Is there anything I can put in my yard to keep snakes away? I am so extremely scared of them, and I know they are just as scared of me as I am of them.... but that doesnt keep them from coming into my yard. Please help!

snakes will come for one thing, food. if they are in your yard, so is their food. i.e. mice, moles, etc. if you want the snake to go away, you need to get rid of the food. either with a good hunter (cat), or some other poisoned bait.
i may suggest working on your fear of snakes, though. provided they are not poisonous snakes, there are many benefits to having them around (see above). they control the rodent population. not nearly as well as a cat (cats kill for fun most of the time, snakes only eat about once a week).

Get an owl statute... you can usually get the plastic ones that look realistic at places like Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Lowe's, etc.
Owls are natural enemies of a snake. Perch it on top of a fence post, or anywhere it can be easily seen by a predator on the ground.
Good Luck.

Spread lime around the house and especially under porches and decks.

An outdoor cat is always a good thing. My family usually has a mouser for that exact reason.
