Wormwood
According to Mr. Granger McCollough, CEO of Elite Patio Direct, wormwood is one of the plants that snakes cannot stand the smell of. Not only that, wormwood is large in size, so in addition to making them uncomfortable because of the scent, this plant also helps prevent snakes from entering your home.
Basil
Many people like to add basil to their dishes because they love its aroma. However, snakes are different, they cannot stand the smell of basil. Therefore, if you want to repel snakes, you can plant basil in your yard or garden.
Garlic
Like basil, snakes do not like the smell of garlic. Some people believe that the strong smell of garlic helps repel these scary creatures. Therefore, they often plant garlic around their homes or use garlic sprays to deter snakes.
Lemongrass
Another plant that snakes are very afraid of is lemongrass. In fact, the scent of lemongrass is often used in some insecticides.
Although there are some plants that can repel snakes, experts still recommend that people regularly clean their homes and gardens, cut and clear bushes to reduce hiding places for snakes. If you often see snakes near your living area, seek help from a professional.
