Bonide Snake Stopper Snake Repellent, 4 lb. Ready-to-Use Granules for Outdoor Pest Control, People & Pet Safe

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!

It works

This appears to be a deterrent but it’s difficult to know for sure. Was worth trying.

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.

I'm in Tampa Fl. Saw a black snake near my home walk way on my way to work. My mom was visiting and she gets uneasy about these critters. Ordered this stuff from Amazon. Yeah, it's powder (not granulated) and smells like cinnamon. Sprinkled it around the walk way, garage, bushes, and back patio without the wind blowing. Haven't seen the black snake anymore nor so many lizards like before. Only saw one lizard a week later and now they are all gone. It's been a month and 2 weeks since the first bag application and haven't seen anything! Well, Lol ..Looks like fertilizer powder in your yard until it rains , but this stuff definitely works and will be ordering more unless my HOA sends me a letter about our snow yard! LOL :D

I read through the reviews and thought there were enough good reviews for me to try it since I don't want to kill the lizard, just want to keep him out of my sanctuary. I put this in my garage and in my florida room. In the garage the lizards run through it without even hesitating. There is only one lizard in my florida room, he has made the place his home! .As you can see in the pictures, the powder is down and he's either hanging out on the screen, on the chair or on the white part at the bottom of the screen. He even hangs out in my plant . . . . . . but he doesn't leave! I thought this stuff would do the trick. It smells nice like cinnamon spices but it's doing nothing to the lizards to deter them.If you do take the plunge and buy this, know you'll have a hard time shaking it out from the container. You'll be better off putting it in something else and shaking from that. Mine had the cap backwards so the shaker side was upside down to shake easily.

This stuff works really well.

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