When the snakes' burrows get filled with water due to rain, they reach homes, gardens or warehouses in search of a dry and safe place. Therefore, it is important to be cautious of snakes during the rainy season. But by keeping some things in mind, your house can be protected from snakes.

If you see snakes during the rainy season, instead of panicking, you can avoid them by taking some simple precautions. Like- maintain cleanliness around the house, close open spaces and if you see a snake anywhere, do not tease it, but immediately seek expert help.

Cleanliness is essential

During the rainy season, snakes often hide in clutter and loose objects, such as dry leaves, tall grass or piles of wood. These places become a safe haven for them, especially during the rains. Therefore, it is important to keep the garden or courtyard clean and tidy. Remove dry leaves, cut grass and keep wood off the ground to keep both snakes and prey such as rats away.

Close up cracks in the house

During rains, snakes can often enter the house through cracks or small paths. To avoid this, doors, windows, drains, and cracks in the walls should be closed properly. For this, use silicone, door sweep or mesh cover, so that air can come in and the path of snakes is also closed.

Use this household item

Home remedies like crushed garlic, rock salt or white phenyl can be tried to keep snakes away. However, these remedies are not completely reliable, so they should be adopted only as an extra precaution. It is important to keep them away from the reach of children and pets.

Don't throw out food

Snakes often come in search of prey like rats, so to keep them away from home, pay special attention to cleanliness. Keep the dustbin closed, do not throw out leftover food and clean the place where bird feed or manure is kept. This reduces the chances of snakes coming near you.

What to do if you see a snake

If you see a snake in your house, do not panic and do not try to catch or kill it. Maintain a safe distance and immediately call an expert or wildlife rescue team. Most snakes do not attack on their own, they are just looking for a safe place.
