SAFETY TIPS

Repel Snakes with Mothballs and Cat Litter

Got snake problems? Mothballs are a natural snake repellent! Grab some cat litter and mothballs and mix them together before heading back to your slip. You can sprinkle the mixture around the perimeter of your slip, or keep the mixture in a closed container and leave it inside your docko for two days.

This technique works due to the naphthalene ingredient the mothballs contain. In fact, this ingredient is frequently used in many commercial remedies. It irritates the creatures’ chemical receptors.

Moth balls can also be hazardous to pets and domestic animals. While using, keep them away from children. Also, remember to wear gloves and a respiratory mask when making your mothball and cat-litter mixture.
