Keep Snakes Away: Kitchen 'Charm' Repels Infestation, Expert Tips for Safety

• As summer heat rises, snake sightings increase in rural areas, with snakes entering homes from fields and wetlands.
• Experts suggest mixing black pepper powder with lemon juice and sprinkling it in house corners to deter snakes due to their aversion to the smell.
• Other repellents include cinnamon powder, white vinegar, garlic oil mixed with sesame oil, and neem oil sprayed around the house.
• Planting aloe vera, snake plant, holy basil, and lemongrass near entrances and windows can also keep snakes away.
