I hope the snake-away product works for you - never worked for me. My only way of leaving all the snakes behind from Florida and Virginia Beach was to have my husband retire from the Navy and move to the "Great White North" of the NY Finger Lakes with winters that can run from September to June. I was lucky, but had several friends with "home invasions"; they are quite talented at finding the tiniest of cracks. For those in non-poisonous surroundings, a large Tomcat works well. My pack of dogs seem to have kept most away.
