    Myth One: Powdered sulfur (when used alone) is a snake repellent. Fact: sulfur does not repel snakes! In University tests, sulfur alone has never been shown to repel any species of snake. In fact, when a snake crosses a barrier of sulfur, the material may actually work its way beneath the reptile's scales and cause irritation. This irritated snake becomes more aggressive and dangerous to humans and pets. Do you want a meaner snake? Myth Two: Lime should be used as a snake repellent. The fact: Fact: Lime has never been shown to repel snakes in tests. Applying lime in an area to repel snakes may be hazardous to humans and pets. If lime becomes damp or wet, it becomes very caustic to humans and domestic animals. Lime may even cause blindness and will also cause severe skin burns to humans and other animals.

    This is for getting rid of snakes . i'm from South Carolina and I live in Atlanta , Ga now . Growing up in a farming family , it is a Southern custom to use lime . Lime irritates and eats away at a snakes or any retiles skin , so they stay miles away from it ( smile ) . You can buy bags of lime at any feed and seed store , your local wal-mart , home depot , or lowes . We in the South have always sprinkled lime under our houses, yards, and gardens . Its a proven scientific method , and its not harmful to humans at all ! Good luck . Stephanie Robinson

    We spray our entire property line with diesel, it tends to keep the snakes at bay. However, not forever (unfortunately)!

    Run them over with your lawnmower! This keeps the population under control for sure! I hate snakes - I do not want some attempt to control them. I want them dead.
