    If its permitted to get a mongoose in your area, they eat snakes. Might not be permitted tho. They brought mongoose (s??) to Hawai’i and regret it now. But no snakes.

    If the snakes aren’t venomous, why be so concerned?

    Call animal control and tell them about the snakes/nests and they should come out and get rid of them for you. Another thing you can do is get some cats and keep them outdoors – cats can kill snakes and/or scare them away.

    Maybe if they can be transported somehow that would be nice, otherwise just leave them alone. Hopefully by “get rid” you don’t mean exterminate that’s just bad. Even still, how would you feel if someone just came by and removed you, or your children (if any) because someone felt a bit threatened by you?

    mothballs don’t repel much of anything but the actually do repel snakes. Once the adults leave you can safely move or get rid of the eggs.
