True! We put them around (and under) our shed...no snakes & we are in Florida! (We have woods all around us & have snakes in the yard occasionally) My in-laws have used them for years for snakes.

Scatter a few mothballs around your garden and "hey presto" no cats will take a dump in your roses.

Garlic bulbs work also. Garlic will also keep bats from coming into your house thru your attic if you simply throw a couple of the bulbs around in the rafters.

There are safer alternatives such as garlic oil, vinegar and sulfur (salt)

They do if you think they do! But there is no scientific proof. More of an old wives tale.
