This is the time of year for snake activity. Cooler temps and getting those last meals before the winter sleep.

Removing potential hiding places and food sources (typically rodents) will help a lot.

Quite often the snakes are in search of food or water and just happen to cross paths with pets or people while cutting through a yard to their destination.

Snake fencing your perimeter fence can help with this.
