HA. I did some research for a company that made snake-repellent when I was in undergrad (for an extended release fertilizer, not the snake repellent) and when I asked the owner what was in it that repelled snakes and how they had tested it he literally looked the other way and said "next question"... Which is why you shouldn't work with scientists that aren't on your payroll I guess.

But yeah, that stuff is dumb.

Even if it's foolish and doesn't work, I'd rather see people use that then awful glue traps.

Cedar oil! Because cedar trees, being something a snake would never encounter in the wild, evoke feelings of panic and fear.

That stuff is so useless, but I agree it's better than glue traps or mothballs.

Even if it did work to be true to the consumer they should call is rodent-attract.
