Unless you’ve chosen to put a snake in a clear 20-gallon terrarium, feed it vermin and let it out to slither around, you probably don’t want it in your house. A pet snake is one thing. But there’s just something super unsettling about a snake entering your humble abode, much like finding a cockroach hunting for crumbs in your kitchen in the middle of the night.
The reality is, most creatures, including snakes, want nothing to do with humans. It’s not about you when they find a reason and a way to enter your home. It’s just that they’re wild and curious, and usually hungry. Most North American species of snakes are harmless. While your desire to keep them out of your sight is warranted, it’s best to remain calm and rely on non-harmful tactics. Ahead, learn best practices for keeping snakes away from your yard and house.

How to Keep Snakes Away from Your Home
If you have snakes slithering into your yard (and sometimes your house), your first instinct may be to buy chemical repellent. Typically, though, that isn’t the safest method, since these repellents can be harmful to pets, people and the environment.
It’s best to stick to repellents designed specifically for snakes. Even with snake repellents, be sure to follow the directions exactly! A good one to try is Ortho Snake B Gon. Sprinkle it around your property every 30 days to keep snakes out of your yard and house. It’s made from essential oils and marketed as an ecologically-friendly option that will not harm humans, pets or plants.
