How to snake proof my yard?
I really enjoy working in my yard. I have a raised flower bed, as well. I have seen snakes in my yard a couple of times this year. I am terrified of two kinds of snakes: dead ones and alive ones. Is there something I can put on the perimeter of my yard to keep the snakes out. I am so afraid, when I am weeding I will get snake bitten. HELP!!!

There are products that repel snakes from you gardens and they work very well, but you need to reapply after watering or rain! That’s the downfall ! Just ask for snake repellent at your local garden center
There is no way to keep snakes out of your yard. We have them here and you just need to check your surroundings. Snakes are not interested in you. No snakes = mice

Learn which snakes in your area or poisonous. Snakes perform great garden functions. They eat rodents. Clean up the yard so they have no reason to visit you.
There is no reason on to fear snakes, they will not bite or attack unless they feel threatened. I catch rattlesnakes and relocate them.
At my old home I let the small garter snakes do their thing--eat slugs and snails.
However, the larger ones hunted the goldfish in my pond. Once, I had to wade into my pond, catch a poaching snake and pry open it's mouth to release the fish it caught... then I walked down to the river and released the snake....and then I washed the snake pee off my hands...woo it stinks!
Easy story when it's a garter snake...but I know my limits....no way while I approach a rattle snake. Kudos to Naomie!
