Victor Snake Away

The repellent works by temporarily disrupting the snake's Jacobson's organ, a sensory receptor they use to 'smell' their environment. This sensory confusion encourages the snake to retreat from the treated area without causing it any physical harm.

While the formula is designed to be humane, it contains naphthalene and sulfur, which can be irritating. You should apply it in areas where pets and children do not play, such as along the perimeter of your property, and ensure it is not accessible to them.

A single application typically remains effective for 2 to 3 months. However, heavy rainfall or extreme weather conditions may require you to reapply sooner to maintain the barrier.

For the best results, apply the granules in a band 4 to 5 inches wide around the perimeter of the area you want to protect, such as your home, garden, or patio. Do not place the granules directly inside the area you are trying to keep clear; the goal is to create a barrier that snakes will avoid crossing.

Victor Snake Away is specifically EPA-registered to target garter snakes and rattlesnakes. While it may deter other species, its effectiveness is most proven against these specific types.

No, this product is strictly for outdoor use only. The active ingredients can produce a strong odor that is unpleasant and potentially irritating in enclosed indoor spaces.
