It's snake season in Australia. I've heard that spraying kerosene (yeah!) or lime around your property repels snakes. And also mothballs/naphthalene. But I've also heard that these are just old wives tales. Anyone got any other ideas on how to repel snakes? (Other than keeping your yard tidy).
Well, here we use a thing which when burnt produces smoke. And Snakes go far away after smelling it. But I don't know name of that thing. - Digital -

Good topic Kerosene I've been thinking about this lately too, we have a few resident black snakes on the property Although I haven't tried it (and don't think I would ) I've been told to use used kitty litter and spread it around the place, sounds odd, don't know if it works..something about the smell of cat urine ??? Where to get used kitty litter I've read abit about different plants, so tired a Rosemary Bush, it repeled the snakes from around the plant but now it just comes around the other side of the house so you'd have to plant alot. If you find something that works let me know
I have a lot of snakes around my property, on the edge of a forest. They are usually scared away just by the noise.
If you can't repel them with the falcon you've been training to catch squirrels, please stay away from airports..No need for those critters around them aeroplanes.
That's so scary, I've seen some snakes, but never in our yard or anything.. As for repellents, I really have no idea. Probably a scarecrow or something.
If they are poisonous, grab them and cut their heads off with a pocketknife. If they aren't poisonous, just let them be I suppose... unless they come in your house. Then cut their heads off too.
Just rent your house to a Chinese restaurant, they love snakes and I can guarantee that the snakes will be gone in a jiffy.
We actually have plenty of hawks and eagles around here. But that only makes me more concerned because there must be plenty for them (the birds) to eat (e.g snakes and mice). My neighbour has a magic shovel that he uses to remove snakes from his property: We've got some rather unpleasant snakes in AU, so I just assume that they're all venomous until I know otherwise. And there's no way in hell I'm getting close enough to use a pocket knife on one
