Kari,

There isn't really anything you can do to absolutely prevent snakes from getting around your house.

Keeping down rodent populations by keeping clutter away from your property will minimize the number of larger snakes, but the little ones you are finding eat insects, slugs, worms, etc., so there isn't really a way to keep them away from your house.

But since they are completely harmless, I wouldn't worry about it.
