Default Lowes sells "Snakeaway" an crystaline product you scatter

around the perimeter of the area you want the snakes to NOT be in. Yes it smells like moth balls but much stronger. Snakes have a very sensitive smell capability and dislike the smell of Snakeaway.

It does work. I have used it often around our home in the woods in the mountains, very effectively.

Consider them all poisonous and act accordingly. They do not want to be near you anymore than you them. The chance face to face encounter (or more like foot-yours-to face-the snake) is the problem....which is very rare.
