How does this product attract the snake? Is there a scented device? Is the sticky pad scented to draw in the snake?

no, I don't think it is sented. I just placed the trap where I usually saw the snake and with in a few days I guess his curiosity got to him and he crawled in.

I don't believe it is. All I have caught so far is lizards and small birds. It will work I believe. Pads are real sticky

There is no scent as far as I can tell. Just put the box up against a wall if you can (snakes like to travel up close to the walls) and put something on top to weigh it down. The snake crawls into the trap and gets his head stuck then in trying to get free gets the rest of his body stuck. If you want to release the snake later, just pour some vegetable oil on the snake and it will eventually free itself.

I didn't catch a snake - only two small mice and some insects......the snakes crawled around it but either didn't go in or didn't get stuck.....

I think the sensor is pointing up and out- it's a little hard to tell because mine doesn't always activate the first pass I make. I would think a dog could definitely activate it especially if the dog was interested in the smells.

Mine came with one pad containing the mosquito lure that you just place in it yourself--you can use it without the lure, though--but, with it, mosquitoes are actually drawn to it, whereas, I think without it, other insects are mainly what it will zap instead--the lure insures results where mosquitoes are concerned.

It wasn't my intent, but I once caught a 2-foot black garter snake with these glue traps. It wasn't happy. They will do almost anything trying to get away. It probably stumbled into the garage overnight. I took it to the woods and let it go.Hope this helps.

I have had three catches and each time the snake and the insert were out of the box. The snake will try to wiggle out of the trap, but is so stuck to the insert that they can't get off it, but managed to get the insert out of the box. I just picked up the insert by the edge (at the tail end and not the head end) where there is no glue, put the snake and the insert in a bucket, walked down to a nearby wooded area, and poured vegetable oil on the snake. It took about 10 minutes but he finally managed to wiggle free and slither away into the woods. I did not want to kill it, just get it out of the garage. I suppose if it was a poisonous snake, I would have killed it with a shovel. I love the traps and would highly recommend them. Just be sure to put the box up against a wall, especially if it is in your garage.

K.B. you know i can not give you an honest answer to your question because i have never used the snake before,i would say that if you really wanted a real clean bore i don't see why or what it would hurt to use both of them together to clean your gun bore real good this is just my opinion,thanks for the question.

Short answer: I'm not sure. It is thicker, i.e., bigger in diameter and hence stiffer, than I thought it would be. Personally, I'd advise a smaller diameter snake.

Bore snake doesnt need the bore guide. The bore guide in combination with a good rod and bore cleaner is better...in my opinion. I like using a bore paste in combination with Rand CLP or Ogre Enviroclean.

It dosnt work. And snakes are not likely to cross anything that interferes with their sense of smell which is how they hunt their prey. Get moth balls and use alot around your perimeter - no guarantees even for that but in my limited experience, they work as well as wasting money on this stuff. You could also probably sprinkel lots of clove, cinnamon, herbs, pepper, jala[eno powder to fend them off. If you live in a poisonous snake area, ask an expert, which I am not. Just have grass & garden type snakes here but they are heart-stopping enough! Good luck!

Snakes have very sensitive smell ability and it is the bad smell that repels them. Ask your lizards if they are repelled by bad smells. ;-)

I bought this product expecting it to help with testosterone after the fact of realizing it is suppose to make your snake bigger. I have increased my weight lift and have more stamina, I guess it all depends on individual physiology. As for my little wee wee it has done nothing, did not buy it for that anyway.

You should be able to remove snake and reuse the snake trap. We haven't caught any snakes yet, so I can't give any real experiences.

Have caught mice and lizards...very difficult to free the lizards so it would easily hold small snakes...I expect multiple sheets in some sort of box/trap would hold medium snakes and plan to try. E.TN

Seeing the snake is unavoidable, unless the snake happens to be completely inside the trap, and you throw the entire trap away. But the other two responses today are accurate. Just one additional caution - The glue is very strong, so if you accidentally let the pad hit the top of the trap (on the inside) when are you taking it out, it might stick to it and become a real pain to get out. That happened to me, so I had to cut the pad with a blade before I could get it out. I'll be more careful next time. But as others have said, its not a problem though, because the snakes are REALLY stuck and cannot move (see my product picture posted, its a really big snake for the small trap, but still no problem.)

Apparently it repels all snakes, according to the label. It has repelled black snakes on my property, so it should work for garter snakes. Actually, both species serve an ecological purpose. I just don't like being surprised by black snakes on my porch, in my garage, and in my vegetable garden. Garter snakes feed on insects and frogs and are harmless. You didn't ask for all this information, though, did you? :-) However, yes, Sweeney's has a very sweet odor which repels snakes. I like the stuff.

I don't know; from a human standpoint, there is no odor indicating an attractant, but dogs may be able to sniff something. In any case, dogs need training in order to learn to use the pads. It is not like the pads would attract them like honey attracts bees.
