Snake-A-Way

Snake-A-Way, manufactured by Woodstream, is a patented humane snake repellent that works effectively on poisonous and non-poisonous snakes for up to 2-3 months after application. 

This quality granule snake repellent contains a unique blend of sulfur and naphthalene, which temporarily disrupt the snake's sensory receptors without harm. This successfully disorients the snake, causing it to slither away from the property in search of fresh air.

Snake-A-Way effectively removes rattlesnakes, garter snakes, and other snake species by driving them away from areas where they can live, breed, or hunt, such as yards. 

Tools Needed

No tools are needed other than gloves when handling the granules.

How to Use

• Step 1: Wear gloves, remove the granules from the packaging, and lightly sprinkle them along the perimeter of the area you want to protect by creating a snake barrier.
• Step 2: Create bands of these granules around your home. For instance, to repel garter snakes, spread Snake-A-Way in 4 to 5-inch-wide bands. For rattlesnakes, break the granules into 8 to 12-inch-wide bands.
• Step 3: Reapply until snakes no longer threaten the property. When Snake-A-Way's odor becomes faint, the product loses its effectiveness if this occurs during the season when snakes are heavily active, retreat areas with enough product to restore the original odor intensity.

Where to Use

Snake-A-Way can be used around houses, cabins, trailers, garages, barns, trash cans, flowerbeds, and anywhere snakes have been sighted. The granules can be spread along areas where snakes like to slither around and explore, such as wood piles, high brush areas, ground cover, and old logs.

When to Use

Use this product, particularly in the spring when snake activity is at its peak, in the summertime when families are most exposed to the outdoors, and in the fall to prevent hibernation. Reapplication may be needed after heavy rainfall.

Safety Information

Snake-A-Way is safe to use around children and pets when applied according to the product label instructions. Always wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when applying this product.

Keep out of reach of children and pets. 

Special Considerations

Snake-A-Way has a powerful smell, so try not to take a big whiff of it when applying it. Also, do not use this product where snakes are believed to be already present since the deterrent effects of the product may confine them to the treated area.

Snake-A-Way is the same as the discontinued Dr. T Snake-A-Way but made by a different manufacturer.
