    Q
    Is Snake Away effective for copperheads?
    A
    Snake Away is mainly labeled for rattlesnakes and garter snakes.  However, when testing this product, if a snake was not deterred by the product more than 90% of the time, then they did not place that snake on the label.  Copperheads were deterred 87.5% of the time, but since it was not a 90% rating, the company could not place copperheads on the label.  That being said, the company said the product is still worth using for copperheads because it does repel copperhead snakes 87.5% of the time.

    Q
    What is the repel percentage for gopher snakes when using Snake Away?
    A
    Unfortunately the manufacturer could not test their product for every species of snake so they just chose the snakes that seemed to be of the greatest nuisance to their customer base. You can see the chart of snakes they did test Snake Away on by scrolling to the bottom of the Snake Away product page on our website. Gopher snakes are not on the list but what the research did find is that almost all snakes were repelled to a point that using Snake Away would be advantageous in most cases.

    Q
    Can Snake Away be used in Ponds
    5 acre pond has snakes, just need to get rid of them.
    A
    Snake Away is extremely toxic to fish and aquatic life and cannot be used directly in water. Also, if water moccasins and copperheads are your target, Snake Away states on the label that this product may not work on these types of snakes. You may want to resort to trapping the snakes or grabbing them with Snake Tongs when you see them and remove them to new location.
