Rattlesnakes will generally not attack you unless they feel threatened, and have no avenue of escape. Just make plenty of noise and/or racket, just like people do to prevent bear attacks. If you want to keep rattlesnakes away from your home, relocate sources of heat like dryer vents and make areas like underneath a porch less shady.

So long as the snake finds the habitat beneficial, the snake will live there. Garter snakes prefer wet woodland areas and they can usually be found underneath some sort of cover.

Other than that, they mean no harm, so you may just have a new neighbor!
