Best Used For
Victor® Snake-A-Way® Snake Repellent Granular
Victor® Snake-A-Way® contains a unique formula that is third-party tested and effective against even the toughest snakes. This long-lasting snake repellent can be used to repel rattlesnakes and garter snakes from areas around houses, cabins, trailers, garages, flowerbeds, and more.
Sends Snakes Scurrying
Snake-A-Way®’s unique formula works to temporarily disrupt the snake’s Jacobson’s Organ (auxiliary olfactory sense organ), on which a snake relies for its survival. This successfully causes a snake to become disoriented, forcing it to retreat in search of fresh air.
Easy Application
Wearing gloves, spread Snake-A-Way® granules along the perimeter of the area you want to protect to create a long-lasting snake barrier. Once applied, the formula starts working, and lasts until the scent dissipates. To repel rattle snakes, sprinkle in bands 8-12 inches wide, and to repel garter snakes, sprinkle Snake-A-Way® in bands 4-5 inches wide.
EPA Registered Snake Repellent
Snake-A-Way® is EPA registered which means, when used as directed, it will not have adverse effects on humans or the environment.

Purchased a 4lb bag off Amazon. Use the product as directed. Before loading up my wood rack, I placed the product under and around the perimeter of the rack. The covered the wood rack. The smell is strong, but has absolutely no effect on garter snakes. They have been in and around the wood rack ever since.

I purchased a 10lb bag of snake away from home-depot. I used as directed from the bag & let me tell you, it was not pleasant. Myself, Wife (who's pregnant), & my son lives in a small 1000ft square ft house. I used in the yard & around the perimeter of the house & the smell was so strong. We have been smelling it for weeks. When the wind shifts the smell blows into the crawls space and then sneaks into the house.
I have tried vacuuming, & spraying water on the granules for weeks. (which help a little). I just want the smell gone. Bad purchase for me and I am not sure if it worked.
Works Great!

Have been using this for years around my house, yes the smell can penetrate the house the first day or two so you should avoid spreading it too close to your house entrances, give it some room and you won't have any problems. The smell goes away after a day or two. Not a big deal. Rather deal with the smell than with the snakes!

I spread the granules as directed around the patio as that is where the two brown checked colored snakes live and sun themselves. Next day plus they were sunning themselves on the perimeter of patio near their holes. And, now several days and they are still here.

Placed product around perimeter of our house. An Intense, terrible smell permeated into the house. So much so we were afraid to be in the house. We are trying to contact company to see if there is a way to neutralize the product. It can not be removed as we have decorative stones around the house

We are sorry to hear about this! Vacuuming with a shop vac is the best way to clean up the product. After that, you can then water it down to help break it down faster. The product is covered under a 30-day return policy. Please give us a call at 855-584-2867 for assistance.

This stuff really works, but there is a big however. We have monsoon rains and it gets washed away, and then the rattle snakes come out. That is where shot shells become useful. If it rains for several days in a row, it is futile to put down more snake away, until there is a dry spell. When it is dry, the snake away is not affected by winds, and works very well at repelling rattlesnakes.
Q&A
The label says not to use where snakes are already present. Why not?
Question by: Patricia Coggins on Jun 27, 2021, 8:00 PM
We do not recommend use this product in sites where snakes are believed to already be present as the deterrent effects of the product might tend to confine snakes to the treated areas.

The last two bags I purchased have had no odor when applying. Has the product formula changed?

I bought this product as it says it is safe for people and pets. Then I read some of the questions asked and it is mentioned that “if ingested” to please seek a vet immediately. Can you clarify how this is “safe for pets please?”
Question by: Kevin on Apr 29, 2025, 3:54 PM
Thank you for your message and for raising this important question.
When a product is marketed as "safe for pets," it means that it is safe when used as directed — specifically, when applied and handled according to the usage instructions on the label. This includes keeping pets away from treated areas until the product has settled or dried, as appropriate.
We appreciate your attention to safe use and are happy to answer any further questions you may have.

i see you say to not use near a water source or near streams. I am close to a stream, and I do have well water. how far can you use it from a well, or from a stream, to be safe. what is a safe distance from each?
Question by: sarah on Aug 5, 2026, 10:42 PM
Victor® Snake-A-Way® Snake Repelling Granules should not be applied directly to water, in areas where surface water is present, or where the product could be carried into a stream, well, or other water source by rain or runoff.
The product label does not specify a minimum setback distance from wells or streams. Instead, the key is to apply it only in dry areas where it will not enter or contaminate water.
When treating near a stream or a well:
- Do not apply the granules directly adjacent to the stream bank or in areas that flood or drain into the stream.
- Avoid applying the product where rainfall or irrigation could wash it toward the well or surface water.
- Apply only to the areas you want to protect, following all label directions.
Using the product in this manner will help minimize the potential for it to reach nearby water sources.

Is your product safe to use around bird houses; i.e., would it be harmful to birds nesting 5 to 6 feet off the ground? Generally, I’m glad to see snakes around, but not when black racers eat the bluebird eggs.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
Question by: Warren on Jun 29, 2026, 11:07 AM
Thank you for contacting us. Regarding your question, it is recommended to place the product out of the reach of children and pets. If birds consume the granules, it could potentially be harmful to them. This product has not been tested on other animals, therefore, we kindly ask that you apply the product according to the instructions on the label.
