On the outskirts of the city and in the suburban areas, the invasion of snakes can become a real calamity. Most often for the first time you can meet with them in the early spring, when these reptiles, waking up from the hibernation, are going to make egg laying and look for a suitable place for the nest. Let's find out how to get rid of snakes forever on your dacha site, because they pose a serious threat to human life.
Are all the snakes dangerous?
In our latitudes on private plots, four types of creeping reptiles - copper coins, stags, snakes and vipers - are often found. Only the bite of the latter causes a person to lose the central nervous system and even death. The other three species are quite harmless, but they can also bite. Although their saliva does not contain any poison, an infection can get through the wound, which means that it is also necessary to deal with such uninvited guests.
How to scare off snakes from the site?
The fight against snakes in the suburban area can be both aggressive and sparing. The latter option is suitable for lovers of wildlife, who do not want to exterminate its representatives, but only, to drive them away from their garden, having got rid of the unpleasant neighborhood.
An effective means of combating snakes in the suburban area is, above all, noise. Yes, yes, it is the violation of silence that is very unpleasant to creeping creeps. In places where all sorts of ratchets are located, snakes can not safely grow their offspring, and leave in search of quieter places.

It is noticed that they like to live in dense thickets, which means that if you regularly carry out sanitary work on the extermination of the grass, the snakes will go looking for a more cozy place.
Alternative methods of combating snakes

In the bowl, instead of milk, they pour wine or beer and, as the hedgehog rests on the hot drink, he himself goes in search of the snake and its nests.
But the recommended "fragrant" methods, such as unfolding rags soaked in solidol or planting garlic in large quantities, often do not work. Maybe,
Chemical from snakes on the site
