The smart way of dealing with snakes around your personal spaces and work places.
Instead of finding them in unwanted places, use the Kief Snake Trap to intercept their travel route and catch them in their tracks!
Kief. [Adj] Afrikaans slang : sounds like "if" : means cool, great, awesome or neat.
eg. That's a kief car! (we mean snake trap)
This trap does not lure snakes!!
No. The trap does not lure snakes from long distances.
The trap works without bait because snakes naturally seek dark, sheltered spaces, which the trap provides.
Snakes rely on their Jacobson’s organ, which has a smell-detection range of around 3–5 metres, not kilometres — meaning bait will only influence snakes already nearby, not attract new ones from far away.
This trap does not harm snakes!!
The Snake Trap is designed for safe and humane capture. Snakes can enter from either end, and when they reach the center, the mechanism triggers the non-return doors to close softly in the same direction the snake is moving. The doors are engineered specifically to close smoothly, allowing the snake to pull the rest of its body fully inside without pressure or injury.
The trap includes a built-in audible alarm, which you are morally obligated to use to ensure no animal is forgotten inside.
This trap simply intercepts snakes on their travel route!!
The trap works because snakes naturally seek dark, sheltered spaces, which the trap provides. Once a snake has entered and is safely contained, both end-cap doors can be closed and the snake will remain calm inside the enclosed trap until a qualified handler arrives to perform the release.
Covid-19 drove me to invent this Snake Trap
Hello, and thank you for taking the time to visit our site.
My name is Noel Botha, and I’m from a small town called Robertson in South Africa.
During the COVID-19 lockdown, like many people, I was unable to go to work and suddenly had a lot of time at home. With the world turned upside down, I went back to what I know best: snakes.
I realised I’d been carrying the solution to a problem I’d heard about all my life—but had never acted on. I had the technical knowledge, the practical skills, and now plenty of time. So I finally got to work.
The result was the Kief Snake Trap—a safe, humane, and effective way to protect people and their communities from unwanted snake encounters.
P.S. Did you know Isaac Newton changed the world while in quarantine during the plague? He developed calculus, experimented with prisms, and formulated the law of gravity.
Now, I’m no Newton—but helping protect communities by safely catching snakes?
