The original and patented Snake Guard® Snake Trap is IMPROVED with a wax coating for weather resistance! It’s safe, effective, humane, and easy to use. Snakes can be caught and relocated without harming them or you, and the No-Touch Removal System eliminates the need to handle snakes. The Snake Guard Snake Trap is made in the USA from completely biodegradable materials and is safe for the environment. The Snake Guard Snake Trap is quickly assembled in three easy steps. Once assembled, place the trap along a vertical surface in areas where snakes are likely to frequent, such as basements, garages, storage facilities, tiered yard areas, etc. To ensure snake does not “squeeze” between the wall and the trap, anchor with a small piece of duct tape at each end. When a snake enters it becomes entangled in the glue inside. It can be released at a new location by pouring vegetable oil across the snake and glue. The Snake Guard Snake Trap makes capturing snakes at home simple and cost-effective. Though weather-resistant, use care and avoid placing in wet areas, or where sprinklers systems are in use. The Snake Guard Snake Trap is 100% Biodegradable! How It Works: The easily assembled Snake Guard® Snake Trap uses a specially formulated and strategically placed glue inside a rectangular box which is 18 inches wide, 30 inches long and 3 inches high. The trap design allows for snake entry from either end, after it has been placed and stabilized against a wall or other vertical surface. The following picture sequence shows the result of proper trap placement. How to use the Snake Guard® Snake Trap: Set the trap: Snake enters trap: Snake is trapped: Captured-Now What? Snakes are important in maintaining a proper ecological balance and we encourage their release. If you have concerns about releasing the trapped snake yourself, you may prefer to call a local exterminator, wildlife rescue center or other appropriate animal control agency for assistance in removing the trap. To release the snake yourself, you should first relocate the trap to a remote, shaded location away from the area of capture. After carefully opening the trap to expose the snake, pour liberal amounts of vegetable cooking oil on the snake and on the glue surrounding it. The snake will typically be able to free itself within an hour.
