What does it mean to have a snake in the house?
There is a folk saying that snakes are the embodiment of our ancestors. They go home to visit a family, or bring wealth and blessings to the family, or give people to the family. So don't hit the snake when it enters the house. Once the snake is killed, the family may face inevitable disaster.
In addition, snakes are also called dragons, which means good luck. Therefore, in folk customs, it is considered auspicious for Qinglong to enter the house, indicating that your home is a land of geomantic omen. When a snake enters the door, money enters the door, which means making money. Therefore, even if people know that some snakes are poisonous and unsafe to live together, they will not be killed.
However, these are all folk sayings. Nowadays, once you see a snake at home, don't drive it away easily. If possible, you'd better seek professional help to avoid injury.
Methods to prevent snakes from entering the house
1, that is, cut off all the weeds in front of and behind the house to prevent snakes from hiding. Snakes generally like to hide in some damp and dark environment. Grass grows faster in summer, so we should always cut the grass in front of and behind the house, and it is best to harden the ground.
2. Block the hole around the house. Snakes are reptiles. They often enter the yard or room through small holes. So don't give them access conditions and block all the holes.
Now there are some new houses in the countryside, which are not much better than the adobe houses in the past, and there are few holes. But beware of mice biting some wooden doors, you can install a screen window on the outside of the door. If conditions permit, a fence can be built and the hole can be blocked.
3. Keep a local dog. In the past, geese were raised in rural areas to prevent snakes and weasels from biting chickens and ducks. Because geese are territorial and aggressive, snakes are afraid of them. However, geese have a large appetite and are not convenient to raise. Farmers think it is better to have a dog. He is a good nurse and doesn't have to worry about it at ordinary times.
Dogs are very alert. Once they find snakes around the house or in the room, they will keep barking, which can drive them away and remind their owners.
