September 2, 201114 yr Is there any chamicals that i can spray round my house that is safe for humans that can deter sname from entering my house or compound. Also if there is a chemical is it dangerous for dogs or cats or other pets. any info would be great cheers ps. my reasons are that i worry that when my baby is sleeping that one could sneak in an snap. The baby could not even walk away even if it did know that it was a dangerous animal cheers
September 2, 201114 yr keep your grass cut, trim any trees in the yard so that they aren't touching your house, get a subwoofer and play some funkadelic music and you'll be alright. i've got a few kids and i'm more concerned about the chemicals. if you are really really concerned, get yourself a poodle or other lap dog like the ones that thai's seem to think is mandatory for every motorbike ride and they'll protect your yard for sure. i just had a snake in my yard for the first time in years yesterday. tried to take up residence in my engine compartment and after a brief sojourn on my hood when i left yesterday has now relocated to the side of the road in ban tai somewhere.
September 2, 201114 yr get a cat, i have 2 stray cats that patrol, and they will chase away or eat the snake get yourself a poodle or other lap dog like the ones that thai's seem to think is mandatory for every motorbike ride and they'll protect your yard for sure. they arnt that helpful lol
September 2, 201114 yr Mix 2 cups of sulfur, 1 cup of moth ball flakes and ½ cup crushed red pepper. Sprinkle this in a thick line around the perimeter of your yard, garden, outbuildings and home. Replace every 30 days or following wet weather. You can buy it in the pharmacy by the kg. Good luck.

September 2, 201114 yr I have been told that planting aloa vera deters snakes. (It also keeps your skin soft, and sooths sunburn ) The cobras near my place always give the aloa vera a wide berth! Unfortunately I still see them on the road.

Unfortunately I still see them on the road. hmmm.... never heard of Aloe Vera deterring snakes, I have a few plants around, ... perhaps that is why I don't see many snakes around my house??? ... but the locals say that Lemon Grass is supposed to work ... I have that too... I'd say on average I see two or three smallish cobras a year.... and the odd Rat snake.... Sometimes pythons make their way to the neigbours chickens.... that's not fun! ..... Gets them in a bit of a flutter!
September 3, 201114 yr I have for many years used Naphthalene Balls on my doorsteps. It keep the snakes and other reptiels away. Yoy can by it cheap in Tesco Lutus.
September 3, 201114 yr mothballs around the perimeter of your house, some people say their dogs eat them but I guess mine aren't that stupid as they haven't ever touched them. Cobras don't climb so if your house is up on stilts you are safe and most pythons won't tangle with a person much less a tiny little dog like a chihuahua, suspect our Isaan friends working on Samui have ensured there isn't a large snake population left.
September 3, 201114 yr i DIDN'T ABOUT SNAKES WILL HAVE TO WARN THE WIFE PMSL don't sunbath under trees near the beach, the odd snake falls down from time to time that depends if the wife starts playing up and i say nowt lol but cheers for the up

September 5, 201114 yr Yoy can easily by it at Tesco Lutus or Big C. Didn't see them yesterday - might have been hidden? Anyway, Makro had them this morning, 2 big bags for about THB 140 I think. Very clear label saying naphthalene. Look like those white things you have in urinals!

September 7, 201114 yr Hi, Hate to bring this up so far into the discussion, but there are some serious health risks associated with Naphthalene. Especially if the toddler eats them. As a more middle of the road source, I've included a link to Wikipedia. Other web pages will be more alarming. Eating them is the worst, but the fumes are also a cause for concern. Wikipedia suggests using the more natural Camphor, but I don't know of any value to this as a snake deterrent Just something to search about if you are exposed to them a lot, or especially with toddlers - got to protect the 'wee ones'. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naphthalene> Hope this helps, Buzzer
September 7, 201114 yr Have you thought about a badger? http://en.wikipedia....ki/Honey_badger http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2C8TdLx3-xs&NR=1
September 8, 201114 yr No, i think about beavers a lot though! Leckyman...do you live on a dam? aren't the beavers herbivore? The OP seems to have a problem in getting rid of snakes, the badger likes to eat snakes of any sizes or danger, have a look at the "Diet" section on the Wikipedia link i previously posted
