Safer Brand Snake Shield Snake Repellent

We do not have a serious snake problem, but I do not like opening the garden shed and seeing a garter snake going scurrying to hide! Last summer a Black Racer decided to move closer to our house to try to get to the birds nesting in a hanging basket of flowers. When I saw it zip under one of my shrubs to hide when I came out, I bought this and sprinkled it around the shrubs. The Racer quickly left and I did not see it again during the summer. At the end of the summer, I sprinkled some inside and at the doorway of my garden shed. I did that again this year in the early summer, and I did not see any snakes there. However, my nephew was told by a professional who came to try to rid his yard of Copperheads that the problem that comes from using a snake-away product is that if homeowners try to encircle their yards with it as a preventive measure, any snakes already inside the yard will not leave it. I guess you just have to decide what is best in your situation.

Had several snakes in and around my yard. Has a strong odour when you put it out. Which is what it should do. It came a pretty heavy rain not long after putting it out, and I was afraid I had wasted the two bags that I bought, but so far so good. Still getting a random wift of it even after several hard rains. Will get more after the rain settles just to make sure.

This stuff worked wonders helping me rid garter snakes out of my mom's backyard. The stuff smells good to humans but snakes hate it. Just be careful not to apply if there's any rain in the short-term forecast as it makes the stuff worthless. BUT, if there isn't any rain, this stuff is great!

this product is really good, I live in a ranch and last year a saw a lot of rattle snake, this year I used this product and haven't see any since

Ok but didn’t keep them out of my garage.

I live in the country where rattlesnakes are abundant. As is normal, the beginning of warm weather last year saw my first rattlesnake. I had heard about this product so decided to give it a try. I sprinkled these granules around the perimeter of my home area as directed and re-sprinkled each month throughout last summer. From that point on I had absolutely no more rattlesnakes! Now I've got plenty of this product on hand and am ready for this coming summer. Rattlesnakes? Terrifying. Snake Shield? A must to keep them away.

Seriously, it doesn't work. Save your money and invest in fine mesh chicken wire and zip ties! Use vinegar to wash away any signs of snake food (mice, squirrels, etc.). Remove any low lying vegetation where snakes can hide. We live in AZ, and yes, rattlesnakes are common in our neighborhood. We maintain our yard so snakes cannot hide easily. We had regular chicken wire around all access points in our yard, but some snakes find their way in. (It's a big yard next to open desert.) Bring in the SNAKE SHIELD! We figured it would help keep snakes out as an extra precaution. 3 BAGS later and two weeks later... Rattlesnake was on our back patio and bit our dog's face. Dog is fine, thankfully, but it cost $2,500 in vet bills ($500 for each vial of antivenin X 2, plus massive painkillers), plus time off from work. But the snake had to go over a nice thick line of SNAKE GUARD to get inside. Note we did two rounds of Snake Guard outside that particular area. Did not make a lick of difference to that snake. We ended up just buying a ton more chicken wire (not pretty) and resealing the yard.

We were at a loss of what to do with the coral snakes we kept seeing and having two pups to protect. We even saw a coral in December here in Texas. Snake Shield really seems to keep them away. Super grateful for this product, my wife was growing tired of hacking coral snakes with a hoe.
