How to Get the Snake Scent Out of Your Home
- 1). Assess where the snake scent is coming from. Sometimes snakes make nests in your home such as under floorboards or in a garage, the leftover droppings or a carcass omits smell. Follow your nose and sniff out the problem area.
- 2). Sweep up droppings. Use the dustpan and brush to clean out the snake's tank, or scoop up droppings where snakes have been living. Make sure you put this waste in a bin outside of the home to get rid of the scent.
- 3). Mix a squirt of detergent and disinfectant into the hot water. Put the gloves on to protect your hands.
- 4). Scrub the snake's tank, or the area which you cleaned of snake droppings. Use a wire brush to lift up debris caked onto the surface. Get into crevices and holes surrounding the area to perform a thorough clean.
- 5). Spray air freshener around the home, or light incense to disguise the smell while it disperses. The lingering snake scent can be covered up until it has dispersed.
- 6). Boil the cinnamon stick, orange peel and cup of water in a pan until it is boiling. Then transfer the mixture into a cup. Put in the area where you have sniffed out the smell, and let the scent emit to mask the odor.
