I used to run over the garter snakes I came across when mowing. Now I leave them alone since they do a nice job of eating insects. Same for the barn swallows and the mess they make. If you can do it, try relocation. I couldn't. I hate snakes and won't touch them alive or dead. A 12 ga shotgun works for me. You may want to try the repellant so it moves further away, yet still can eat critters close to your house.

You should have seen our techs when they went to fix a home test unit (I work for an appliance manufacturer) that broke. Control board was fried. When they took it apart, an 18" bull snake fell out. Looked for warmth and committed suicide by crossing contacts with it's body. Some were a bit freaked out by it even though it was dead.
