The snake repellent is safe to use in areas where children and pets play. The all natural ingredients are biodegradable and will not harm lawns, plants or garden vegetables. The easy-to-apply granules will last up to 30 days and does not require a water-in after application. Simply shake the granules around the area you wish to protect, spreading the granules to create a 6-10 inch wide barrier strip. Sweeney?EUR??,,????'?????<
