Snakes are something that can be seen everywhere in Kerala, regardless of whether it is a village or a city. There are many species of snakes in Kerala. There are poisonous snakes and non-poisonous snakes. There are very few people who are not afraid of snakes. Many people try to run away from a snake as soon as they see it. If a poisonous snake bites them, their life can be in danger.
That is why everyone tries to keep snakes away from their homes and surroundings. But no matter how much they clean and maintain their homes and surroundings, their presence can still be there. Then they enter the house without us even knowing it. That is why Malayalis try many ways to keep snakes away from their homes. But how many people know that they can chase away snakes with the leaves of a tree. But there is such a tree.
It is the neem tree. Experts say that neem leaves repel snakes. The smell of neem leaves is unpleasant for snakes. Therefore, planting neem trees in front of the house reduces snake infestation. It is also good to place neem leaves near the door and window of the house. Then snakes will not come to that area. But sometimes the reason why snakes come to the house is due to some mistakes we make. Even if things are piled up in the house without cleanliness, snakes can still come. Always keep the house clean.
