Here are 4 types of plants that are likely to attract snakes to your home, and you should be cautious when planting them around your house:
1. Cactus
-
Reason: While cactus is not a food source for snakes, they may seek shelter around it or use it as a hiding spot. Cactus has a distinctive shape and thrives in dry conditions, making it an ideal place for snakes to hide.
-
Recommendation: If you plant cactus in your garden, be sure to regularly check the area and avoid letting weeds grow around it.
2. Reed Grass
-
Reason: Reed grass is often used by snakes to find shelter. With long, dense leaves, reed grass creates thick, dark areas that are perfect for snakes to hide in, especially at night.
-
Recommendation: Avoid planting reed grass near the house or the gate, as it may create an easy access point for snakes.
