How do you keep snakes out of your garage?

Answer 1

Approach slowly, talk softly, place a chair nearby and sit quietly as you continue talking. Each time, bring soft (canned) kitten food with you, nicely broken up in a low bowl. Put the bowl next to your chair, stand up, and walk away; leave the kitten to eat in peace.

Twice a day, take him food and water. Each time, put both next to the chair. But, over many days, don't stand up and leave as soon as you did the last time. Food always wins, eventually. Trust is always greatest with the one person who feeds an animal.

Note: If the kitten is over 6 weeks old and was never touched by humans, he may already be feral (a bit wild). Don't give up hope--it is possible to gain the trust of a feral kitten and eventually make a pet. But trust must not be broken, or you'd be back at square one. So always feed near the same time, same spot, same behavior (yours), and same soft approach with your words, tone of voice, and your actions.

Another Answer

If you wish an easier and faster way then just go to your local animal shelter or pet shop and purchase an inexspensive live trap for small animals, these traps resemble wire cages and they allow you to place food inside at one end and the other end is open,when the animal enters and goes to the end to get the food the door closes and humanely traps the animal alive inside...place the trap close to where you hear the kitten and just leave it, check the trap everyday, hunger will eventually force the animal to enter the cage.

Answer 2

Cats are good companions and excellent mousers. As a gardener, you have nothing against them until you step in the evidence that they have been using your garden for their own private outdoor bathroom. Fortunately, there are humane ways to keep cats away from your flowers and vegetables.

Create a diversion

Plant a bed of catnip plants in a part of your yard away from the garden. Many cats are attracted by catnip and might be persuaded to leave the garden area alone. Think about building a sandbox for the cats, and locate it close to the catnip. Yes, you will create a giant litter box that demands cleaning, but you just might keep the cats away from your plants.

Work with wire

Make a trip to the hardware store, and buy some chicken wire. Chicken wire acts as a great deterrent to cats because they do not like to walk on it. Lay it over your gardening area before planting. Make the openings wider to accommodate your plants. Alternatively, try using wire to prevent entry to your yard. String a thin wire six inches above the height of your fence, and tighten it. The wire will prevent cats from balancing on the top of the fence before jumping down into your yard.

. Try natural remedies

Cats dislike rue, a semi-woody perennial herb that grows to a height of two to three feet and is hardy in zones 4 to 9. Rue does well in full sun and repels cats from the place in which it grows. Try planting an herb from the mint family that is marketed as Coleus canina, an annual that is easily propagated. The smell of this plant, though undetectable to humans unless crushed, is reportedly unpleasant to the sensitive noses of cats. Plant every yard or two in dry soil. Some people also report positive results with orange and lemon peel because cats seem to dislike citrus scents.

. Do not use moth balls to deter cats from your vegetable garden. Moth balls are toxic and can contaminate your vegetables.

Answer 3

Close the garage door and other entry doors. Make sure the walls have no openings either high or low. They also don't like the odor of mothballs.

Answer 4

You can spray vinegar around the area you don't want them to be in. The cats will smell the stench and won't come near. The smell will wear away.
