Africa is home to some of the world's deadliest snakes! A good example is the black mamba, pythons, and cobras. And if you thought they could not invade homes, you are mistaken. When the weather conditions become unfavorable outdoors, for instance, during heavy rains, these venomous invaders sneak into homes through gaps around doors or cracks in the foundation.  

Snakes prefer to hide in the deepest corners of your home, attic, basement,  or bed because they'd rather avoid all human contact, but remember that they can end up nearly anywhere in the house. 

Are Invasive Snakes Dangerous? 

Puff adder, a common invader and the primary cause of bites and injuries in Kenya does not move fast. Instead, it camouflages, so you'll hardly notice it on your property. 

People frequently and unintentionally step on it as it lies in waiting for prey. Venom from a puff adder bite causes excruciating pain, swelling, and cell damage, while venom from black mamba causes paralysis and death within hours!

Research by The Pan African Medical Journal found that snake bites alone were responsible for 27% of deaths in only some selected areas of Kenya! According to the Documentary Film 'Minutes To Die', at least 20,000 Africans die from snake bites each year, and 1,000 of those deaths are in Kenya! 

So, you want to take action immediately if you notice or suspect a snake invasion on your property. While seeking professional help is the safest and most effective way to deal with a snake attack, some highly effective snake repellents will repel and keep snakes away from your home for good.

Luckily for you, we have done all the legwork and compiled a list of the most effective snake repellents in Kenya below:
