I have heard they don't like tea-tree oil
If you have a squirt bottle fill it up with water and had in 2 teaspoons of tea-tree oil. They don't like the smell of it. Hope it works.

Just wondering are people allowed to kill them if they are doing harm?

I live in the country and I have a live and let live attitude towards black snakes although I will add if one discovers your chicken coop they will never leave because eggs don't run
I've seen a snake that size eat 8 eggs in one meal
But he can't live and let live by my back door
I've been dealing with him for about 3 days now

This big beauty has been here awhile. Bit larger every year. It's the one the LGDs barked at and then I shooed away.
It crossed the driveway the other day, DH almost stepped on it. =/ Idk how men have survived without women saving their bums all the time! He never notices a giant snake, but a tiny harmless bee he runs in fear from!! =/
Anyway....There is a little one living at my koi pond. It's a bit bad at toad and frog catching, but it still tries. I've failed at getting a picture of it thus far.
If you can, catch it and move it to the far edge of your property. Then try to find and seal it's hidey hole. Then work on eliminating it's food source.
I was just 3-4ft from this guy, back turned, before I realized he was there. He was busy sunbathing and ignoring me.

Oh, I've used a long stick or shovel to lift and carry them off with. Tiny ones I pin down and carry off by hand.
