The key is to find where the snakes are gaining entrance to your house. Look for cracks or holes (the size of a quarter) in your foundation. Sewage and drain pipes can also be the problem. Block and/or fill in anything that looks like it could be their access point. Eliminate all habitat around your house such as leaves, tall grass or wood piles which garter snakes love. They hibernate in winter and then slowly emerge as the sun warms them back up. They feed on small rodents such as mice and shrews as well as insects. Inside the house keep things neat and tidy so they have no place to hide. Also vacuum all bugs that could be their next lunch. If you are unable to pinpoint where they are coming in make a trap of rolled loops of clear packing tape in areas where they are seen and they get stuck so you can remove them. They are attracted to any warm sunny spot, so keep a look out in windowsills etc. Garter snakes are helpful in the grand scheme of things as they eat rodents and insects. Their instinct leads them to warm places where they feel safe from predators. We just have to convince them that our house is NOT their home.
