    A

    Snake A Way is not harmful to pets, although, some may dislike the odor. Pets should be out of the area during application and for a few hours after.  If you have outdoor pets, then you may consider using a natural snake repellent instead, such as Snake Out Snake Repellent.

    Q
    I had snake away spread around the exterior of my home. Is it normal to smell it in my house?
    It was laid this morning, and I can smell it in my home now. Wondering if this is normal. If it isn't, and I need to remove it, what's the best way? Should I use a shop vac?! Help!
    A

    The smell of Snake Away can be quite strong at first and is needed to do its job. The smell should start to fade after a few days outdoors. The only way to eliminate it quickly would be to physically remove the repellent.

    Q
    If Snake Away is put around the outside perimeter of a house when the snake is in the basement, will the snake leave the basement?
    A

    We could not guarantee that it would cause the snake to leave the basement as the Snake A Way is made to repel the snakes. If it is put around the home, the snake will want to avoid coming in contact with it, so it may try to avoid it.

    Q
    I have a little 700 sq ft apartment and just put 4 lbs of Snake A Way around my little apartment on the outside. It smells terrible and I am worried about my health because I sit out on the back patio every evening....is this going to be a problem?
    A

    Snake A Way is designed to have a very offensive smell to help deter snakes from inhabiting places where they’re not wanted.  The smell is not harmful to people, other than the fact that it is unpleasant.  The smell also helps to alert you to the fact that you may need a repeat application, as when the smell starts to dissipates the effectiveness may have diminished.

    Q
    When you apply Snake A Way, will the snake come out?
    A

    Per the product label, Do not use Snake A Way at sites where snakes are believed to be already present as the deterrent effects of the product might tend to confine snakes to the treated areas. Depending on where the snake is located, you can apply a band of granules making sure to leave a wide enough opening for the snake to leave. For example, you would only treat 3 sides of the lawn or garden area to allow a wide enough space for the snake to leave.

    Q
    Will Snake A Way 4 lbs. work with black snakes?
    A

    According to the manufacturer Snake A Way 4 lbs. works for the majority of snake species due to how it repels them. Snakes have what is called a Jacobson’s organ, which is a patch of sensory cells within the main nasal chamber that detects heavy moisture-borne odor particles. The smell of the ingredients in this product effect that organ causing snakes to become disoriented and go away from the smell. When using this product it is very important to remember to NOT apply products where snakes are currently to prevent any potential harm. This product should be applied in areas where snakes have been previously or areas you want to keep them out of.
