ShooSnake Snake Repellent   Frequently Asked Questions

Q.1 Why we need ShooSnake?
Ans. The very real threat from snakes is a constant problem, not just when you venture out into the wilder regions of the country, but where we live, whether it be in rural areas or the suburbs, in our gardens where our families play, in our garden sheds even our homes, they are always around but unfortunately, often we do not realize it until we have an unpleasant encounter with one!

Q.2 Why do snakes come and area’s they frequent?
Ans. Snakes are attracted to the places where we live for the shelter and food such as frogs and mice that are also attracted to our homes. Snakes need only a tiny gap to enter your home or buildings, less than 5mm( 1/4inch) they seek out dark places where they can rest, such as under play houses, dog kennels, laundries, chicken houses and garden sheds. Only coming out to hunt, snakes can be deadly if disturbed in there environment by inquisitive children or pets. The need for a safe snake repellent is obvious.

Q.3 How does ShooSnake work?
Ans. (1) Snakes have exceptionally sensitive taste and scent organs, a snake can actually taste. The air around itself, the unique blend of natural extracts in ShooSnake gives of a powerful scent and bitter taste, which the snake finds unpleasant, so it goes elsewhere! It does not harm the snake.

(2) Normally upon first encountering an area sprayed with the repellent the snake acts normally, but once it transfers the scent of the repellent to its Jacobson's organ (taste and scent receptor), many show signs of extreme lethargy as if anaesthetised, many are irritated and rub themselves on the ground as if in an attempt to rid themselves of it. 

Q.4 What types of snakes does ShooSnake work on?
Ans. (1) In the USA & Australia we have conducted trials in different areas, to test its effectiveness against the many different species found in America . Reports show it to be very effective against all snakes tested across the US Australia. It appears to be especially effective against RATTLESNAKES, COPPERHEADS and is also a very good deterrent to the troublesome COTTONMOUTH.

(2) Of course we have not tested it on all species in the world, but with the extensive testing that has been done in the development of this unique repellent, we did not find a species of snake that was not affected by the repellent and we honestly believe it is the only snake repellent on the market that actually works.

Q.5 How to use ShooSnake? What is the Frequency of application?
Ans. We recommend that you spray every 3-4 weeks from spring to autumn for continuous protection, although under some conditions ShooSnake can be effective for up to 2 months, with regular applications the effectiveness will increase.

In heavy rainfall areas, ShooSnake must be sprayed onto a porous surface (wood, concrete, bricks, garden bark etc) to give ShooSnake something to penetrate into. Spray every week for the first 3 sprays and then every 3 weeks.

ShooSnake will work more effectively if sprayed onto wood, cement, bricks, or anything porous. Being made up of all natural essential oils, ShooSnake will soak into most porous surfaces for longer, more effective protection.
Spray lightly areas you wish to protect such as under the floors of kennels, play houses, around all openings into houses, sheds and garages. We have found an effective way to prevent snakes entering under badly fitting doors is to spray the bottom edge of the door. Spray the underside of baby carriages and playpens when left outdoors. When camping we suggest you spray around the outside of your tent at ground level.

To prevent snakes entering birdcages and aviaries, spray around the places where snakes can climb up to reach the birds. Around water features and pools in the garden, spray gaps under rocks and decks which snakes find to be a particularly good environment being both cool and moist. Spray openings and cracks in concrete and retaining walls. Just use any household or garden sprayer to apply. No special equipment is needed as it is so safe to use, and does not have an unpleasant odour.

Q.6 Where not to use ShooSnake?
Ans. We recommend you do not spray directly on children, pets or livestock, although 100% natural they may find it unpleasant.

Q.7 What is the coverage of ShooSnake?
Ans. To cover an area of approximately 50 square meter you would require 1 liter of ShooSnake.
