Though snakes prefer staying outdoors, they sometimes find their way into our homes and businesses, creating an understandable cause for concern. From garter snakes to more intimidating species like rattlesnakes, these creatures can become defensive when threatened, making professional expertise valuable for your peace of mind.
DIY snake deterrents (such as sulfur or essential oils) often disappoint and can waste time and money. Commercial sprays and granules frequently fail to deliver lasting results. That’s why reaching out to skilled snake removal professionals is paramount.
Whether you’re dealing with venomous varieties, like copperheads and coral snakes, or harmless species that still cause alarm, encountering a snake on your property calls for a prompt response. Many snakes aren’t aggressive, but they will defend themselves when cornered.
At Xceptional Wildlife Removal, we’re equipped with the knowledge and tools necessary to keep your property snake-free throughout the year. Our approach addresses the immediate issue while fostering an environment that deters future visitations.
DIY Deterrents vs Expert Snake Management
Property owners frequently struggle with ineffective DIY remedies, wasting resources on products with disappointing outcomes. While natural approaches might seem appealing, they require constant maintenance and rarely provide complete protection.
Garden Plants That May Discourage Snakes
Certain vegetation releases strong scents that snakes find unpleasant. Popular choices include marigolds, lemongrass, and rosemary. Additional options include:
- Garlic
- Onion
- Lavender
- Mint
- Fennel
- Thyme
While these plants might discourage some snakes from entering certain areas, they’re not a foolproof solution. Plus, dense vegetation can actually create perfect snake hiding spots.

Complete Snake Management: Detection, Removal, & Long-Term Prevention
When snakes have already established themselves on your property, deterrents alone won’t solve the problem. Physical removal becomes necessary, and spotting one snake might indicate a nearby nest.
Attempting DIY removal poses serious risks, particularly with venomous species. Homemade traps rarely work effectively, as snakes often bypass them or break free from weak containment. Professional intervention ensures thorough, safe removal.
Xceptional Wildlife Removal wildlife experts use ethical control measures to capture snakes with minimal stress. After removal, we relocate them to appropriate natural habitats away from residential and commercial areas.
What Really Works to Deter Snakes?
The truth about snake control? Making your environment less attractive to snakes provides the best long-term results. It beats any spray or gadget.
So skip the gimmicky products and focus on real solutions. Eliminate what attracts them: control rodent populations, clear away debris, and block easy access points.
Steps to Protect Your Property
Follow these proven strategies:
- Create physical barriers using proper fencing (minimum three feet tall).
- Address rodent problems that attract snakes.
- Clear away debris piles, overgrown areas, stone walls with openings, and wood stacks.
