Two nights in a row I have found small king snakes in my dinning room. How do I get rid of them? I have searched everywhere and can't find where they come from or if there are more. How can I ensure there are no more? Where could they be comming from?

King snakes are harmless and in fact, are very helpful to our environment. So whatever you do, please don't harm them.
Possibly they could be getting in underneath doors, through the air conditioner vents, through a dog door, through roof? If they are small, perhaps the mother had babies in your house.
You could call a professional exterminator & request he humanely remove them from your home.
If you had a good mouser cat, he could probably scare them away.
I wouldn't be too worried about it though.

Since you say they are small, it probably means they are recently hatched - this means there are two large ones somewhere - they can be in the attic, in the walls, in a closet, anywhere - it's best to have a pest control specialist search them out as they will have the necessary means of extermination and expertise. Otherwise, my way is with a hoe and by the time I get through chopping every little moving muscle, it looks Freddy and Jason had a free for all!

King snakes eat rats and mice and you may need to exterminate the rats and mice and then the snakes will go away...the exterminator will know what to do.
Make sure that you know it is a King snake black or brown with white , and yellow stripes.

I had snakes too.....Copperheads
Be sure to never leave your doors open, not even for 5 minutes.
Put mothballs around your doors and outside your house.
There is something in the mothballs that they don't like.

Don't want to alarm you but they can crawl up in the mattresses and chair and sofa cushions.
