Bonide Snake Stopper Snake Repellent, 1.5 lbs Ready-to-Use Granules, Outdoor Deterrent for Snakes, Lizards, Iguanas

The media could not be loaded. This product works! I have pics posted to prove it. Got rid of a copper head! I have 4 kids and hate lizards and snakes, and even more so with kids playing in the yard (I don’t want snakes with kids playing in the yard, lizards are fine in the yard… I just want lizards off my porch/deck where I sit)…So, Last summer we saw a snake skin right off the porch on the front of our house. This surprised me because I felt like the foot traffic in and out of the house would have deterred them.Anywas, that snake skin alone was enough for me.. I bought snake deterrent off Amazon. I used the green scent snake deterrent balls. Maybe they worked, I never saw a snake. So I can’t sayFor sure with the balls. However I can say for sure with this product. This powder interestingly enough mentions in the product labeling that If you don’t see any snakes or pests to reapply in two weeks. I thought it was interesting.I thought the powder would just make the snakes, if any, want to go away or not want to come near the treated area. Maybe this is so.. and maybe it works so good you may see one actually trying to get away from the powder/treated area.So my husband applied it about 5-6 days ago, and my husband just did the porch area and along the front of our house. He did not do the garage area or the other side of the house the garage is on. He rolled his eyes when I asked him to use it. (I can get why he would think it’s ridiculous, he’s a marine and lives in the woods with all his training. Plus he’s way braver than I’ll ever be)… anyways, he did it because He’s a great man and loves me. Thank God for brave men and women!This morning, my husband left for work and I thought I would finish the garage area he didn’t do, and you can see what I saw as I glanced around where I would put the powder. This snake was inside the garage area. I now know why this product label states the fact about you seeing a snake. This was the untreated area. Of course not only was this a snake but a copper head! We live in NC. First snake I have seen in a long time and low and behold it’s a copper head. Ugh!So I highly recommend this product and beware you may see a snake actually being forced away by it. Needless to say, my husband finished the rest of the garage area. Thank God I saw this snake and My husband was able to come home to kill it.Sorry for this long review, but I am so pleased this product help protect my kids. This was infront of our house. I could see this snake in the back yard maybe because we live against the woods but the front shocked me. My kids play out front a lot. I’m so thankful for this product.Last thing, lizards have hardly been around. I see one usually everyday and I have maybe seen 1 since we applied this powder almost a week ago. It does take a while to absorb into the ground but I could care less it got rid of a copper head I didn’t know was around!

This stuff works really well.

We have not seen a snake and i never want to see one either (in the yard)I have contemplated the idea of putting some on my trainers before going hiking!I do not find the smell unpleasant but my hubby does. It really is relative to ones’nose!Need to reapply after rain ! ( we are AZ)

A few months ago, my little miniature schnauzer and I went outside so that she can do her business. She was on her retractable leash as she walked to the flower bed about 10 feet away from me. Suddenly she ran back to me and I noticed she was acting weird. We went back inside and her pupils were huge! She was drooling and panting and pooped as she was laying on the floor. We rushed her to the all night vet. We later learned she was sprayed in her face/mouth by a frog/toad as she likes to go after them. Since that day we have been searching for a solution to deter the frogs from my lawn. This isn’t a frog deterrent BUT apparently, this stuff is an irritant for them. The smell is strong and smells a lot like Red Hot candies or Fireball liquor. My main concern was putting something down that would deter the frogs but not harm my dog or the grass. This is one of the few products that is supposed to deter frogs while not being toxic to your pet or your grass. So far, the lawn and my dog are both fine. The frogs seem to be a lot less active out there at night. I literally haven’t seen any for a few days. I walk the grass at night first with a flashlight before even allowing my dog to go out there just to scare any off but there hasn’t been any. We have been getting a lot of rain so I have to reapply but whatever it takes.

It works effectively, but best apply it on a calm day.

So this year I have an influx if garden snakes seen and going under a small 4x3 deck and around a 10x6 greenhouse. I am terrified but dont want to harm them. I bought this stuff and have used it for 3 months before giving this review. I have put way more than an 8 inch barrier..I covered porch, put underneath and did a large band around (at least 8 inches) still snakes..tried several more times..2 days ago I did it again. No rain...I literally just watched a garden snake slither through the powder without any care in the world and this is one of many I have continually seen. At least 2 or 3 per day. Smells like cloves...maybe some snakes don't like but average garden snakes don't seem to care. They can have the rest of the property but not the porch and greenhouse lol my back yard has smelled like a xmas ham all summer, which would be ok if the snakes stayed away. I don't recommend.

Works well to keep snakes away from my deck and buildings

I found a snake curled up approximately 13 feet from my kitchen door. Once I sprinkle this product all around my house and I would reapply it after a heavy rain, I have not seen any snakes since and that has been approximately three months. The one good thing about this is that when you apply it around your house it smells really nice especially on hot Summer days.
