how do you get rid of snakes in a beach house?

I have a house down at the beach and a bunch of snakes are living and mating inside. We’ve found them in the insulation of the bottom walls when we were fixing a leak last time we visited so we know there is a problem. It seems they come around every spring and live there all summer but we don’t see them in winter time when we visit. Is there something we can put out to keep them out?

Snakes are opportunistic and if this house has a lot of entry holes, they’ll readily move in if you don’t try to stop them. Snakes also like to live close to where there is food so I bet there is something they’re eating close by like rodents, frogs or insects. To start, I suggest you set out some of the traps we have listed in our SNAKE CONTROL ARTICLE on the inside of the house.

I also suggest you set out the SNAKE REPELLENT around the perimeter of the building. The repellent will keep them away but if you trap any inside, the traps should collect them as they forage around trying to escape. Renew your applications at least once a month if can.
