Snake scarpers - customer reviews

Summer is not only time for rest and vacations, not only the joy of bathing in different water bodies, but also certain dangers accompanying pastime in nature. And if some troubles are simply annoying and do not threaten most people with serious consequences (the same bites of wasps and bees, for example), then meetings with reptiles can lead to even death. That's why the people are so interested in all sorts of snake scarpers. Reviews about them are very different, that's why we decided to thoroughly understand both the concept itself and the ways of the device's impact.

Doubt in some commercial offers

I must say, some manufacturers are pretty unscrupulous both in the process of making devices, and in their advertising. Not so long ago, the most popular was the ultrasound snake repeller. Reviews about him, however, were so negative that blown popularity quickly came to naught. The fact is that even preschoolers who have looked at old cartoons are aware that snakes are absolutely deaf. That is, they simply will not hear an ultrasonic "siren". In addition to this, in contrast to the wave of the usual "tonality", ultrasound quickly decays when penetrated into the soil, its intensity drops thousands of times when passing through even a small layer of earth. That is why the ultrasonic scourge repellers are so useless , the testimonies of those who burned on them quickly made up even the illiterate. However, we caution: it is not necessary when buying such a device, you are dealing with a schemer. It is possible, "Ultrasound" - it's just a commercial name. First, ask what principle is at the heart of the work of the device being purchased.

Using Sound

Immediately say that in the so-called sound apparatus is used not only a sound wave, although it is there, and low-frequency. Although snakes do not have ears, they are able to sense the sound if its frequency fluctuates between 150 and 600 Hz. This is the range, in particular, of the snake repeller CH 316B. Reviews about him are mostly positive, and sometimes reach enthusiastic. In addition to the sound effect, it also applies vibration, which is well perceived by snakes, deprived of the opportunity to hear. The combination of two kinds of influence allows you to achieve very good results. Keep in mind: if you have heard or read about the sound repeller of snakes, the reviews concern, most likely, precisely such devices combined impact.

The preferred feature of such devices should be their autonomy from electrical grids. Snakes seldom approach the places of active life, they avoid the accumulation of people. And where they feel comfortable, the cable is unlikely to be laid. The same CH-316B operates on a solar panel and is able to protect from unpleasant neighbors 625 square meters of your site. The device works every 40 seconds, and the impulses last for different times, which further disorients reptiles, why they seek to leave the inhospitable territory. In addition, it is worth noting the LED, which in the dark helps to find the installed device, and moreover is a decorative element in the garden.

Worthy opponents

No less attractive is also the repeller of snakes Ls 107 - reviews about him are quite benevolent. True, it protects half the size of the territory - up to 300 square meters, but for non-commercial use it is very good. Made of the same materials as the previous device (plastic + aluminum), but much more compact, which is an added bonus for those who want to simply protect their dacha from uninvited guests. Disadvantage can be found food - D-elements in an amount of 4 pieces: they will have to periodically change.

Another repeller of snakes - Yochomi - reviews have positive yet due to the fact that it constantly changes the frequency of the emitted sound. As in the case of CH-316B, where the duration of the impact varies, this engineering move knocks the serpent off and makes it much more uncomfortable to find them on the ground guarded by the device.

Pluses: modern snake repellers

Feedback on the main advantages of such devices are based on the fact that they lack any poisons and chemicals. Accordingly, there is no risk of poisoning pets or birds, and you can be sure that after some time, no decontamination of the soil will be required. The sound frequencies used do not affect terrestrial animals in any way - you can not be afraid that the chickens (if you have them) will cease to be carried or your dog will get mad. Do not harm these devices and children. So, it can be said, the only good thing is the absence of snakes on your territory and no side effects.

What to look for when choosing

What is the best way to repel a snake? Reviews of those who have tried several, recommend paying attention to the type of food. Those devices that operate on batteries are much less expensive, but the problem is that the batteries will have to be changed, which means - to pull the device out of the ground. This is both troublesome and interrupts the impact on the reptiles, and it is difficult to control the operation of the device. And if you take on solar panels - pay attention to the capacity of the batteries. If it is small, then with a relatively small number of sunny days (which is not uncommon in our region), the batteries will quickly discharge, and the scaring off of the snakes will cease. It is also desirable that the batteries are removable - then with a lack of sun they can be recharged alternatively.

More positive reviews about the repellers of snakes with the top output of the source of impact. This is due to the fact that with the location from the bottom rainwater almost immediately floods the tube, which naturally results in a short circuit. Result: the device can be discarded.

Operational rules

Putting a repeller in the middle of the garden is impractical: snakes in the open space are uncomfortable, they will not crawl to it, so the efficiency will drop dramatically. If you saw a snake on a certain garden site, put the device there. If you have not yet come across them or do not know where their lair is - place your appliance next to shrubs, heaps of garden rubbish, tree trunks or suspicious holes. At first, the action of the scarifier only activates the snakes: they begin to worry, leave the shelter, they can become more aggressive. So the first day should be or spend in another place (at friends at a party, at the sea, at relatives), or try to go out less often in the yard and closely monitor everything that moves.

Most of the scarers are watertight, but it's better to be safe. In heavy rain and hail, the device should be cleaned under the roof. If the device still penetrated the device - pull it out, unplug the batteries or remove the batteries and leave to dry. If you chose a solar battery repeller, do not forget to wipe it off occasionally, so that the energy accumulates in sufficient quantity.

Prevention is our all

No matter how good modern adaptations are, it is better to try to avoid the need to acquire them. And for this you just need to keep a good eye on your site. The best shelter for snakes is a thicket of weeds, so it's not a bad idea to at least cut grass regularly. And this will have to be done not only on its own territory, but also on neighboring wastelands, from where uninvited guests can come again to visit you. Moreover, the urge to do the same will have to neighbors - lovers of weed thickets. Take care also that in the district there are no shelters for reptiles - stumps, heaps of brushwood and logs; Remove all household garden tools from the bags to the hoses, barrels and carts into the utility rooms. You will not be able to get rid of the dangerous neighborhood completely, but it's quite enough to reduce the unpleasant population.

National snake deterrents

The testimonies of people living "on earth" are unambiguous: nothing better than that created by nature has been invented. And in serpentine respect, the hedgehogs remain unsurpassed. They are born hunters of creeping evil spirits. In addition to snakes, snakes also kill rats, moles, toads and other uninvited inhabitants of the garden. If you can lure a family of hedgehogs to the site - you are lucky. There are no scientific methods to attract prickly snakes; If you catch and bring - not the fact that they will stay with you. But you can try to lure them in an old way - for beer. People say that if you leave saucers with this intoxicating drink regularly and in an accessible (not dangerous and noisy) place, the hedgehog will move to you voluntarily. However, they say that they also go well for milk.

Alternative methods

One of the most reliable is the stone foundation under the fence. However, he is very efficient: first, we need confidence that the snake was not there before; Secondly, you can not put gates and wickets on the foundation - here's the entrance for the crawling; Thirdly, any mouse mink - just a prospect for creeps.

It is believed that a good way is to scatter around the perimeter of dry mustard. However, in order to verify its effectiveness, it is necessary, again, to know precisely that the site is free from reptiles. And to make sure that the new "guests" did not penetrate the territory, it is rather difficult. As a scent repeller, kerosene is also advised, diluted two-thirds with water. Objections are the same, and the fragrance of your site is unlikely to please you.

So back to civilization: it's better to understand the characteristics, spend on a quality sound repeller and breathe more fully, without fear of snake bites.
