this way. Instead, consider fence some areas where children or pets often hang out.
• You should consider installing similar fences around any building in a courtyard built high above the ground. That way the snake won't hide underneath.

Create vibrating motions. If you've ever seen snakes in your garden or yard and suspect that some are still hiding, run a lawn mower or tiller around the garden. The purpose here is not to kill the snakes but just to drive them away. The machine-generated vibration is often enough to warn and scare away many species of snakes, especially conventional striped snakes.

• While it won't be permanently deterring snakes, if you need to do something in the garden this should be enough to keep them away long enough to work.

Walk carefully. Many species of snakes, such as rattlesnakes, blend colors into their surroundings. Look at the road as you go; You can spot and avoid snakes encounter situations. Pay special attention when you have to pass rocks or fallen trees. Both are hiding places for many species of snakes. If you need to get past objects on the ground, step up, then step down instead of just stepping over. This way, you have the ability to look around to make sure no snakes are lurking nearby.

• Avoid lifting rocks or trees while on a trail. This action may stir some snake that might lurk below and provoke them to attack.
• If you need to grab something while hiking, such as a rock or tree surface, take a careful look at where you rest your hands.

Carefully choose a picnic time. Snakes are cold-blooded, meaning they cannot regulate their body temperature like humans do. They must be in the sun to warm their bodies and avoid the sun when they want to cool down. Consequently, snakes are more active in warm weather. If you are really concerned about snakes on your way, you should plan to go hiking during cool autumn and winter weather. advertisement
