Default The product called "snake away" does work. Yes it smells strongly like

mothballs but is more effective. It is available a Lowes and Home Depot. All snakes are a benefit to the balance in nature. They eat pests of all types.

Yes, the good advice is treat them all as if they were poisonous. If you avoid them, walk around them they will go their way.

In many states they are a protected species poisonous included.
Unless you happen upon them as in weeding the yard or step directly on them they will defend themselves. Most will make a quicker exit you can.
