8. Apply ammonia with caution

Ammonia has a strong smell that repels snakes, but it is very toxic. Soak rags in ammonia and place them in unsealed plastic bags. Put these bags around areas where snakes might hide. Make sure to keep children and pets away from these areas. Ammonia's pungent odor is highly offensive to snakes, making it an effective yet hazardous repellent.
