I truly don't mind snakes. They're gentle, shy, and prefer to keep to themselves. However, it's not always all that pleasant when you're gardening or hanging out on your back deck and a snake slithers right by your feet. If you're not a huge snake fan, not to worry. There are multiple ways to keep snakes away from your yard without using harsh chemicals or cruel methods. Here they are!
First, Understand Why Snakes Come to Your Yard
Snakes don't come to your yard to terrorize you. They come for three reasons:
Food – Rodents, insects, frogs, slugs, and other small prey
Shelter – Wood piles, rock piles, tall grass, dense shrubs
Water – Ponds, birdbaths, leaky faucets, standing water
Remove these attractants, and snakes will have little reason to stay.
