I want to keep rattle snakes from getting under a deck. Would this work.

yes i think it would work. i used it for plugging up holes in house under the siding. Worked good for me.

My best answer is no. First, mesh is soft, would you run it horizontal or vertical, only about 3 inches wide, would take "many" rolls to cover the space, and snakes would go through the overlaps.This stuff is to plug holes.

As long as you make it so they can't slither under it, they won't be getting threw it.

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!

I do not know i did not have snakes, just squirrles and it worked for them but had to be reapplied after watering or when it rained.

Effective enough for scaring birds and keeping them from messing on our deck... but not sure about your boat. We used the sizeable hole on the bottom to slide it onto a piece of pvc pipe as far up as it would go. Winds have never toppled it... i think this method 'could' possibly work on your boat.

We use ours outside under a 5' eave overhang along with the other type as described in my review. The do not get rained on or wet if that is your question. The combination is quite effective at getting rid of the bats and their droppings off our decks. We do however take them in each winter. Hope this helps.

I have a large back yard and put it around the fence line and bushes near the house every month. Snake issues have not reappeared.

I would think it would be ok, my snakes don't require anything over 75watt.

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.

I agree with the answer from Nicholas, below. I (an ex-herpetologist ) would go with galvanized hardware cloth. If for no other reason, plastic ages, gets brittle and breaks. But fortunately, I just deal with rabbits in the garden and not rattlesnakes.

I agree with the other answers. The trap itself can be used any time (if it's cold in the attic.. check and make sure the glue stays sticky.. but be careful... it's VERY sticky and unforgiving). It's success will really be a function of knowing where the snakes are traveling, and placing the trap where they will naturally crawl through it, such as up against the wall as another answer said. There is no "bait" or anything to actually attract the snake, that's why placement is so critical... good luck!

Apparently it repels all snakes, according to the label. It has repelled black snakes on my property, so it should work for garter snakes. Actually, both species serve an ecological purpose. I just don't like being surprised by black snakes on my porch, in my garage, and in my vegetable garden. Garter snakes feed on insects and frogs and are harmless. You didn't ask for all this information, though, did you? :-) However, yes, Sweeney's has a very sweet odor which repels snakes. I like the stuff.

Absolutely NOT for snake protection! I live in the southeast and encounter cottonmouth and rattlesnakes daily. I had to invest a little more for a pair of true snake-proof gaiters for this purpose. I also hike a lot in the mid to northern US in cooler temperatures and use the O-R pair for repelling snow, water, mud, along with briars & thorns. This is indeed a great pair of gaiters, but will NOT prevent snake bite.

Probably not. I got it to try and keep skunks raccoons, possums, and cats away, they are still coming around. Wish I could find something to keep them away

No, I don't think it would work. It helps the fight against pests, but it only helps the fight, it doesn't prevent them from coming in.

I think it ought to work. However, speaking from other experience I think you could do it simpler. Just use plastic standoffs like I used to use for my electric fence for horses and such. If there was interference from the fence just go higher with pieces of plastic pipe.

Yes it would, mostly if you had larger snakes. They make a smaller one that would be a lighter weight. Also, wear adequate footware because these are somewhat dangerous_

There are some gaiters that are thicker than these that would protect you better and I believe some are made just for that purpose. My personal opinion is I think these could deflect a snake bite but they're not made for that. You might be better off getting gaiters made for the purpose of protection against snake bites.
