Snake Repellent Solutions for Georgia Homes & Businesses
Serving Atlanta Metro | Columbus | Augusta | Savannah
Snakes naturally live outside, but they still become a pest problem all year in homes and businesses in Georgia. While most generally avoid human contact, they may strike if provoked or cornered. So it’s important to know effective snake repellent methods.
Snakes are a common outdoor pest in Georgia that can invade homes and businesses year-round. Venomous species like rattlesnakes and cottonmouths pose a serious safety threat. But even non-venomous ones like garter snakes can bite if threatened and cause alarm.
Common DIY snake repellents, like mothballs or ammonia, typically don’t work well and can be harmful. Store-bought repellents also tend to produce poor results. Professional snake removal services are the most reliable way to get rid of them and keep them away.
The team at Active Pest Control are expert snake exterminators. Our specialists are highly trained in handling all snake species common to Georgia.
Natural Snake Repellent Options vs. Professional Solutions
Many Georgia residents have a hard time finding safe and effective snake repellents, often spending money on products that promise results but don’t work well. Natural methods can give mixed results and need regular reapplication.
Snake Repellent Plants
Some plants are known to naturally repel snakes due to their smell or taste. Common ones are marigolds, lemongrass, and rosemary. Others include:
- Garlic
- Onion
- Lavender
- Mint
- Fennel
- Thyme
Planting snake-repellent plants around your property may help keep some away, but it won’t stop all of them. Remember that overgrown plants can also provide hiding spots for snakes.
Professional Snake Treatment
Snake control experts use specially formulated repellents that are far more effective than DIY methods or plants. Their snake repellent forms a perimeter around your property, creating an invisible barrier that they will not cross.

Snake Pest Control: Removal, Exclusion, & Prevention
Even the best store-bought snake repellents may not work against an established population. In those cases, the snakes need to be physically trapped and removed.
However, removing them on your own can be risky, especially with venomous ones. DIY snake traps are often inadequate for the task since snakes may avoid them or even escape from flimsy traps. Without professional help, removing all of them can be a long, frustrating process.
Snake removal experts employ safe, humane methods to remove them with minimal stress to the animals. Once removed, they’re relocated to a suitable natural habitat far from homes and businesses.
What is the most effective snake repellent?
The most effective “repellent” isn’t something you spray or plug in, it’s habitat modification. This means making your property as unappealing as possible to them. The uncomfortable truth is that most repellents are either not very effective or total snake oil (pun intended).
So get rid of their food sources (rodents), remove hiding spots, and set up barriers that are hard for them to cross.
How do I snake-proof my yard?
Take the following steps to keep snakes out:
- Install physical barriers with snake-proof fencing, at least 36 inches high.
- Take care of any rodent infestations.
- Remove habitats, such as brush piles, tall grass, rock walls with gaps, and lumber stacks.
- Fix any moisture issues, including leaky faucets and standing water.
