Food + shelter

That is what brings snakes close to your home.

A garage, shed or the space under the house is cool, dark and quiet - and it is usually where the mice are. That is exactly what a snake is looking for on a hot day.

Australian councils say the fix is to remove food sources and shelter - rodents, green-waste piles - and seal the gaps into the house and garage. Take away the welcome, and they move on. And you can start today.

How it works

A corn-cob core soaks up the oils and releases them slowly into the air around the pouch - in the garage corner, behind the shed door, along the subfloor vent.

Cleaner corners. Fewer surprises. Less dread.

Open. Place. Relax.

Three steps, a couple of minutes, and nothing to spray, spread or plug in.

Step 1

Open the bag

Each bag holds 10 sealed pouches. Open only the pouches you are placing today and keep the rest sealed, so they stay fresh.

Step 2

Place the pouches

Put 2 at each spot where snakes hide or slip in: a doorway, under the deck steps, beside the shed, the corners of the garage. Keep them out of reach of children and pets.

Step 3

Replace on time

Each pouch releases its scent for up to 300 hours. Swap in a fresh one about every 2 weeks, and sooner after heavy rain.

Frequently asked

The basics

Small breathable pouches filled with corn cob that has been infused with peppermint, cinnamon and clove oil. You place them where snakes tend to hide or pass through, and the strong plant scent works as a natural barrier. No mothballs, no poison, nothing to spray.

Snakes "smell" with their tongue: every flick carries scent to a special organ in the roof of the mouth. Strong plant oils are unpleasant to that sense. In research by the US Department of Agriculture's National Wildlife Research Centre, cinnamon oil and clove oil made snakes retreat. Our pouches put those same oils where you want snakes to stay away from.

No. It is a deterrent, not a poison. It is designed to make an area unpleasant for snakes so they move on, which is better for you and for the snakes - they are protected native wildlife in Australia and keep rodents down.

Plant essential oils: peppermint oil 6%, cinnamon oil 2% and clove oil 2%. The other 90% is corn cob, which holds the oils and releases them slowly.

No repellent is, and we would not trust anyone who says theirs is. Scent repellents work best as one layer: keep grass short, clear woodpiles and clutter, seal gaps under doors and sheds, and control rodents. Nubello adds a natural scent barrier on top of that. If a venomous snake is already inside your home, step away and call a licensed snake catcher.

Yes, a little - that is the point. Up close it smells of mint and warm spice, a bit like a Christmas candle. Outdoors most people only notice it when they are standing right next to a pouch. Nothing like the mothball smell of chemical granules.

Many traditional snake repellents are granules made with naphthalene (the mothball chemical) and sulfur, shaken across your lawn. Naphthalene is toxic to people and pets, and mothballs were never made to repel snakes. Nubello uses plant oils instead, sits in a tidy pouch you can pick back up, and can be used indoors in garages, sheds and under the house as well as outside.

First, if the snake is inside or you think it is venomous, keep people and pets away and call a licensed snake catcher - do not try to handle it. Then look at what drew it in: rodents, woodpiles, tall grass, gaps under doors. Clear what you can, and place pouches along the route it used: the door, the steps, the foundation line and nearby beds.

That is the reason most families buy it. Place pouches around the edges of play areas, the fence line and under the deck rather than in the middle of the lawn, and keep them out of reach - a curious dog or toddler should not be chewing on a pouch. Keep grass short where the kids play so you can see the ground.

Garages and sheds are cool, dark and full of rodents, which is exactly what snakes look for. Put pouches in the corners, along the door gap and behind stored items, and replace them on time. Just as important: seal gaps under the door and get rid of any mice - no scent will out-compete a steady food supply.

Yes. Place pouches under the deck boards, beside the steps, around the pool equipment and along planters - the shady, sheltered spots near where you sit. Keep them out of the water and away from the pool itself.

Yes, a bag packs flat. Put a few pouches around the tent or the caravan steps and under the awning when you arrive, and pick them up when you leave so nothing is left behind.

Focus on the places that matter instead of the whole acreage: the house foundation, doorways, the machinery shed or chook pen, the woodpile and the paths you walk every day. Bigger properties usually go for the 3- or 5-bag bundles so they can keep fresh pouches out all season.

Peppermint oil is also a well-known mouse and rodent deterrent, and fewer rodents means fewer reasons for snakes to visit. We sell it as a snake repellent, though, so judge it on that.

No, and anyone who promises that is selling. Scent repellents lower the odds, they do not build a wall, and a hungry snake following rodents may still pass through. That is why we tell you to combine the pouches with a tidy yard, and why we back it with a guarantee instead of a promise.

Start with 2 pouches at each problem spot: a doorway, the garage door, the shed door, the base of the deck steps. Along a fence or foundation, add 1 pouch about every 1.5 metres only where you have seen activity. Most homes start with 3 to 4 spots, which is 6 to 8 pouches out at a time.

No. Leave each pouch sealed as it is - it is made of a breathable material that lets the scent out slowly. Cutting it open spills the granules and uses up the oils much faster.

Yes, that is where snakes travel. Tuck them against walls, under steps and into the base of shrubs so they stay in place and out of sight. In wet areas, set them on a stone or a flowerpot saucer so they do not sit in puddles.

A light shower is fine. Heavy rain washes some of the oils out faster, so replace outdoor pouches sooner after a storm. Under decks, eaves and in sheds they last longest.

Yes: garages, sheds, under the house, roof spaces, cupboards and caravans. Keep them out of reach of children and pets, and away from food.

Keep unused pouches sealed in the bag, somewhere cool and dry and out of direct sun. Stored that way they stay fresh until you need them.

Snakes are most active from spring to autumn (roughly September to April), and that is when most people use them. In the tropical north, where snakes stay active longer, many keep pouches out year-round and simply replace them on schedule.

It is made with plant oils and corn cob - no naphthalene, no sulfur, no poison bait. Like any repellent it should still be kept out of reach of children and pets and should not be chewed or eaten. Place pouches where curious hands and noses cannot get at them.

Take it away and rinse their mouth with water. Concentrated essential oils can upset a pet's stomach, so if your dog ate part of a pouch or seems unwell, call your vet or the Animal Poisons Helpline (1300 869 738).

Cats are more sensitive to essential oils than dogs or people. Use pouches outdoors and in garages and sheds rather than in rooms your cat lives in, and keep them out of reach. Ask your vet if you are unsure.

No. Corn cob and plant oils are fine next to flower beds and vegetable gardens. Keep pouches next to plants rather than buried in the soil.

Yes. Wash your hands after placing them, and keep them away from your eyes and mouth - concentrated essential oils can irritate.

No. It does not trap, poison or hurt them - it simply encourages them to move somewhere else. Snakes do a lot of good keeping rodents down; we just want them to do it away from your door.

Used pouches can go in your general rubbish bin.

The scent is released as soon as a pouch is placed. Give it a couple of weeks and keep replacing on schedule - consistency matters more than anything else.

Up to 300 hours, about 12 days, depending on heat, sun and rain. Plan on swapping each pouch about every 2 weeks, so each problem spot uses about 4 pouches a month.

Usually one of three things: the pouches ran out and were not replaced, there is a food source (rodents) pulling snakes in, or there is a gap in the line. Check the dates, check for mice and fill the gaps.

Most people use them through the warm season, when snakes are active, and then stop. If you live in snake country, you will probably keep a bag on the shelf the way you keep insect repellent.

Simple rule: each problem spot uses about 4 pouches a month (2 pouches, swapped every 2 weeks). 1 bag (10 pouches) covers 1 spot for about 2 months, or 2 spots for a month. 3 bags (30) cover about 4 spots - front door, back door, garage, shed - for about 2 months. 5 bags (50) cover 4 spots for about 3 months, most of snake season. Bigger property? Start with the spots where you have actually seen snakes.

Orders leave within 1 business day and usually arrive within 7-12 business days anywhere in Australia. You will get tracking by email as soon as it ships.

Then you should not be out of pocket. Use the pouches as directed for 30 days and, if you are not happy, email us and we will refund your order.

cabin life is simpler with these

I keep these snake-repellent pouches by my cabin because brown snakes tend to appear around the woodpile and the porch. My dog noses around the same area, so I was looking for something I could leave in place without upsetting her. It does the job and makes it easier for me to go outside without checking every inch of the ground. The smell is a bit so-so for the first week, a mix of herbal and slightly musty notes, but I adjusted to it pretty fast. My dog doesn't appear bothered, either, which is my biggest concern. All things considered, I'm satisfied, even if the scent needs a little time to get used to.

Karen W.Townsville, QLD

A quiet little helper for garden season

This snake-deterrent is now one of those small garden items that quietly makes the whole space feel simpler to enjoy. I used it around my flower borders, vegetable patch, and the shaded corner near the fence. Those are the areas where I worry most because of mulch, leaves, and thick plant growth. The product was simple to place and easy to move when I needed to water or clean up the area. The scent is strong in the beginning, but it does the job outdoors and becomes less noticeable after a while. Since using it, I have not noticed snakes around the planting beds, and that gives me a lot of peace of mind. Working in the garden feels relaxing again instead of leaving me uneasy every time I reach near the soil or plants.

Mike D.Dubbo, NSW

Peace of mind by the patio!

The patio is one of our favourite outdoor spots, but I became nervous after seeing a snake close to the flower bed nearby. I set out this snake-deterrent around the patio edge, behind the chairs, near the steps, and close to the plants where snakes might pass through. The scent was strong in the beginning, but I was expecting that and did not mind it outdoors. What I liked most was how easy it was to use. I didn't require to spray anything where people sit or where we eat outside. Since placing it, the patio area feels a lot more relaxing again. I have not seen snakes around that space, and I no longer feel like I have to check every corner before sitting down. It helped bring back the peace of Mind of enjoying the outdoors at home.

Jennifer S.Geelong, VIC

More comfortable outdoor space

Our outdoor area is used almost every day in warm weather, so seeing a snake near the side of the house really made me uneasy. I was looking for something simple that could help make the space feel less inviting without needing sprays or complicated setup. This snake-deterrent was easy to place around the patio edge, near the garage door, along the fence, and close to the bushes. The scent is strong right after opening, but for outdoor use it felt acceptable and actually made me feel like it was doing its job. Since placing it outside, I have not noticed snakes around the main areas where we walk and sit. It has made a big difference in how relaxed I feel stepping outside, especially later in the day. For anyone who wants more peace of mind around outdoor living spaces, this is a practical choice.

Tom B.Ballarat, VIC

Easy setup And A Lot More Peace Of Mind

I picked up this snake-deterrent for yard use after seeing movement around the patio steps and deciding I did not want to ignore the problem. We have a pretty active backyard with a dog, a barbecue area, and a path that leads over to a storage shed, so I wanted coverage in the places we actually use every day. I set this snake-deterrent by the patio edge, beside the shed, and around the side gate where there is thicker growth. It was easy to place and did not require any extra setup, which is exactly what I wanted. Since using it, I feel a lot more relaxed going out early in the morning or later in the day without wondering what might be tucked near the edges. The yard feels simpler to enjoy again. If you are looking for a snake-deterrent for yard spaces that helps you feel more at ease around patios, fences, and storage areas, this turned out to be a dependable choice for our home

Lisa M.Port Macquarie, NSW

Really Handy for Dog Run Borders

We have a long dog run along the fence, and I was worried about snakes entering from the tall grass. I now use this snake-deterrent along both fence lines and around the dog’s favourite shady spots. No issues since, and I feel a lot more comfortable letting our pup roam. If you have pets, this can give you valuable peace of mind.

Rob H.Wagga Wagga, NSW

Comfortable Around The Cabin

Our cabin sits close to the bush, and a red-bellied black snake had been showing up around the damp area behind it. I set out several pouches near the back steps, foundation, and woodpile. Appearances around the cabin have dropped since then. The plant-based scent is noticeable outdoors, but I’d rather smell that than feel nervous every time I walk outside.

Amanda P.Cairns, QLD

A Helpful Addition to Our Retirement

After retiring to a quiet property in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, we quickly realised snakes were a part of our new lifestyle. We weren't thrilled about that. A neighbour suggested we try this snake-deterrent, and we're so glad we did. We use it by the home, porch steps, and garden path. We haven't had a single encounter this season. Retirement is about relaxation — and this product has definitely contributed to that.

Greg L.Tamworth, NSW

Exactly What I Needed for My Yard

Seeing a snake around the yard can be really unsettling, especially when you spend a lot of time outside or have pets nearby. That’s why I was looking for something simple to place around the property without mixing ingredients or applying sprays anything. I particularly appreciate how easy this snake-deterrent is to set up, and the included fabric bags make it easy to place around the yard, garden, or patio.

Sarah J.Penrith, NSW

Garage feels normal again

Finding a snake close to the garage door had me checking the floor every time I walked in. A pouch went near that entrance and a couple of other items were set out around the exterior wall. They’re compact, easy to move, and the scent stays noticeable without filling the garage. There's also very little upkeep involved. I haven't seen another snake around the doorway lately, and I'm finally opening the garage without immediately looking into every corner.

Dave K.Ipswich, QLD

Great for Backyard Entertaining

We often have backyard barbecues and summer get-togethers. One thing that made our visitors nervous was snakes turning up occasionally near the barbecue or seating area. That hasn't been happening lately. We began using this snake-deterrent at the start of the season and have had nothing but positive experiences. We treat the fence line and border around the patio and we haven't noticed any more snakes there. Now we can have guests over without worry, and guests are definitely more comfortable.

Michelle R.Bundaberg, QLD

Front porch feels welcoming again

Our front porch is the first place guests walk through, so seeing a snake near the steps made me feel embarrassed and nervous at the same time. I set out this snake-deterrent around the porch steps, near the flower pots, and along the walkway edge. The scent is strong in the beginning, but outdoors it was easy to accept. Since using it, I have not noticed snakes near the entrance, and I feel much better opening the front door, watering plants, or sitting outside for a few minutes. It helped make the porch feel like a welcoming part of the home again instead of a spot I wanted to avoid.

Steve G.Alice Springs, NT

More Comfortable Going Under the House

A snake was found near the stairs down to our under-house storage, which made going down there after dark feel especially uncomfortable. A few pouches were set near the bottom step, beside the utility room entrance, and along the foundation wall where there were tight gaps. The scent was noticeable without filling the whole storage area. After about four weeks, there have been no additional appearances or signs around the stairs. Doing laundry and checking the storage shelves feels much more relaxing now. The pouches stay neatly near the walls and are easy to reposition whenever the floor needs cleaning.

Kelly N.Rockhampton, QLD

Backyard feels safer for the dog

Our dog loves running around the backyard, and that is one of the main reasons I wanted to try this snake-deterrent. After seeing a snake near the fence, I felt nervous letting him roam freely. I set out the repellent along the property fence, near the gate, behind the shed, and close to the grassy corners where he usually sniffs around. The scent is strong in the beginning, so I made sure to place it where it would not be directly in his way. Since using it, I have not seen snakes in the backyard, and I feel more at ease letting the dog enjoy the space. It gives me peace of mind without requiring sprays, tools, or ongoing attention. For pet owners with a backyard, this is a useful option.

Brian F.Mackay, QLD

Patio barbies feel less stressful

We fire up the barbie on the patio several times a week in the summer, so the idea of snakes coming close to that area made me really uncomfortable. I set out this snake-deterrent around the outer edge of the patio, near the barbecue corner, beside the back door, and close to the landscaping stones. The product was very easy to set out and did not require any messy spraying. The smell is strong right after opening, but outdoors it feels like part of the purpose. Since using it, I have not seen snakes near the barbecue or patio seating area. That made a big difference for me. Cooking outside feels more relaxed now, and I do not feel like I have to inspect the ground every time I step out with food or cooking tools.

Nicole T.Perth, WA

Actually Helped

Our caravan had been parked near the bush, and seeing a snake close to the tyres made me uncomfortable whenever I needed to get something from the storage compartment. I wanted a easy product for the surrounding outdoor area, especially because we don't always stay in the same location for long. The pouches were simple to place where permitted, and they didn't require any complicated setup. The nearby area has been free of additional appearances during our recent stay. I continue to inspect the surroundings before reaching into storage spaces, but the experience has made me feel less anxious. The pack could include a few more pieces for larger campsites, although the quantity was sufficient for our immediate needs.

Jason C.Newcastle, NSW

A small thing that changed our outdoor seating area mood

The patio used to be my favourite place for morning coffee and evening conversations, but one snake sighting made everyone uncomfortable. This snake-deterrent was a simple way to make the area feel more protected without changing how we use the space. I set out the packs behind the patio chairs, near the flower pots, by the back door, and around the edge where the patio meets the lawn. The smell is noticeable in the beginning, but outdoors it becomes simpler to ignore after placement. What stands out most for me is the peace of mind. I no longer feel like I need to check every corner before sitting down. Since using it, the patio feels welcoming again, and we have not seen snakes around the areas where we usually relax.

Heather A.Albury, NSW

Good around stacked firewood

Stacked firewood is useful, but it also creates all those little spaces that make you nervous after seeing a snake nearby. I had started avoiding the woodpile unless I really needed to grab something. I set out this snake deterrent around the base of the stack, along the fence behind it, and beside the path from the patio. After using it, the area felt less intimidating. I continue to handle the wood carefully, but I don't dread going over there anymore. Before this, I would rush the whole process and feel tense the entire time. Now it feels more like a normal outdoor chore. This snake-deterrent for yard use has been a good fit for a woodpile area where I wanted extra peace of mind without making the setup complicated.

Mark E.Bendigo, VIC

Haven't seen any more Nervous Walks to the Shed

Our backyard shed sits close to tall grass, so opening the door had started to feel uncomfortable after two snake encounters in the same week. The pouches were set out around the doorway, near the back wall, and beside the garden tools where the space stays mostly dry. The smell is stronger up close, but from a normal distance it blends into the outdoor area. About four weeks have passed, and there has been no sign of snakes around the shed or the path leading to it. I also like that the pouches are easy to move when cleaning or reorganising the space. Instead of worrying every time I need a rake or bag of soil, I can go into the shed with a lot more confidence. Up to now, the results have been an improvement on expected.

Rachel V.Gympie, QLD

Useful Near the Garage Door

The opening under the garage door appeared to be how they were getting in after two snakes were seen around the workbench. Several pouches were set out along both sides of the garage door, beneath the lowest shelf, and by the driveway-side wall. The peppermint and clove aroma was easy to smell up close without taking over the whole garage. It's been close to a month, and we haven't noticed much activity in that spot around the workbench and storage cabinets. Doing little projects later in the day feels comfortable again, and getting something from under the bench no longer brings the same anxious feeling. The setup does not leave a wet mess, keeps the work area looking tidy, and avoids spraying the same corners every few days.

Chris W.Coffs Harbour, NSW

Useful for a yard near tall grass

The back edge of our yard sits near taller grass, and that had always made me a little uneasy. After spotting a snake moving near that edge, I started treating that whole side like a problem zone. I used this outdoor snake-deterrent along the back fence, near the grass edge, and around the corner closest to the shed. It was easy to place, and I liked being able to focus on the areas that worried me most. After a while, I felt more relaxed letting the dog out and walking around the yard. Before this, I was all the time watching the back edge and feeling tense whenever something rustled. Now the yard feels more under control and more relaxing to use. For a outdoor snake deterrent setup around a property edge, this turned out to be a very useful addition.

Angela B.Mildura, VIC

Feel Much Better About My Backyard Now

A few weeks ago, I found a snake moving through the mulch right beside my flower bed, and after that I honestly felt nervous every time I stepped into the backyard. I started looking for something simple I could place around the garden, so I gave them a try these snake-deterrent pouches. I set several along the edge of the flower bed, near the bushes, and around the areas where I had noticed the snake before. They were really simple to use—just open the pack and place them where needed. Since putting them out, I haven't seen another snake in that area. Now I feel a lot more relaxed when watering my plants or sitting outside. The pouches are also small and blend into the yard pretty well. Up to now, I'm quite pleased with the change and plan to keep using them.

Kevin S.Kalgoorlie, WA

Reassuring Around the caravan Storage Area

Our caravan is parked beside the house near a patch of brush, and finding a snake close to one of the tyres was enough to make us rethink the storage area. Several pouches were placed near the wheels, beside the steps, and along the edge facing the brush. You can definitely smell the scent during setup but not distracting once everything is in place. After a few weeks, we have not seen any new activity around the caravan, underneath it, or near the storage compartments. Preparing for trips now seems less stressful because we are not checking the ground with a torch before loading supplies. The pouches are lightweight and easy to move when the caravan needs to be driven. For anyone storing a caravan near grass or bushland, this type of setup can add welcome peace of mind.

Laura H.Launceston, TAS

Useful Near the Garden and Fence Line

A small snake had been showing up near the vegetable patch, usually along the fence where weeds and mulch created shaded spots. The pouches were spaced around the garden border, beside the gate, and near two areas where the fence meets the shed. The peppermint-and-clove aroma stayed noticeable outdoors, even after several hot afternoons. It's been close to a month with no additional sightings in the planting beds or around the gate. I was especially glad that the pouches did not require mixing, measuring, or frequent attention. Working in the garden is a lot more enjoyable when I am not worried about reaching behind a planter or stepping near the mulch. The area feels calmer, and I can focus on watering and harvesting instead of checking every corner before getting started.

Paul M.Lismore, NSW

simpler to work in the yard

A eastern brown snake sighting near the far side of the yard made me pretty cautious about mowing. The pouches were straightforward to space along the fence and shed. I haven't seen another one in that section up to now. The scent lasts well, and I don't have to keep thinking about reapplying something.

Denise O.Mount Gambier, SA

nice

There are thick bushes right next to our porch, and we'd sometimes see snakes passing through them. Placing a few pouches near the steps and railing has helped us feel more relaxed about that spot. The aroma stands out initially, but it fades into the background outside. It's nice not to need wires, gear, or constant upkeep.

Scott R.Sunshine Coast, QLD

MORE PEACE OF MIND WHILE WORKING IN THE GARDEN

A green tree snake kept surprising me around the flower borders. Since putting several pouches near the edging and garden path, I haven't seen it there again. The smell is strong up close, but outdoors it doesn't bother me. Working in the garden feels a lot more relaxing when I'm not checking every plant before reaching down.

Tammy L.Gladstone, QLD

A Simple Addition to Our Regular Farm Maintenance

The farm shed and surrounding storage areas had been attracting unwanted signs of snakes. The pouches were easy to place around the exterior problem spots. You can definitely smell the scent, and we've seen fewer snakes around the treated sections. I appreciate being able to include them in regular farm maintenance without adding another complicated job.

Eric J.Broken Hill, NSW

Did well along the garden border

Placed this snake-deterrent along the border of our vegetable patch. We used to notice snakes passing through the mulch, especially during warmer days. Since adding this, that activity has slowed down noticeably. Working in the garden feels less tense now. We didn't have to move plants or adjust layout. It quietly supports the space without disruption.

Brenda K.Shepparton, VIC

Useful Near Campsites on Private Land

We own a few acres of bush and set up a seasonal campsite for friends and family. In the past, we had to be very careful due to snake encounters. Now we use this snake-deterrent at the start of the season and reapply every few weeks. It's kept the campsite clear and worry-free. Whether for tents, caravans, or hammocks — it's a smart addition to any outdoor setup.

Ryan P.Darwin, NT

Easy around the shed

The shed sits near taller grass, so snakes had been showing up around it more often than I liked. These repellents went near the door, back wall, and wood storage side. Setup was quick, the scent remains noticeable, and the items stay out of the way while I'm working. They can also cover several separate spots without needing ongoing attention. Since putting them there, I’ve been a lot more comfortable opening the shed without checking every corner first.

Donna C.Orange, NSW

Covers the fence line nicely

Our fence line has several shaded sections where snakes had shown up before. These products make it easy to cover over one trouble spot with very little time spent on setup. The scent stays noticeable outside, each item can be spaced where activity is common, and there's no daily application to remember. We’ve had far fewer appearances near the fence lately. I also move a few between the garden edge and side yard when needed, so the flexibility has been useful.

Matt T.Bathurst, NSW

Makes Working in the garden Enjoyable Again

I used to love spending hours tending flowers and herbs, but after stepping a little too close to a snake one afternoon, I wasn't as eager to dig in the dirt. I tried this snake-deterrent on a friend’s recommendation and it's been fantastic. I apply it along the flower bed borders and around the compost bin. I feel more confident working in the yard again. Even the neighbourhood garden group has started asking what I’ve been using. This has restored my peace of mind during my favourite hobby.

Cindy G.Toowoomba, QLD

Nice fit for the farm shed

Snakes occasionally moved through the farm shed area where feed and equipment are stored. These items have been useful because the plant-based ingredients fit better with how I wanted to handle that space. They’re simple to position, easy to spread around several entry points, and don't require repeated applications. The scent stays noticeable while still being not too much to handle outside. We’ve seen much less signs of snakes around the farm shed doors lately, and daily chores feel less tense without all the time watching the floor.

Back to Enjoying the Garden

A snake near the cucumber vines made working in the garden feel tense, especially when reaching beneath large leaves. Pouches were set out around the outer border, beside the raised beds, and near the gate where the grass grows thicker. The scent was noticeable during the first week and remained mild afterward. It's now been a few weeks with no additional sightings among the vegetables or near the hose. Watering and harvesting feel enjoyable again instead of stressful. The pouches stay outside the planting rows, remain easy to locate, and can be shifted whenever the beds need weeding or fresh mulch.

Back to Working Comfortably in the Garden

A snake near the pumpkin vines made harvesting and weeding feel uncomfortable, especially where broad leaves covered the soil. Several pouches were set out around the raised beds, beside the hose connection, and near the gate where mulch meets taller grass. The peppermint-and-clove aroma was clear during the first week and became milder afterward. Almost four weeks have passed with no additional sightings near the vegetables or stepping stones. Reaching beneath the plants seems less stressful now, and the pouches remain outside the planting rows while staying easy to move during watering, pruning, or seasonal cleanup.

A Noticeable, Manageable Scent

Our outdoor seating area sits close to the bush, so snake encounters aren't unusual. The pouches give off a recognizable plant-based aroma right after opening. You can smell it from nearby but doesn't bother me while relaxing at a distance. We've experienced fewer encounters by the patio lately, which makes being outside more pleasant.

A Much-Needed Change

Spending time around our chook pen had become stressful after spotting a snake close to the enclosure. I wanted to discourage activity along the exterior without placing anything directly where the chickens could reach it. The pouches were simple to place in suitable exterior locations according to the directions. The plant-based aroma was noticeable, and I appreciated the easy application. We haven't had another sighting near the same section lately, which has been promising. I continue to inspect the coop, maintain secure fencing, and keep the product out of reach of the animals. The additional peace of mind is something I value, especially because caring for the chickens is already a daily responsibility.
