My fear is that if I sprinkle this stuff, the snake will come into my house to avoid it. Is this a valid fear?

It works for me. I have it sprinkled around the house this late spring while not a sign of the gardener snakes yet, guess they are still in winter sleep. Then we didn't see them until the first pouring rain storm. After reapplied it, no sign of snakes again till another rain storm...

I bought it and it didn't work. I read that snakes don't even have a sense of smell. I think the best way to get rid of it is to have it trapped and removed.

I don't think the snakes will come into your home. They love to hide out and catch bugs and such.

It dosnt work. And snakes are not likely to cross anything that interferes with their sense of smell which is how they hunt their prey. Get moth balls and use alot around your perimeter - no guarantees even for that but in my limited experience, they work as well as wasting money on this stuff. You could also probably sprinkel lots of clove, cinnamon, herbs, pepper, jala[eno powder to fend them off. If you live in a poisonous snake area, ask an expert, which I am not. Just have grass & garden type snakes here but they are heart-stopping enough! Good luck!

Yes, but be careful of fumes or flakes ending up in your eyes! Also, if you have older or metal traps be careful because concentrated amounts of sodium hydroxide can eat trough age related thinning of pipes. I have used used many times but also with a snake as I have found a clog form near a hardening formation. The sodium will help with the clog now but the but the snake is insurance for the future.

I am afraid to try it for fear that it will get stuck in the door jamb which is what happened on my front door.

Snakes have very sensitive smell ability and it is the bad smell that repels them. Ask your lizards if they are repelled by bad smells. ;-)

I think you really have to find someone who isn't afraid. I'm terrified of snakes and couldn't imagine how to keep them out of the yard, but this little device really works. It really takes care of the problem, but getting rid of the snake requires that someone who isn't afraid remove it (and kill it humanely, if possible). I suppose you could just slide the glue trap out into a garbage bag, but that's a little closer than I'd want to be. If you're really afraid, you'd probably want to find someone else to do it. Hope that helps.

Hello, When I used the Snake-B-Gone, I just sprinkled the little pellets under tree's, bushes, along the property line. I would use it just like the pellets of the Snail's B'Gone, Hope I have helped and that all of your little slither s stay away. B

You sprinkle it around. It did nothing as far as I am concerned. The snakes still remained.

Put the product anywhere you think the snakes may show up, any time. It does not work while it is in the container. I have not seen a snake since scattering it around our back patio.

For snakes, I do not think it will do much damage. I cannot puncture skin. I would suggest an steel pellet gun with small co2 cartridge.

Ive only used on the outside fence, not on the inside. The dogs seemed fine with it as it has district smell. I actually liked it but I'm sure its not good for you. Ive only had one rattle snake since I used it, and two rodent snakes. Very small ones. Seems to help a little.

sorry...i used this for soap making. i would be too afraid to put it in the toilet, honestly.

Bah humbug to these alarmists. I use it in a metal bowl, and mix it with a metal spoon. WTF are they worried will happen? Nothing has, in my case. They don't seem to actually even know what the problems are with using metal to mix the clay. It's simply something they "heard". Don't be a wimp. I might even throw in some bleach too, just to kick it up a notch. Oh, and some ghost peppers. And some eye of newt too.

This was my fear when using this in the house, but we have not had any problem. After we put this material under the stove & dishwasher (did not want anything else to be able to access the material or anyone to know that we had to use it) the mice disappeared, we stopped seeing their droppings and never found a dead one. This is after months of trying get rid of them for months with traps, we would catch some, but there would always be more and we always found the droppings until we put this material out. We have been mouse free for a year now, knock on wood!! I highly recommend this stuff. This was my fear when using this in the house, but we have not had any problem.

Yes, sprinkle it where you do not want rabbits to eat. That is how it is used.

I cant see how a snake aould be abll to climb up past this baffle. I had a small squirell baffle first and my bluebird nestlings would never make it. Something was getting to them. Since putting up this raccoon baffle, nothing has bothered them. It is so large and long that nothing is able to get over it. A snake would only be able to go inside the baffle.

No, well not if you have the pop up stopper. I slid the snake right down on different sides of the drain and pulled out a significant amount of sludge. It worked the same in the sink too.

Might want to leave it on a surface that doesn't absorb the liquid, since the bait itself has is similar to that of a syrup. I'm sure something as simple as putting cardboard underneath the bait/trap would protect your floor if you were worried though
