It is said that diesel fuel can be used to repel snakes in a yard. Another good method that can be used for repelling snakes is to spread mothballs along the perimeter of the yard.
Yes, stomping on the ground can scare snakes away as they are sensitive to vibrations and may perceive it as a threat, causing them to retreat.
Mothballs don't deter snakes directly. they may keep away mice and other rodents that the snake eats. If there is no food for the snakes, then the snakes wont hang around your house. I have heard that if you pour kerosene around your yard, they wont cross it because it burns or irritates their skin. Never tryed it but it's something to keep in mind.
Mothballs ineffective Animal's arent "repeled" from mothballs, but they may avoid (step over) them, if they were just placed there. Naphthalene and Paradichlorobenzene sublimate quickly, so for extended periods of time in the outdoors the chemical's would be so dilute. I even doubt they would be so much as unpleasent to animal's unless you fertilze your lawn with them. My answer is pretty much no. PLUS, if you place them near your house (say, under your deck or in an attached shed), chances are excellent YOU will be repelled by the odor, and will be constantly compelled to think about long days spent in your elderly aunt's attic (which, unless she stashed the cash she bequeathed to you up there, is/was not a pleasant experience). Now, we need an answer on "how long do mothballs take to decay?"Answer 2:Mothballs DO repel some animals. When used as intended they repel or kill insects such as moths and silverfish. There is some evidence they repel snakes and keep away mice or other pests.

The Dancing Mothballs experiment was invented by physicist Richard Feynman. This experiment involves placing mothballs on a vibrating surface to observe their movement patterns, which can help illustrate concepts of Brownian motion.

Bleh. Mothballs are gross.
