| "Snake fence"
What I call snake fence is a 3' tall plastic fence - like chicken wire but plastic, black, available at Home Depot - that we installed along the perimeter of the yard, attached to the real fence, buried into the ground a bit. Only tiny snakes could sneak through, unless there is a gopher hole, which I have to check for every day. "Weak" spots are only at the gates, so we have to close them very thoroughly.
I have only had one snake in the yard since we installed the fence and it had come in through a gopher hole - and sure enough bit my Great Dane.
Apparently, they sell some stuff that smells bad to snakes at the "Do-it-yourself pest control" stores, but I have heard it does not work well and our yard is huge, so we decided to install the fence.
