They really do.It's amazing how they stay away .They wont stay away forever though .They hate the smell, but once the smell is gone, they will come back into the area. A 6" border around the area to be controlled is adequate for rattlesnakes, smaller snakes require thinner borders.
Spread the sulfur or mothballs around the area you have been seeing the snakes. (Try to only use it if snakes have been entering your home or under it, sulfur can be poisonous to other animals.) Close off any openings that a snake could be coming in through. The snakes don't like the smell of these chemicals, so they should stay away.
