4. Install Snake-Proof Fencing
Use fine mesh or solid barriers (1/4-inch holes or smaller).
Bury fencing 6 inches deep – Prevents burrowing.
Angle fencing outward – Makes climbing harder.
. Best for: Chicken coops, gardens, or high-risk areas.
5. Get Rid of Standing Water
Fix leaky hoses & drains – Snakes drink and hunt near water.
Remove birdbaths or ponds (or keep them elevated).

Encourage foxes, raccoons, or birds of prey (they eat snakes).
Outdoor cats – Help deter small snakes.

Pine cones, eggshells, or sharp gravel – Uncomfortable for snakes to slither on.
Cactus plants near borders – Acts as a natural barrier.

Check sheds, basements, and crawl spaces for snake activity.
Seal gaps under doors, garages, and decks.
What NOT to Do
Don’t use mothballs – Toxic to pets & kids.
Avoid glue traps – Cruel and ineffective.
Never kill non-venomous snakes – They help control pests!
. Final Verdict: Prevention is Key!
By making your yard less inviting, you can naturally deter snakes without harsh chemicals.
