Replanting snake-repellent plants to protect your family. (Page 2 ) | August 1, 2025

2. Marigold

These bright orange and yellow flowers both bring warmth to your yard and effectively repel snakes and other pests. They emit a strong, pungent smell caused by a phototoxic compound called sulfenyl, which snakes find highly unpleasant.

3. Kudzu Vine

This is another plant known for its snake-repelling properties.

4. Lemongrass

Lemongrass is a perennial grass that grows in clumps, reaching heights of 0.8 to 1 meter. Its long, narrow leaves resemble rice leaves, with rough surfaces on both sides. When peeled, it emits a refreshing lemon fragrance. The rhizomes are white or slightly purple. Lemongrass is commonly grown across the country, often in home gardens.

Lemongrass is a familiar ingredient in many households, with its leaves also used for steaming to relieve colds, treat fevers, and more.
However, planting a clump of this versatile plant in your garden or in pots on your balcony or terrace serves another purpose: it acts as a natural snake repellent.

5. Snake Plant

The snake plant, also known as viper’s bowstring, tiger’s tail, or mother-in-law’s tongue, is a hardy succulent with exceptional resilience. It thrives in hot, dry conditions and can survive in low-light environments for extended periods.

Snake plants are popular indoor choices because of their low maintenance, durability, and elegant appearance. More importantly, they offer significant benefits such as air purification and mood enhancement.
