Mothballs. I know people say to not kill a snake. Eeekks. I hate snakes. There is a product, which they say smells like mothballs, called Snake Away, that people swear by.

I say mothballs around the perimeter of your home and keep them replenished after rain and such. One caution though . Years ago, we had an incident with a litter of stray kittens under my sister's barn who got into the mothballs and played with them (tossing them around apparently) with their paws. Then, as kittens do, they licked their paws. The mothballs are toxic and the kittens died.
