Default Snake question

After 4 years we found our first snake on the lanai. We have a pool and we have been told they do attract snakes, however, the lanai (the big "bird cage") is pretty well sealed except for maybe the door sweeps.
It was about a 2-3 foot long garter snake....working harder at trying toget away from me than my wife was trying to get back in the house.
We are the type we throw all the doors along the back of the house surrounding the pool wide open when the weather starts to allow it.
Now that we have had a visitor, are there any tips to keeping them away? Out of the house?
Closing all the doors is not an option. I am not worried about garter snakes but if they find their way in so might the poisonous variety.
Just curious.
Well, I need to see if I can find my wife
