6 plants that attract snakes + 4 plants that repel them: myth or science?

sulfurous odor of the plant makes the soil unappealing to snakes. Not 100% effective, but it does deter them. Marigold: Its roots secrete a substance called thiophene, which repels insects and worms in the soil. If there are no insects, there are no lizards, and therefore no snakes. Lemongrass: Its strong citronella scent repels mosquitoes, thus reducing insect populations. Wormwood: It’s very bitter and contains substances that repel many small animals. Important warning: Safety: “Snake Repellent” sprays and oils are 99% fraudulent. Snake Away and similar products don’t have EPA certification for effectiveness. The number one scientific solution: not the plant. It’s mowing the grass, removing clutter, and sealing holes, as I explained before. If you see a snake: don’t go near it. Close the door and call snake catchers. 70% of bites happen when people try to kill them. In short: the picture is meant to sell you the idea of ​​”just plant this plant.” But science says: snakes are stupid at smelling, but smart at hunting. They don’t look for scent; they look for prey. So instead of buying a “magical” plant, mow your grass and leave a 30cm clear strip by the wall. This is a 100% effective snake repellent. Do you have any of these plants at home and are you afraid they’ll attract snakes?
