The short answer is that snake repellents do not work. The products depend on the desperation of truly scared home owners who are willing to try almost anything to get rid of a snake or snakes on their property. The ingredients they contain have no effect on snakes at all, and even if they did, the first rain would wash them away.For details see:http://tinyurl.com/nmjjw2
No.Experiments done with carbolic acid has prooved it wrong.So we are yet to find a strong snake repellent.But for any practical purposes precaution meantime seems to be a better option.House cleanliness,rodent hole destruction,banning snake hiding place (like bushes,unneccessary heapings etc etc) would in great extent reduce snakes gaining access to our houses.
Off bug repellent is the best to use when you live in he woods. I use it all the time at the cottage and it works great.
Mosquito repellent does not kill humans when used correctly. Always read the directions prior to use of any form of repellent.

Use insect repellent.
There is not one formula for acidified potassium permanganate, it is a mixture, not a pure compound. Next to water it contains: H+ and K+ and MnO4- Warning: Do NOT use hydrochloric acid to acidify!
I would suggest luring it out of the hole using live prey. The small rodent should be in a closed area where it can't get out but the snake can get in. Like a crab trap. Another way is by force. I strongly recommend against it. ( I have a big portion of my heart for animals. ) Use a tool and try to loop it around the neck. However if it is an emergency call an expert on reptiles, poison control or the ASPCA. Hope it helps =)!!!
Magnesium phosphide is used as a raticide.
No, picaridin should not be used on dogs as an insect repellent. It is not recommended for use on pets as it can be toxic to them. It is important to consult with a veterinarian for safe and effective insect repellent options for dogs.
Insect repellent is highly thought of.
