Milk snakes are harmless but can be unwelcome guests in your outdoor furniture. To prevent them from making your sofa their home, follow these practical tips:

1. Regular Cleaning – Remove debris, leaves, and clutter around your sofa, as these attract snakes seeking shelter.

2. Use Natural Repellents – Sprinkle cinnamon, clove oil, or vinegar around the sofa—snakes dislike these strong scents.

3. Seal Gaps & Openings – Check for crevices in your furniture and seal them with weatherproof materials.

4. Elevate the Sofa – Place the sofa on a raised platform or legs to reduce ground contact.

5. Install Snake-Proof Barriers – Use fine mesh or hardware cloth around the base to block entry.

By maintaining a clean and unwelcoming environment, you can enjoy your outdoor space without unwanted reptilian visitors.
