Keeping snakes out of a home, garage, or building is very similar to keeping out rodents. Closing entrances to rodent burrows make an area less attractive to snakes. In wooded, rural and riparian settings where snakes are common, their presence (and the presence of rodents) can be discouraged by eliminating stands of tall vegetation and removing piles of rock, lumber, and debris that might attract snakes to search for prey or to seek shelter. There are several steps to dealing with snake problems: making your property less inviting to snakes discouraging the presence of, or getting rid of, the rodents and other small animals they feed upon and dealing with any snakes that are already there.
