These rains usually send snakes into the waterlogged surroundings. They may take shelter sometimes in your house, garden, or yard if certain items or conditions are present to invite them in without your knowledge. Avoid These Items in Home That Attract Snakes During Monsoon.
1. Firewood Stacking or Wood Stacking
Because they’re warm and protective, it’s a perfect hiding place for snakes.
2. Open Garbage or Place for Compost
They attract both rodents and insects, and then they become the source of food for snakes. So no, it is not your garbage that attracts the reptiles; it is indeed their favorite snacks in your garbage!
3. Tall Grass and Thickets
A poorly kept backyard is perfect harbor for snakes. Keep the lawn short and hedge trimmed now and then.
4. The Falls from Pet Foods and Bird Feeders
Leaving these things outside invites small animals or pests that in turn bring the snakes. Always clean up fallen grains or pet food.
5. Open Drains or Sources of Water
During the dry months between rains, the snakes come searching for water. Open drains, unused buckets containing water, and puddles would bring them in.
6. Spaces That Are Messy
The garages, basements, or even sheds gathering dust from boxes and shoes to bags can become cozy hiding spots.
