4. Fend off snakes with vinegar

Snakes don't like the smell of vinegar. To make a vinegar spray, mix a gallon of white vinegar with a cup of salt and two tablespoons of dish soap. Shake it up and spray it around areas where snakes like to hide. This mix is safe for the environment and will help keep snakes away. Vinegar is effective because its strong acidity disrupts the sensory receptors of snakes, making them uncomfortable and encouraging them to leave the area.
