I've heard that snakes r scared of cats but r they scared of dogs.I have 2 dogs, cats prob not good 4 me?

Question

I am absolutely petrified of snakes and have a very dark, damp basement in a much older house. I do have 2 dogs and wonder if they will serve as a good deterant

Answer 1

Well the cats would get rid of the snake's food source! My dog noticed a rattlesnake in the wild otherwise I wouldn't have known it was there, but once almost stepped on a gartersnake without seeing it. I think the snakes would hide anyway, not go away just because a dog is close.

Answer 2

Snakes are not afraid of or repelled by any mammal, even snake eating animals like pigs.

Just remember that there is no reason for a snake to want to live in your house. Most snakes found in houses want out as badly as you want it out!

Answer 3

Um, I'm sure if the cat pounces on the snake it will be afraid, but if there is a snake and the dogs or cat just happen to be walking around the snake could attack them.  I haven't ever heard of snakes being afraid of dogs or cats sorry.

Answer 4

i'd be absolutely positive and investe in a dingo or a jackal to deter snakes.

if the dingo or jackal becomes a problem, id buy a lion.

if the lion gets to be a problem, im screwed.

Answer 5

If you want to get rid of the snakes spread moth balls all around the basement and the out side of the house that should keep them out
