The safest encounter with a snake is the one that never happens — and that's exactly what these repellers are designed to deliver.

We launched Australia's original snake repeller in 2008. Eighteen years and eight generations later, nothing else comes close. These battery-powered units are suitable for anywhere, sun or shade. This includes yards, under buildings, protected zones and anywhere reliable sunlight is off the table. Four D-cell batteries give six to eight months of continuous 24/7 protection. Double the deterrent mechanism of any competitor on the market.

Don't compromise when it comes to protecting your family and pets from deadly Australian snakes.

Eight out of ten snake bites happen when people try to pick up, corner, startle or accidentally step on a snake. 

Battery-powered units are built for the spots solar can't reliably cover — shaded gardens, protected zones, under buildings, decks and dense vegetation. 

For complete perimeter protection, run battery-powered units in shaded zones alongside solar-powered EnviroBug repellers in open areas. Together they eliminate blind spots across almost any outdoor environment.

🐾OUR Zoologist Advice

Purchasing a battery recharger that is suitable for D cell batteries is a great way to extend the life of your batteries and reduce e-waste.

Key Features

  • Double Protection — Unique to This Model — The only repeller on the market combining a sonic buzzer frequency AND an offset motor for strong physical vibration. Two deterrent mechanisms working simultaneously — maximum discomfort for snakes, minimising risks of harm to humans and pets.
  • Massive 40-Metre Diameter Coverage — The most powerful repeller available in Australia. One unit protects a 40-metre diameter — that's serious ground covered per device.
  • Works Where Solar Can't — Four D-cell alkaline batteries deliver continuous 24/7 power for 6–8 months regardless of sunlight, shade, season or weather conditions. Ideal for under-building, shaded yards and protected zones.
  • Variable Vibration Pattern — Alternating vibration and buzzing prevents snakes from habituating to a fixed pattern. They never get used to it because it keeps changing.
  • Extra Protection in Soft Soils — Buzzing feature alternates with vibration to transmit through softer soils where pure vibration alone is less effective. Handles the full range of Australian ground conditions.
  • Anodised Stem — Prevents corrosive mineralisation from soil contact — built for years of in-ground use without degrading.
  • Weather Resistant — Tough, Aussie-conditions tested. Heat, humidity — these repellers keep running.
  • 8th Generation Reliability — Continuously refined since 2008. More reliable, more adaptable and more powerful than any previous generation.
  • 12-Month Warranty — Backed by our local Aussie team. 

How to Install

  • Insert the batteries — Open the battery compartment and load four D-cell alkaline batteries before deployment

  • Choose your placement — Focus on shaded zones, perimeter lines and high-risk areas around the building

  • Create the hole — Use a metal stake or shovel to create a hole big enough for the repeller, then push it firmly into position — level ground gives best vibration transmission

  • Switch it on — The repeller activates immediately and runs continuously

  • Space correctly — For full perimeter coverage, space units so their 40-metre diameter zones overlap slightly

  • Apply LANOX (or a similar water dispersant formula) annually — A quick application of LANOX lanolin lubricant to internal components before the wet season extends the unit's lifespan significantly. If you anticipate flooding, bring the repellers inside until water recedes.

Why Variable Frequency Matters

Snakes don't hear sound the way we do (they don’t have ears!). Instead they rely on extraordinary sensitivity to ground vibration to detect movement, assess threat and decide whether to stay or flee. That's exactly what these repellers exploit.

The variable frequency vibration mimics the footfall of large animals — an immediate danger signal to any snake in range. Critically, the pattern keeps changing, so snakes can't adapt to it or learn to ignore it. A fixed frequency repeller eventually stops working. A variable one doesn't.

The unit also emits an audible buzz so you know it's operating. If the sound is an issue in your environment — near sleeping areas, animal pens or sensitive spaces — you can switch this feature off. Simply get in touch with our friendly customer service team for instructions. 

Battery-powered units go where solar repellers can't. Shaded yards, dirt-floor sheds, under buildings, bushes, animal enclosures — anywhere that sees too little sun for a solar unit to charge reliably. Run them alongside solar-powered EnviroBug repellers in open areas and you eliminate the gaps, giving snakes nowhere to settle in.

Where to Use Them

  • Can be used anywhere, including shaded areas
  • Under buildings, decks, chicken coops and raised structures
  • Dense scrub, heavily vegetated areas and protected zones
  • Along fence lines and property perimeters
Pro tip: Combine battery-powered repellers in shaded zones with solar-powered units in open areas for maximum protection across almost any outdoor environment.

Why Battery Over Solar in the Right Spots?

Our solar repellers are exceptional — but they need sunlight to keep the battery charged. In shaded gardens, underneath buildings or in any zone where the sun doesn't reach reliably, a solar unit isn’t the best fit. Battery-powered repellers fill that gap completely — constant, uninterrupted vibration regardless of the weather, the season or how much shade your property throws.

The smart move is both. Run solar repellers across open areas and battery units in shaded zones for full-perimeter coverage with no blind spots.

No Snakes For 2 Summers

We live right next to a big expanse of bush with fresh water all year round close by—lots of tiger snakes and dugites. Everyone on our street has a lot of snake visitors according to my friend 100m down the road. One even in a lady’s kitchen, lots in gardens. He knows everyone on our street and the snakes are prevalent. Yet for 2 years now we haven’t had any snakes here. The beep is very loud but we have them positioned for least sound in the house and away from the neighbours fences. I would rather the beep than the snakes! Also one was faulty and I was immediately sent a replacement. No trouble since. I have them running 3 seasons a year on a single set of batteries. Thank you so much! Great product, great service.

These are great thank you - they buzz every time there is any movement

These are great thank you - they buzz every time there is any movement. I was bitten by a death adder 3 weeks ago when weeding the new vegie patch. If I win $200 I will buy 4 more. Thank you.

The snake protectors are great - buzzing every time there is movement near them

The snake protectors are great - buzzing every time there is movement near them. I was bitten by a death adder in the garden while weeding and so hope they are scaring the snakes away. if I win the $200 I will buy 4 more. Thenks

Snake repella

This product is strongly made and easy to install. After having three various snakes inside our house over a period of a month, and almost standing on one, there has been no sign of activity since installing them. We feel confident that the product will benefit us in the coming summers as we have plenty of bush around the property.

Thank you for sharing your experience with our Powerful Battery Snake Repellers! We are glad to hear that the product was easy to install and has effectively kept snakes away from your property. We appreciate your support!

Robust and up to the task

I purchased EnviroBug's twin pack battery snake repellers. They are robust units that appear up to the task. Importantly, the sonic buzzer is easily disabled and I use only the subterranean vibration functionality. Snake season has only kicked off and so far so good.

I had a fantastic service experience where one of the units was delivered with a manufacturing fault. Their response was quick and courteous and a replacement unit is on its way. Thank you to all.

No Sun no Problem

We installed a large garden shed at the back of our property and I needed to ensure there were no uninvited guests from the large bushland backing onto our property. After having the solar snake repellers in our yard I decided to purchase the battery operated ones for outside of the boundary where there is little to no sun. Working a treat.

Peace of mind

I bought these to try as each year I buy the solar ones but wanted to know is there a vibration mode only option aa it is quite loud.

Hi thank you for your review and for purchasing from us. We will send you a guide for how to disable the sonic buzzer without affecting the vibrations. We're constantly improving our products as a result of customer feedback so this is really helpful, thank you.

Warranty

A couple of the snake repellers I bought last year are not working. Is there a guarantee that comes with purchase?
Others seem to be working well

Hi Jane - Thanks for reaching out; all our products come with a 12-month warranty and replacements were shipped to you on 23 August. Glad all is well with your other repellers!

SO FAR SO GOOD

Purchased the Envirobug Snake Repellers as for the last three summers have had brown snakes in the garden.
I initially purchased the 10 pack which I shared with my neighbor, then went on to purchase a further 4 to do my driveway and front garden. I think these are a great addition to help combat having snakes around. So far, so good, not having seen any more snakes since installing the repellers.
Thankyou so much for your product.

Hands down the best snake repeller in Australia

I was blown away by the coverage. It took me only two repellers to cover my yard. The product is durable and the scorching heat outside has zero effects on it. Highly recommended for preventing snakes.

Very effective

I bought snake repellers from Enviro Bug Control last year. Since then, on several occasions, I have witnessed a snake moving across the lawn towards a snake repeller, and then on sensing the vibration, turn tail and move away. This proves to me that the repellers are effective and I have just purchased some more

No snakes!

Since we put them in at our beach house in fairhaven we have not seen any snakes. I felt safe when they were installed and recommended them to other people who have taken up the idea.

I have not seen a snake in my acre and a half property this summer. I updated some of my older style repellers and these newer models are so much quieter.

Better than snake catchers

My first encounter with a snake was while cleaning the shed. Not pleased. My wife� called a snake catcher and after 4hrs, they finally took the snake away. I didn�t want to take any chances, so I bought the battery powered snake repellers and installed them near the shed. No compromise when it comes to my family�s safety.

Doesn�t hurt snakes or humans

I was a little skeptical about this product when I initially bought it since scam products aren�t hard to comeby. But this snake deterrent device offered just what it promised. Just placed an order for six more - amazing stuff!

Child safe method to keep away snakes

My son is just learning to walk and the backyard is his kingdom. Me and my husband were constantly worried about snakes in the yard (our neighbour had encountered one on theirs) until we came across these Snake Repellers. The coverage is awesome, it�s totally safe for kids and pets and I just suggested the product to my neighbour too.

Snakes were coming in the backyard and I was so worried about my� dog (Barney), and it just didn�t feel safe. Installed a few of the battery powered repellers around the yard. No more snakes to worry about.

"This our second order of the snake repellers and we find that they work fine. We spray the battery terminals with a water dispersant before we use them and the sloping face makes them last longer in the rain, however these sloping covers become opaque and that is why we need to buy new ones."
