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.

How do you draw out a snake from hiding?

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 =)!!!

Is there a snake deterrent?

No, Snake Repellents do not work. In general snake repellents are made up of ingredients that strike humans as powerful or just plain stinky. Many have napthalene as a main ingedient - the same ingedient that makes mothballs stink. But napthalene is not approved to be used outdoors to repel snakes, and there is no evidence or reason to think it works anyway. The one university study that purveyors of these snake oils point to has been shown to be poorly designed and proves nothing.Any substance one puts on their lawn and garden to repel snakes would just be washed away with the first dew or rain anyway.For a better understanding of ways to get rid of snakes see;http://tinyurl.com/snake-repellents
