Hi Bonnie---we are at the 5053 foot level---occasional coral snake---saw one X snake but that is rare for here and it was about a year ago after heavy rains------scorpions ---once in a while----spiders are no more than the occasional like we would see in the States----what i have heard for repelling snakes and other pests are moth balls in areas----as well as lavender oil and dryer sheets (bounce) in areas like your closet and shoes----you may not want moth ball smell but the dryer sheets are nice and the pests seem stay away from that fragrance----we all have some pests---you just have to use the right one for you-------make sure you know that the moth balls are a danger to pets, pond koi or any small children---it is a poison if ingested---so be careful of that---but i have heard that this is the best deterrent for snakes we also use the pre-mix home defence around the base of the house to kill some of the bugs who like the inside of our house---hope that helps others
