Question
Hi, i found this page while trying to come up with a remedy for our creek lot. we live in central pennsylvania and have a creek lot that we recently completely cleared out. the lot is currently all dirt besides the very rocky creekside which is like riverrock. we want to try to keep snakes away because we do set up a camper in the area and have little ones. the lot is of course next to the creek as well as next to corn fields that we own. we want to plant grass there the soil is a mixture of sand. is there any kind of grass we can plant that may repel snakes?

Answer
I haven't heard of any plants that specifically repel snakes, but I have heard that this snake repellent is pretty good.  You'll just need to be diligent about applying it on a regular basis.
