Bonide Snake Stopper
The Bonide SNAKE STOPPER is formulated to safely and effectively repel snakes, lizards, and iguanas using a potent blend of natural ingredients like clove, cedar, and cinnamon oils, plus sulfur. This mixture irritates the snake's Jacobson's organ, compelling them to avoid treated areas such as decks, gardens, and campsites. It is completely safe for children and pets when used as directed. The repellent is biodegradable and will not harm desirable plants. Apply by sprinkling a 6 to 8-inch band around perimeters, reapplying after heavy rain or every two weeks for continuous protection.

What customers say
Consumers highly value the natural, non-toxic formulation of Bonide Snake Stopper, appreciating the ease of application and the pleasant scent compared to chemical options. This commitment to environmentally responsible ingredients is a major positive. However, satisfaction is significantly hampered by inconsistent efficacy. Many users report that the product fails to deter snakes effectively, leading to frustration given the premium cost. Furthermore, the repellent's longevity is a recurring issue, as rain often requires immediate reapplication, impacting reliability. While some find it useful for mild prevention, the frequent reports of outright failure position this product as a niche deterrent rather than a universally reliable solution.
