The moth ball deal works about as well as Snake-a-Way and costs less.
It is too late in the season to use either for snake eradication. The stuff works by confusing the critter's Jacob's Gland. If you wait untilt he have populated an area they might leave or they may become confused and stay very close inside the perimeter.
I used moth balls under the house and scattered around the yard this spring and still see a no-shoulders every now and then as well as finding a 3.5' snakeskin next to my cabin this week the the TN hills. But no copperheads this year, or at least not yet.
Kind of got to watch where you step. It won't affect them being in the water, but keeping the grass low helps reduce the main reason snakes hang around,...food.
The snakes are just trying to make a living, too.
