Snake Powder Or Spray ? Were To Buy

Featured Replies

Hello All,

I used to be able to get snake powder to keep the snakes away @ True value ... but thats closed down , any one out there know were it can be brought ???

thanks in advance,

Glenn.

Never heard of snake powder, wouldn't the first rain wash it away? Or do you want to use it to prevent the snakes going into the bedroom from the living room?

Once somebody told me that in Australia they use a round type of gravel around the garden perimeter, snakes dislike slithering over it.

I have heard of people using sulphur but will need to replace after rain.

naftaline balls (moth balls) working fine!

you can buy it for little money in every lotus,big-c,super cheap.

None of them work - all myths or website hoax's. Google will help you.

Focus on removing food that snakes eat, like frogs or mice, removing places for snakes to hide under and keep grass low.

Won't keep them all away 100%, but it will help.

My dog seems to work well. She's killed two this week.

I thought you were looking for prickly heat powder when I saw the thread title.

Actually that might work!

Don't know if this will help but I understand that the American cowboys would circle their bed with a horse hair rope.

Me, I don't go tent camping here in Thailand, too many critterssad.png

Thai's use a powder called Bpoon cow in Thai, it comes in 25 or 30 or kilo bags and can be bought very cheap at any Builders merchants selling sand and cement. I bought some here in Kamala when I saw a cobra in my garden last year.

You generously sprinkle a thick line of it around the edge of your property and it does work, I never saw any more snakes in the garden afterwards

I tried that. I pretty sure it hurts all the cats & dogs pawns if there is any moist.

Stopped using after I saw an snakes going over the area I put it. It did not have any effect to snakes in my case.

Probably converts to sulfuric acid when mixed with water.

Plenty of snake-oil salesmen in Phuket.

I'm sure you'll find one if you look hard enough........

Anything like snake oil?

Actually large aircraft hydraulic oil (Skydrol) does work. But it is probably not very good for the environment, it is expensive, and not easily accessible.

still looking for this? we use at work so i can ask if you are still in need?
