   Repelling Snakes with Plants
    Lavender: Lavender’s fragrant scent is lovely to us but offensive to snakes.
       Plant it along paths and near entry points to your home.
    Marigolds: The strong odor of marigolds deters not only snakes but also a range
       of other pests.
    Rosemary: This aromatic herb is an excellent choice for snake repellent.
       Plant it around your garden or entryways.
    Onion and Garlic: Both onion and garlic plants can help keep snakes away
       due to their pungent scent.
    Lemongrass: Lemongrass contains citronella, which is a natural snake repellent.
       Plant it in your garden or keep it in pots around your outdoor areas.
    Garlic and Onions: These pungent plants can serve as a strong deterrent
       for copperheads

Mothballs are commonly thought to repel snakes, but they are not intended
to be used this way and have little effect on snakes.

What is the best snake repellent?
Research also shows that:
      cinnamon oil, clove oil, and eugenol
      are effective snake repellents. Snakes will retreat when sprayed
      directly with these oils and will exit cargo or other confined
      spaces when these oils are introduced to the area.

I am merely reposting for my edification
you do, or do not do, things at your own risk
am NOT responsible for anything of any kind
I have NO medical training of any kind
CONSULT A DOCTOR
Personally, I do NOT trust any snake repellents - DRW
Consult a herpetologist
