Today, the habitat of snakes has spread far beyond the forest. Reptiles of this species can be easily found on the outskirts of the city and at their summer cottage. There are few pleasant feelings from such visits. Therefore, most experienced gardeners try to get rid of intruders using a snake repeller at their dacha.

The basic principle of the repeller

Based on the choice of the method by which the pest control will be carried out, it is worth considering the features of the biological character of the snake.

Important!It is especially important to understand that the territory in which they live is perceived as their own possessions, that is, their natural habitat. They do not perceive the owner of the site as the owner, feeling comfortable in someone else's territory and adapting to life there.

There are many ways today that can help you get rid of snakes. However, the most effective is the installation of a snake repeller on the site.

The principle of operation of the device is extremely simple. Due to the special sound vibration emissions that the repeller emits, snakes in a state of panic try to leave their habitat. The device is designed taking into account the biological characteristics of reptiles. It is aimed at creating conditions and special ultrasound signals that cause fear and damage the nervous system of the snake, thereby forcing it to retreat to a new habitat.

The deterrent is installed above the ground, therefore, thanks to the generator of the distribution of the strength of vibration signals, the device can effectively scare away snakes not only at a local point. A big bonus to this type of snake fighting is the fact that the device does not require reconfiguration. When the viper approaches, an automatically programmed generator is triggered, which begins to amplify signals that are unpleasant for the snake.

Mole and snake repeller has a timer, you can set the frequency with which the device will automatically increase or decrease the frequency of transmitted signals. The service life is not limited. Thanks to the plastic body, it can be used in all weather conditions.

Important! The signals generated by the device are absolutely inaudible and harmless to humans.

The result of the work of the above scarers is the same everywhere, however, the principle of operation of the devices will differ:

  • One of the most effective models is considered to be an ultrasonic snake repeller. The principle of operation is that the device emits ultrasonic waves, which, hitting the device, create vibration of the earth cover, thereby creating an opportunity to scare away snakes.
  • Many summer residents choose a vibration repeller as their helpers.The principle of its operation is extremely simple: a motor built into the mechanism of the device is activated by pressing a button, thereby emitting vibrations on the soil surface. The vibrating device is capable of operating at a distance of 1.5 kilometers. The device operates at an air temperature of 5 to 60 degrees Celsius.
  • Another equally effective option is a dietary supplement for the soil. It includes a certain list of essential oils that penetrate deeply into the soil, preventing snakes from moving around the cultivated area. The drug will help to act for about 40 days, then you need to take repeated measures. This additive is completely safe for both humans and representatives of the animal world.

Note! It is necessary to find out when buying a device, what is the territorial radius of its influence. The coverage area usually ranges from 300 meters to 1 kilometer.
