Yep - get a cat. They are the best predators to take care of snakes, voles, rats, mice, and the occasional squirrel.

And the problem would be what? Snakes are (okay, usually) unobtrusive critters that eat bugs and other nasties like mice and things that would like to invade your home through the same holes the snake got in through. Rather have the snake -- it's cleaner. If it gets too close, chase with a broom -- they really don't like us too much. Learn to identify to protect yourself, just in case you do run in to the unlikely case of a poison one (depends on where you live, of course, I understand that -- around here we're pretty safe, but most "house" snakes are things like garter snakes and such). And relax a bit. If you keep the underbrush clean around the base of the house, you'll have less likehood of seeing them, but they really aren't all that bad.

The moth balls work, so does the deisel, so does the lime, so does the snake away.
My husband and I used a balck snake to keep the others away. They are non-poisonous and very territorial. They kill and eat the other snakes and won't mess with you as long as you respect them.

Oh my God.........where do you live? In the boondocks?
Snakes? In the garage and in and around the home? New one on me.
Sorry, I really do not have an answer for you but I was shocked to read your question.

try snake away or moth balls. my husband used to spray diesel around our yard. they don't like the smell. of course you have to put up with the smell.

Place mothballs around the perimiter of your house and yard and they should go away.

get some powdered lime from the hrdwr store and put it next to the foundation. they hate it, it stings their scales. does not harm the grass either.

Moth balls. Put them out around the area you don't want them in. I saw it on Dirty Jobs, haha.

Let them inside! Just joking. where I live, in Africa, we burn old tyres. The smoke drives them away.
