If you put out moth balls and noticed a decline in snake sightings, it was a coincidence. I personally have seen them crawl right over moth balls, and there are many studies proving the ineffectiveness of not only moth balls but also commercial snake repellents. What might happen, however, is that the moth balls run off the snakes' food supply.
Back in Rooster Poot, I had a large speckled king snake take up residence on my property. After he arrived, I never saw another snake in my yard. He even took out the rattlers and copperheads.
