7. Snakes and sulfur don't mix

Sulfur is another smell that snakes hate. Spread powdered sulfur around areas where you've seen snakes. Be careful when applying it, as sulfur can be irritating. This method works best when the sulfur stays dry. Sulfur disrupts the snake's sensory organs, causing discomfort and driving them away from the treated area.

After applying sulfur around your property to deter snakes, reinforce this barrier with HARRIS Diatomaceous Earth, which can also help to keep other crawling pests at bay effectively.
