Clean the Garden
The most important thing that attracts the snakes is the bushes, rocks and the long grasses. So, you need to make sure that your garden does not have any of those. You can cut the bushes, trim the grasses and any rock should be removed. Snakes like cool places and often take shelter in such places. The best way to get rid of the snakes is to deprive them of the shelter.
Rodents

Openings

It is not only the opening but also the windows and the doors that should be properly closed and monitored to avoid any snakes at your place. Snakes can walk into any place and pose a threat to your life and thus it is important that you ensure everything is sealed.
