How to keep snakes out of your house: 3 scientifically proven methods

house wall. Snakes don’t like to walk in exposed areas where they are visible to birds of prey. Keep stones and decorations away from walls. A very important safety warning: The “snake repellent” spray shown in the picture is 99% fake. There is no strong scientific evidence that it works. Snakes don’t have a nose as strong as a dog’s to be affected by the smell. It’s a waste of money. If you see a snake in your house: do not kill it and do not go near it. 70% of bites happen when people try to kill them. Close the door and call a snake catcher or the Civil Protection. How to tell if it’s venomous? In Morocco, this isn’t 100% reliable. Venomous snakes, like the horned viper, have a large triangular head and vertical eyes. But the best solution: consider every snake venomous until a specialist confirms it. In short: the picture is trying to sell you a “magic spray.” But science says: cleanliness + proper hygiene = real protection. The snake in the picture, a rat snake, is actually beneficial; it eats rats that carry diseases. Do you live in an area with many snakes? Or do you just want information for prevention?
