How Certain Plants May Encourage Snakes to Stay in Your Yard…

Why Snakes Are Drawn to Certain Gardens

Snakes don’t seek out flowers or shrubs for food. Instead, they’re looking for three essentials:

• Shelter from predators and extreme temperatures
• A steady supply of prey, such as mice, frogs, insects, and lizards
• Access to water and cool hiding places

Dense vegetation, overgrown landscaping, and thick ground cover often provide exactly what snakes need.
