    Q
    Can I use the Pennington Fast Acting Lime to keep snakes away?
    A

    Unfortunately the Pennington Fast Acting Lime helps to balance the pH in soil in order to produce a better growing environment for lawns and grasses, which greatly reduces these problems it is not labeled to keep snakes away. Please consider the Snake Out Snake Repellent to keep snakes away. When snakes come into contact with Snake Out in the air, an escape and or avoidance reaction is triggered so the snakes are actually repelled away from the product.
