20. Plant snake-repelling plants

Planting snake-repelling plants like marigolds, lemongrass, and garlic around your yard can help keep snakes away. These plants are easy to grow and maintain. Marigolds have a strong scent that snakes find unpleasant, lemongrass emits a citrusy odor that repels snakes, and garlic's strong smell can create a natural barrier. Combining these plants in strategic locations around your yard can create an effective, natural deterrent.
