Natural DIY Snake Repellents for Your Backyard

3. Lime and Chili, Hold the Alcohol

A mix of lime juice and hot pepper extract can keep snakes at bay. Mix equal parts of lime juice and hot pepper extract with a gallon of water. Spray this mixture around the edges of your property. The spicy smell will make snakes think twice before entering your yard. This method is particularly useful because the strong scent of chili and the acidity of lime create an unpleasant environment for snakes, without posing any harm to plants or other wildlife.
