We have all been deceived! Experiments have proven that snakes are really not afraid of andrographis.

It has become our basic common knowledge that snakes are afraid of Andrographis, which is also used in daily life to prevent and repel snakes, but did you know? The snake is not afraid of Andrographis, and Andrographis does not drive the snake.

The snake is not afraid of the staghorn!

In the Chinese TV series "The Legend of the New White Lady", the Dragon Boat Festival to drink Xiong Huang wine, the White Lady could not resist, after drinking the original form, scared Xu Xian to death. Later theft of immortal grass, only to save each other.

The spread of film and television drama makes us believe that snakes are afraid of Xiong Huang. But in fact, some people have done experiments and found that the snake is not afraid of Xiong Huang. How does this happen?

A radio station in a program, the program to find three snakes, respectively: king kingsnake, five-step snake, and cobra. According to their habits, their path must be placed on the Andrographis scented bag.

It is reasonable to say that the snake should avoid the yellow scented bag, but unfortunately, the snake that encountered the yellow did not produce an avoidance reaction, the king snake directly from the yellow crawled over, and nothing happened.

The same was true for the five-step snake, which did not seem to be afraid of staghorn powder at all, even if it was stained with staghorn powder, the snake did not avoid the action.

Only the cobra showed obvious avoidance behavior, but experts said the snake was not afraid of Andrographis, but because it did not like the smell of it. But different snakes have different olfactory sensitivities, and it may seem to that cobra that Andrographis is not a good thing, so it showed avoidance actions.

Comprehensive experiments look down, most snakes are not afraid of Andrographis, even when encountering Andrographis will not hide away, want to use Andrographis to drive snakes, it is useless.

The program instead proved that the effect of garlic and wind oil to drive snakes are stronger than bear yellow, the program team put snakes and rats on both ends of a table, where rats are the prey of snakes, and these snakes have been hungry for a week, hungry for food they desperately need.

But between the two, people used Andrographis powder to block the way, snakes wanted to get close to the mouse, and you have to cross the Andrographis powder.

But the results showed that the powder did not stop the snakes, and all three snakes easily crossed the powder and approached the mouse's cage.

Androgynous powder to repel snakes completely failed.

Immediately after, the team used to cut garlic and Windex, both of which we know emit a pungent odor, but these smelled fine to humans. However when it was put between the snake and the rat instead of staghorn powder.

Miraculously, the snake was afraid to go near the mouse.

So does this mean that garlic and anemone can repel snakes?

It is difficult to use garlic and anthrone to repel snakes because they can easily evaporate in the open air, and the smell is easily lost.

Moreover, whether it is garlic or wind spirit, there is no threat to snakes, they just don't like the smell. When the smell dissipates, they may still enter the vicinity of the house, which will not achieve the effect of long-term snake repellent.

What are snakes afraid of?

Since the snake is not afraid of staghorn, what is the snake afraid of?

The snake is essentially afraid of its natural enemies.

There are many natural enemies of snakes, including the king cobra is the natural enemy of many snakes, the king cobra is also known as a "snake eater", whether it is a poisonous snake or a non-venomous snake, as long as the size of the king cobra small, the king cobra will take them as prey, so the king cobra infested places, there are generally no other snakes, some Indian villages even use the king cobra to prevent snakes. Some Indian villages even use king cobras to prevent snakes.

However, king cobras are very poisonous and dangerous to humans, so don't go near them.

Raptors are also natural enemies of snakes, and birds with keen vision prey on them when they catch them in the air, so some snakes have evolved protective colors to blend in with their environment as much as possible.

In foreign countries, flatheads can eat snakes as chili dogs, they rely on the ability of thick skin, coupled with long-term training in the field down the body, so they can ignore some poisonous snakes, and even as chili dogs, and there are even people raised the question "if the flatheads are put into the snake island, the flatheads will not be flooded.

The snake has many natural enemies in its infancy, and some birds, lizards, crocodiles, etc. will feed on it, and most of the young will die, and only a very few lucky ones will grow up and even become the king of the food chain.

In addition, if you want to be afraid of snakes, you can call the police for help when you find any sign of snakes. If you simply want to prevent snakes, you may want to start with their food.

Snakes like to forage rats, fish, frogs, and other animals. If you want to prevent snakes, you have to prevent rats first, and if there is no food for snakes at home, they will not enter your home easily.

Snakes are like an environment covered with vegetation and piled up with debris. So the key to snake prevention is to keep the front and back of the house neat and clean. When the environment is not suitable for snakes, snakes will rarely stay for a long time.

If it is in summer, snakes will enter the house to take advantage of the coolness. At this time, it is difficult for snakes to enter the house by simply closing the doors and windows.

If you are fishing in the wild, then you must be careful of silver-ringed snakes, especially for night fishermen. Because silver-ringed snakes like to move around the water's edge and also like to go out at night, there is an overlap in space and time with night fishermen.

The silver-ringed snake is the first poisonous snake, don't look at the small size, the consequences of a bite are very serious.

If you want to night fishing, the least you can do is wear long boots, long sleeves, and long pants to avoid being bitten by the snake.
