How to get rid of Snakes
Snakes are carnivorous reptiles, with elongated bodies, without limbs, which are part of the Serpentes suborder. To date, more than 20 snake families have been identified. They comprise about 500 genera and 3400 species. Their size can range from very small (10 centimetres) to very large (9 meters) and can be venomous or non-venomous. Snakes are widespread in most temperate areas of the globe.
The signs of snake infestation are:
- the skin left by them after the moulting process;
- finding nests with eggs;
- observation of faeces – their remains are usually liquid and white;
- snakes take refuge in hidden places, protected from the cold, such as sheds, piles of wood or rocks, boxes, ponds, and areas with high vegetation.
Snakes – Prevention methods
Prevention is key! Thus, the best thing that you can do to prevent the appearance of snakes, is to regularly mow the lawn and bushes, combat unwanted vegetation, clear the land of stored materials, and piles of wood/stones, in which snakes can easily shelter and especially, sealing cracks in the walls of buildings that can represent the access ways of the reptiles inside the house.
In addition, the elimination/removal of food sources, represented by rodents, frogs, fish, insects, snails/slugs or small animals, is also indicated.
Snakes – Controlling Methods
For the removal of snakes, it is recommended to use adhesive traps or repellents.
Adhesive traps work perfectly fine indoors, but can also be placed outdoors if used in conjunction with a poisoning station. The repellents will be used outdoors and have the role of forming a barrier of rejection due to the irritating smell.
Adhesive snake traps
Adhesive traps trap on the adhesive surface the reptiles that cross the area of action of the trap. The traps are placed as close as possible to the areas where the presence of snakes was detected, in order to attract them as quickly as possible. They can be placed in sheltered places, near walls or in corners, after furniture, in the basement, garage, car, etc.
Types of adhesive traps that we recommend:
These are cardboard or plastic boards covered with an adhesive that captures reptiles that pass over their surface. The traps are located in the areas where the presence of snakes was observed. When they reach the area of attraction of the trap, they will stick to the adhesive in its component. Subsequently, the traps are removed together with the snake caught in the adhesive.

Adhesive traps work best together with special reptile poisoning stations. This is why it is advisable to place them inside as these have the role of protecting them from external environmental conditions (dust, humidity). At the same time, their role is to avoid catching pets in the adhesive. They can be placed both inside and outside, near the walls of buildings, or on the path of snakes to have higher efficiency.
Recommended bait stations:
The function of bait stations is to protect the bait or traps from external influences and to prevent contact of non-target animals with dangerous materials/traps. They do not replace adhesive traps and do not lock reptiles inside the trap. They can be made of plastic.

Repellents
The repellents are used strictly for the exterior for the sole purpose of forming a barrier around the treated area.
The granules can be applied by spreading on the area to be protected or as a marginal treatment, around the respective area, in the form of strips of different widths.
Use each repellent in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Recommended repellents
Repellents are products used to block the reptile’s access to a specific area. The repellents create olfactory barriers or create unpleasant sensations for the target reptiles, thereby deterring them and preventing them from entering certain areas.

A number of measures can be taken against snakes to prevent them from appearing in a certain area. These measures consist of cutting the bushes, periodically mowing the lawn, removing piles of wood and compost, sealing cracks/crevices in the building, and removing food sources. If snakes are found in a certain area, it is recommended to use adhesive traps and olfactory repellents to remove them.
* If it is confirmed that the snake species found is venomous, it is strongly advisable to consult a specialist for the safe removal of the snake.
