There are some experiments that suggests that ropes can be used as a snake repellent. However, the scientific concept about this idea is vague. There is absolutely nothing about the ropes that can ward off snakes. In fact, snakes have been observed to cross ropes multiple times. A study that was conducted last 1985 shows that a rope will not alter the behavior of the Raleigh snakes.



The Concept of Using Rope as North Carolina Snake Repellent
Using ropes as repellent have been observed in areas where clearing of the land is being conducted. The use of rope started due to the stories about the cowboys that are placing ropes in their bed when they sleep. In fact, you may have heard a similar story about the use of rope repellent in your state. Unfortunately, this has been proven ineffective.

Ropes Will Not Repel Snakes
Some people will tie ropes in front of their house hoping that it will repel snakes. In case you believe this theory, then a snake might catch you off guard. You will be surprised that most species of snakes will not have a remarkable eyesight. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that they will recognize the rope in front of your house. Snakes are persistent creature, nothing will stop them especially if there is an abundance of food source in your yard.

How to Avoid Attracting the Attention of Raleigh Snakes
Instead of acting silly by using a rope as a repellent, there are different ways on how you can make your property less-desirable to snakes. For instance, you can clear the debris that the snakes can use to conceal their body. Snakes like to move in areas with different opportunities to conceal their presence. You must maintain the length of the grass to its appropriate length. Eliminate the wood piles and other debris in your yard.

Other elements that can serve as a magnet to the snakes would be a rodent and insect infestation. By eliminating the infestation, you can eliminate the food sources of the snake. Snakes also love to dwell in the dark space of our house. Constructing barriers or installing snake fence can keep the slithering serpent at bay. Repellents will not work against the snakes and even on the off chance that they do, it will only bring you a short-term result.

The presence of snakes is not actually a bad thing. They help in controlling the population of the rodent. Therefore, they are even considered beneficial in agricultural setting. Most snakes are harmless and will choose to leave your property if you give them enough opportunities to escape. They will not launch an attack unless they were provoked. Nonetheless, it would be wise to keep away from them in case you do not know how to determine a venomous from a non-venomous snake. You should allow the professional to deal with them since they are equipped with the right tools to restrain the movement of the snake and release them to a more desirable setting.
