Any suggestions on keeping blind snakes out of my house? They appeared last year about this time and after several weeks vanished. They are now back. I have 2 toddlers and a baby on the way and cannot stand these things! They appear to be coming out from under the baseboards. We have pest control here regularly to treat for bugs, spiders, etc.
Our biggest issue is finding something that our toddlers won’t want to mess with (sticky traps are just asking for little fingers to play with them). We are also looking for a cost effective option as our budget is very tight.
First, if you’re on a tight budget, you should consider doing your own pest control. We sell whatever it is your local pest control service would use and if you would like to save the bulk of that cost, get our products (after you read our article so you know what’s involved) and we assure you the effort will pay off immensely.
Second, controlling the blind snake problem you have would an easy fix. If you read our blind snake control article you’ll see what’s needed, that article can be found on our site here:
So in the article you’ll learn about a range of products that can be employed. Based on your situation, the fix would be obvious (to me).
First, get some BLACK SNAKE SULFUR applied around the homes exterior.
Next, spray PEST RID SPRAY on the foundation and any crack or crevice where you think they might be living.
Pest Rid is a strong repellent and will immediately force away any snake, reptile, amphibian and even insects from the treated area. Made with food grade actives, Pest Rid poses no hazard to people or pets so it won’t be a problem for use around children. Most important, Pest Rid works fast. So for your situation, here’s how you should proceed.
Now because the Pest Rid will chase the snakes away immediately, you need to give them an exit path. That means you should not treat the outside first. In fact you’ll want to spray the baseboards of any room inside the home first. Do this in the morning and allow the treatment to sit all day and then you’ll need to wait another day before you do any outside treatments. This way the snakes inside the home will be able to move outside unimpeded.
So after two days of settling, you’ll need to spray the outside foundation. This way more won’t come back. And from that point forward if you spray the homes exterior foundation once a month, they won’t return.

We have blind snakes appearing every August/September in one room only which is on an outside wall. We have sealed the baseboard to the drywall and the tile floor, tape around outlets and switch plates. Can they get into the attic and drop down the ceiling vents? How do they gent into the house? Our house is on a slab foundation and has brick exterior. The top of the slab is about 6 inches above grade and their are weep holes about every 10 inches. Can these snakes crawl up the foundation and into the weep holes? This room is a bedroom and my son does not want to sleep in this room. I hope you can give me some suggestions as to how to get rid of them forever.
Thank you for your help.

Tech Support: They can but its not likely. Blind snakes are most comfortable at “ground” level and are most likely entering there.
How do they gent into the house?
Tech Support: Too many options to list frankly. And side note, trying to stop them? It won’t work. You’ll need to treat with our products, all listed above, if you want this invasion to end.
