hello Sir
u can easily grow the below species to control snakes
1) Wormwood (Artemisia)
Artemisia vulgaris (mugwort or common wormwood) occasionally known as Felon Herb, Chrysanthemum Weed, Wild Wormwood, Old uncle Henry, Sailor’s Tobacco, Naughty Man, Old Man or St. John’s Plant (not St John’s wort).
It is a very common plant growing on nitrogenous soils such as waste places and roadsides. It is a tall herbaceous perennial plant with a woody root.
The down side of this plant is that it is an aggressive and invasice plant that takes over wherever it is planted which leads to another issue of management control.
2) Tulbaghia Violacea
Tulbaghia violacea is a popular garden plant that is useful for difficult hot corners of the garden as it will tolerate prolonged drought.
It is also a very good snake repellent.
3) West Indian Lemon Grass (Cymbopogon citratus)
Snakes don’t like the citrus smell from the leaves.
The leaves or the tips can turn brown in extreme heat in summer.
It requires very little care.
4) Sarpgandha (Rauwolfia serpentina)
Known by a variety of local names such as Sarpagandha, Indian Snake root and Insanity herb, this plant is known for its ability to repell away snakes.
5) Andrographis paniculata
Andrographis paniculata is widely cultivated in south Asia for the treatment of some infectious disease.
