I am a big fan of the Irish Spring brand of soap. It smells good, it’s got a great lather and it leaves my skin feeling clean and soft. I also love the fact that this soap isn’t tested on animals because I’m not someone who likes to use products that harm any living creature. But there’s one question I’ve always had about this soap: does Irish Spring repel snakes?
Does Irish Spring Repel Snakes
While Irish Spring soap is not specifically labeled as a snake repellent, it can be used to repel snakes and other critters. If you plan on camping or gardening, keep some of this handy!The soap also has a nice fragrance that will help you relax after a hard day’s work in the garden or at camp.
Does Irish Spring soap repel snakes?
Does Irish Spring soap repel snakes?
The simple answer is no.
Snakes are not repelled by the smell of Irish Spring soap.
In fact, many people think that Irish Spring soap may actually attract snakes to your yard because it smells similar to a snake’s natural habitat.
Will Irish Spring soap keep Critters out of my camper?
If you are concerned about keeping critters out of your camper, then Irish Spring soap is not the way to go. It will keep them away from your campsite and may even keep them away from your house, but it won’t keep them out of that little piece of heaven you call home. For that use, we recommend moth balls or any other natural repellent made with peppermint oil or citronella canisters.
If you don’t feel like buying commercial repellents and want a natural alternative, try putting sweet grass in some small jars around your house as an insecticide (you can also put it outside). Also consider using lavender oil for mosquitoes; rosemary for flies; catnip for fleas; eucalyptus oil for moths; spearmint oil for ants and bees; cinnamon sticks or orange peel sprinkled around doorsills will deter mice from entering homes (the scent also helps repel spiders). You can also plant mint around the perimeter of your property if you want to give it extra protection!
How much Irish Spring soap do I need to grate?
To make the snake repellent soap, you will need to grate about 5-6 bars of Irish Spring. I used a cheese grater to grate the soap into a bowl. Then, use a spoon to mix with water until it is well combined and resembles thick mud.
After you have finished mixing your mixture, use a spray bottle and apply it underneath your camper or RV so that snakes cannot enter by crawling on the ground around it.
Conclusion
If you’re looking for a natural way to repel snakes and other critters, Irish Spring soap is a great option! You can use it on your property or around your home to keep snakes at bay. Just remember that this method does not work overnight—it takes time for the smell from the soap to become strong enough to deter snakes. Also remember that there are other methods of keeping these pests away from your home or campground such as traps or sprays which may be more effective depending on where they live
