Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire snake repellant

Here in Michigan we only have one type of venomous snake, eastern massasauga rattler, and they are uncommon, except my lab seems to find them easily.


This is second time he has been bitten in the last 3 years. Both times it happened when things were warming up. Mi. rattlers move to higher ground in the fall to hibernate and have little ones, so I think they're hibernating in my field stone retaining wall (on the south side of the house) and that's where his crossing paths with them.

retaining wall



Is there any type of repellent that I can use to deter snakes from taking up winter residence there?
