If it rains hard it will have to be done more often. If not maybe every 2-3 weeks.

Make sure to put them in a cloth bag not ones with holes so when the balls get smaller they don't fall thru. RE: Natural Snake Repellents Post By Carol in PA (Guest Post) (05/09/2007) My heart goes out to you as I sure understand your plight. I've had snakes between my storm door and my mud room door for the past two years! They made a nest in the crack in the concrete between the foundation and the sidewalk and sunbathe on the concrete. At first I bought expensive spray over the internet. But it was well worth the money as I learned something. The man who sold it told me snakes hate strong odors. (I think they "inhale" it through their skin...) The product I purchased smelled like the strong creams you put on sore muscles... It contained capsasin which I believe is a type of hot pepper. Last spring I put some Tiger Balm brand in that crack and havent seen a snake there since that time. I truly believe anything that has a strong nasty smell would work. I particularly like the capsasin ointment because it renews its smell in the hot sun and you dont need to replace it when/if it rains. I must tell you that I used to have lots of insects in my lawn. Then, voles came to eat the insects. Now I have snakes to eat the voles. Try to figure out if you have this type of food chain in your garden. Do you have any toads living in your mulch? If you eliminate the food supply, the snakes will go away. Best of luck !
