Looking for a solution to repel snakes found inside your house. Some of the experts say try using ammonia or mothballs for this purpose. Results generated from the use of ammonia and mothball varies from study to study.
People often try to repel snakes found in their house or nearby area by using different chemical substances. Most of the people think this is the only solution for keeping them away but in some cases the situation tends to show opposite results. Not all types of snakes can repel by the use of ammonia or mothball. Due to this reason, the wild life experts tend to avoid using ammonia or mothballs.
Mothball is also dangerous for our self because when it is exposed with the air, it becomes a gas and hence its toxic smell creates problems for the human beings such as dizziness, headache, breathing problems, and lung or eye irritation. Rather than having any effect on the animal it affects the human beings.
However, by the use of ammonia you can harm yourself. This is an unethical way of removing or killing the snakes as ammonia is dangerous for the animal. This is a poisonous way of repelling the snakes.
Other ways of repelling the snakes
Use of bitter kola i.e. garcinia kola will repel the snake easily as the smell of garcinia kola is not up to the mark and makes the snake quite uncomfortable to live in that specific place. Ensure that the screen or house is properly sealed from each corner. Snakes can climb the walls or roof so check them for some hangings. Snakes are attracted toward the trash bins. Keeping them away from your community is also helpful. This way it will not find any shelter for staying in that place.
