Answer 3

If you do not have any chicken coops or open fish tanks near your home, fine. They make good food for the snakes. Clear out the immediate area around your mobile home. Once the snakes know that an area is being used by the humans, they keep clear unless they are tempted by food like what I mentioned above.

Also I have heard that smattering crushed garlic around the house outside, will keep the snakes and any reptiles or crawling insects at bay.

Hope this works for you.

All the best.

We used mothballs under the porches and rocks. My grandfather was an old Indian, and he used to actually kill a snake and drag it bleeding around the perimeter of the house and barn. We also kept a black snake, some call them bull snakes I think, in the barn. He (she?) kept the mice, rats, and other snakes out. My mother's garden shed sat up on bricks, and my father put broken glass along the underside edges of it as well as the mothballs. They lived in SE Oklahoma, and we had our share of the same snakes you do. There isn't anything I know of that is perfect, but a combination of things seems to do a lot to help. Guinea hens, geese and pigs tend to discourage snakes as well as dogs and some cats. The larger breed chickens will go after small snakes, but generally they just raise a fuss if they find one. Mostly you want to do what you can not to offer any nice hidey holes for them, and keep the rodents under control. If there's no place to hide and nothing to eat, they have no reason to stay around. Lots of mice will mean lots of snakes, there's no other way around it. Keep any animal feed stored in bins without mouse access, and don't leave the food bowls laying out full. Don't have shrubs and low growing greenery up close to the house, and avoid having greenery that creates cool shady spots as much as possible. And get into the habit of walking hard, watching where you walk, and stirring up tall grass with a stick before you walk into it. You can try lots of things to discourage them, but there is always the one that seems tolerant to it all. So no matter what you do, don't ever think or convince yourself otherwise.

Answer 5

Get a cat -they tend to really spook snakes. I have also heard about pouring some kind of sandy substance around area, I'm sorry I can't remember what the name is. I have actually done it before. Be especially careful during times it is very hot and dry as snakes gravitate toward water. Keep piles of debris away from your house and that includes wood. They love to sun on top of wood. Remember, they roam around long after the weather gets cooler.

Answer 6

Excluding or building them out would be the best solution. A product called snake away is sold at most DIY pest control stores or the internet. It's basically napthalene( or powdered mothballs) and must be reapplied if it rains. Also not a great idea if there are asthma sufferers.

Answer 7

Snakes are looking for shelter from other predators. You need to eliminate the shelters. Eliminate all hiding places, screen off vents or other areas they can slither into. You will need to skirt your mobile home tightly. Eliminate trash around the yard. Keep grass mowed.

Answer 8

Get a pig. The pig will eat the snakes

Answer 9
