Depends on the snake , if a bull snake it's looking for rodents - rather have the snake than some critters .

had  'black snake' in the hose couple weeks ago, found him on top of the china closet. I dont like snakes, but I am willing to live and let live as long as they outside, given their usefulness, but when they come in my house.......well I had to dispatch him before my wife saw it.

Try a few moth balls around. They don't like the smell. I don't either

Could be worse, Skunks.  They too eat vermin as Rodents and infesting bugs as worms and grubs as well eggs of less than desirable birds.



Got back from Eureka Springs saw a NEW Burrow alongside front porch walkway, ended up sticking garden hose in and flushed These Out.  Damn Critters.

This one was trying to get to a barn swallow nest on my security light. I relocated him to the bushes near the front porch. I think the birds appreciated it.

Hubert, that sign on your door may be a bit redundant with that thing hanging there!!
