Snakes are a common sight in many areas, though they’re rarely seen. They’re usually hiding in tall grass and under logs, waiting for their prey to come along. If you’ve had issues with snakes on your property, you may want to consider planting lavender plants to keep them away. It’s true that snakes don’t like the smell of lavender; however, there are other plants that work just as well—and better! In this article, we’ll explore how to repel snakes naturally so you can enjoy your yard without fear of being attacked.
What plants repel snakes?
If you’re looking for a way to repel snakes, consider planting these snake-repelling plants:
- Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)
- Peppermint (Mentha x piperita)
- Thyme (Thymus vulgaris)
- Basil (Ocimum basilicum)
- Marjoram (Origanum majorana)
- Mints (Mentha spp.)—common mint and catnip are both recommended for repelling snakes. Other varieties include apple mint, orange mint, pineapple mint, chocolate mint, and many more! You can also use a combination of several different types of mint in the same pot if you want to create an even stronger scent. The smellier the better! Be sure to keep cats away from your plantings as they may be attracted by its smell instead of deterred by it!
Does lavender attract bugs?
Lavender is a perennial herb that can grow up to three feet tall. It has small, pale blue flowers and a woody stem. The leaves are long and narrow, with rough edges. Lavender is also known as lavandula.
The bees love it! And they will be attracted to the honey you make from the flowers of your precious lavender plant if you wish to attract these insects (and their pollination services) into your garden or area of cultivation. Bees are important because they pollinate many different plants including all sorts of fruits, vegetables and flowers like lavender itself so it’s important that we encourage bees into our gardens as well as other areas where we want them (like around our homes). If there are no bees present then many plants cannot reproduce themselves through pollination which means there aren’t any seeds produced; this would mean no future generations for any plant species!
In addition to being attractive towards bees/butterflies there are many other benefits from having these aromatic herbs around too:
- They help lower blood pressure when used externally by rubbing onto wrists/ankles etc., but can also be used inside by adding stems directly into hot water before drinking
