Solar Snake Repeller - How it works

This unique repeller has been developed to scare away all kinds of snakes; it emits a pulsing vibration about every 45 seconds, which the snake picks up through sensors throughout its body. The snake perceives a danger zone causing them to evacuate the area; most snakes will retreat almost immediately.

The sense organs of snakes are uniquely different than those of mammals and other animals. Unlike mammals, which mainly rely on their sight and hearing, snakes rely primarily on their senses of smell and touch.
They do not have moveable eyelids, but transparent caps called "brille" as protective eye coverings. Because of this, their eye movement is fairly limited. They also do not have an external ear, middle ear, or tympanic membrane (eardrum). Instead, they use a small ossicle (ear bone), called the "columella," to detect vibrations of sound waves conducted through the ground.
They are able to pick up some sound waves conducted through the air, but only at very low frequencies. Snakes actually sense the vibration right throughout their bodies via their spine, this is termed somatic hearing, where the vibration is picked up and transferred along the spinal cords to the ear bone. 


Other anti snake measures: The primary prey of many snakes is rodents and frogs, try to clean up areas where these may breed, keep food scraps out of compost heaps, clean up uneaten stock food, fix dripping taps and generally make your home an unattractive place for rodents to breed, if you are plagued by frogs attracted to the insects throughout the summer, catch some of them and relocating them several kilometres away, as snakes will come to your home in search of them. Clean up the area around your home removing any trash such as old roofing iron etc - a favourite snake hiding place.
