2. Rosemary
Rosemary is a well-known culinary herb valued for its fragrance and versatility. However, its thick, bushy growth can provide shade and shelter that snakes find appealing. When grown close to walls or in warm, quiet areas of the garden, rosemary can unintentionally become a hiding spot for snakes.
3. Mint
Mint is commonly grown for its refreshing aroma and medicinal uses. While it’s often thought of as a natural repellent for insects, mint can actually attract snakes. The plant prefers moist soil and shaded conditions, which are environments snakes naturally seek out. Planting mint near doorways or dark corners may increase the risk of snake activity.
