Make your home and courtyard snake-proof, with these clever tricks to ward off snakes, and keep them away from your home

Tips to Make Your Home Snake-Proof: Snakes are a constant threat not only during the rainy season but also during the summer. In such a situation, the measures described here can be helpful in preventing snakes from entering your home and in repelling them.

Ways to Get Rid of Snakes: Snakes are very active during the summer season. This increases the risk of snakes entering homes. During this season, snakes seek out cool, easy-to-hunt areas. Due to the humidity and water present during this time, snakes may seek shelter in homes and gardens.

In such a situation, taking necessary preventive measures in advance reduces the risk of snake bite to a great extent. Here you can learn about natural and traditional methods of making the house snake-proof, which are also used by tribal people living near the forests.

Tribal Remedy to Drive Away Snakes:

Planting the Ghodbach plant around the house, its strong scent, keeps snakes away. Planting it around the house is considered beneficial. Tribals also use Mahua cake to repel snakes. If a snake enters the house, the smoke from burning Mahua cake helps drive them away. Additionally, planting the Ishwar Mool plant near the house reduces the likelihood of snakes returning.

Keep your surroundings clean

– Keep grass and bushes trimmed regularly
– Don't leave wood or junk lying around
– Don't leave pipes or hoses exposed
– Close any gaps under your house or shed

Eliminate hiding places.
If you have burrows or holes around your home, fill them with soil or gravel. These are the easiest places for snakes to hide. Often, you'll find holes in gardens that are actually created by rodents to roost during the summer, and snakes later arrive, sensing prey.

Plant snake repellent plants.

The scent of some common garden plants can also help keep snakes away. These include marigold lemongrass, snake plant, and garlic and onion plants.
