    What is the old man in the countryside saying that "snakes are afraid of grass"? In fact, it is a common plant in the countryside, the scientific name is impatiens, and there are also places called henna, and we call it peach blossom in the local dialect, which is the best herbaceous plant to feed. Impatiens bloom in a variety of colors, and due to the high survival rate, almost every household in the countryside grows them.

    I don't know if it's really to prevent snakes, a few trees will be planted in each yard or at the gate, and some people will even plant one.

    The reason why this snake grass is also called henna is because this flower can dye nails. Summer is the most vigorous time for henna, I remember when I was a child, I didn't know what nail polish was, and I often saw little girls who loved beauty getting together, and they would crush the petals and rub the flower juice on their nails, and the color was really beautiful. But I never use this flower to dye my nails because I can't smell it.

    Henna has a special smell that is very pungent, and I think it is probably because of this pungent smell that I often hear old people say that this flower has the effect of repelling snakes.

    Our family has planted our own vegetable garden, although the rural environment is very good now, but the vegetable garden is overgrown with weeds, and it is in the wild, so it is inevitable that there will be snakes. Last summer I was hoeing in the vegetable garden, and a green snake snaked through the weeds, and I was scared for a long time to go to the vegetable garden. Until this year, every time I hoeed the grass to that place, I still had palpitations.

    However, this year, the neighbor's eldest sister, who is adjacent to our vegetable garden, planted a slip of impatiens in the middle of the two vegetable gardens. I didn't notice much at first, until some impatiens grew taller and bloomed. The neighbor's eldest sister said that she also found snakes in the grass last year, so she planted some impatiens this year, and I don't know if it will work, anyway, I haven't seen snakes this year.

    Regardless of whether this kind of flowers and plants can really work, but impatiens do have a pungent taste, and what snakes are most afraid of is some special odors, such as sulfur, realgar wine, wind oil essence, etc., these substances containing special flavors can form a deterrent effect on snakes. In fact, snakes are also very afraid of the smell of smoke, in the summer evening, rural people like to enjoy the cool at the door, there are no street lights in some places, in order to avoid the black light blind fire encountered by snakes, some people will burn a bunch of weeds in front of them. It's best not to be too dry, so that there won't be any fire, but they will smell of smoke.

    Of course, these burning weeds should be able to give off some special flavors, such as mugwort.

    In addition to planting impatiens in front of the house and in the vegetable garden, there are many ways to repel snakes in the countryside, the easiest way is to raise a few geese or a few cats. Everyone may know that geese can fight snakes, but they don't know that cats, which look weak and docile, are actually natural enemies of snakes. However, there are also people in the countryside who do not advocate fighting snakes, saying that there is a house where snakes are entrenched, so that the family can prosper with wealth, and in my hometown called the snake Xiaolong, and the snake is "holy worm" with noodles pinched during the New Year's Festival, which gives the snake a mysterious color.

    Whether these particulars are justified or not. But any animal has a reason for existence, as long as snakes do not harm people, we humans should not harm snakes at will.

    The climate is getting hotter and hotter, snakes and insects are gradually becoming more and more active, good friends who often go to the rural roads have encountered, on some roads in the countryside, often encounter some snakes, some are quickly swimming through the past, some are slow to take the road as its home, some will even live in the middle of the road motionless, come to the front to see, will really scare people, for some non-poisonous snakes but also, if it is to meet the poisonous scorpion, it is indeed frightening.

    There is a saying in the countryside, called going to the mountains in summer, afraid of seven horizontal eight hanging nine entanglement trees, all refer to the summer is the high incidence of snakes across the road, because of the temperature, snakes also need to look for some of their own more suitable sites according to the change of weather, and then will often see snakes across the road, in the rest of the season is relatively rare, especially in the hot summer, this situation is very common, in addition to being affected by the environment, some snakes will also cross the road due to the pursuit of predation.

    There are also some rural old people who like to say that it will rain when the snake passes by, mainly because the snake can recognize the change in the weather, and will change its field before the rain, this point of view is actually a bit of a big truth, the snake passes by many are very fast, are very worried about being caught by others, and some poisonous scorpions will pass by slowly, sometimes you must be careful is everyone, summer has arrived, the scene of the snake passing by will become more and more common. Maybe it's because the animals don't have a defense against people, or maybe they don't care if people hurt them, but snakes are often motionless when they see them at home or on the road. It's okay to see it on the road, it's great to get around.

    But sometimes the snake that lives in the house can't be driven away, and it is standing still standing even though it is lying there or curling up and coiling there, and it is still standing even though it is frightened and half dead. Snakes have the meaning of being afraid to be caught, their hearts are strong enough to despise people. Whether on the road or anywhere else, when I saw a snake, I was the first to shoot it away, and I was immediately frightened and didn't dare to move, where could I catch the snake.

    Therefore, when the snake encounters a bear bag like mine, it can be regarded as gas. But if you happen to meet these warriors who are professional snake catchers and make money, they can only be meat on the board, or make Aquarius their eternal home.

    Hello, the snake is not afraid of people, as long as it is not aggressive, it will not attack. When the snake sees a person, it doesn't move, not because it is frightened, the snake relies on infrared sensing to sense the prey wheel model. Within its defensive range, it can accurately determine your location and generally attack you accurately.

    Snakes rely on the heat-sensitive cells of the olfactory nest or cheek celery to feel the environment, as long as there is a difference in temperature, the snake can feel it. In nature, the acquisition of energy is not an easy task, so animals will not carry out meaningless behaviors, actions, see that they can't slow down after eating the wax head, and there is no threat to themselves animals, snakes will not attack, but once people carry out actions, and the snake is judged to be dangerous. 
