Moth balls
Try placing moth balls around your kennel and barns. Heard this helps keep snakes away.

I'm kind of foggy on how this would keep the snakes away from the kennels?

I am no expert on snakes.
Thank god I don't have to deal with them most of the time.
Unless I am down at the inlaws or something.
But I can suggest something. My grand parents lived in Arkansas and I spent alot of tyime down there.
My grandpa would cut every bush weed and peace of grass on his place.
He keep all the brush and debrie away from the yard, I was told that if you do that and keep the grass cut really short. Snakes will be less likely to come around sense they like to stay hidden in cover.

Food , water, shelter and space.........eliminate them things and you will deter your snakes.
Like Mr. McCoy said.......Destroy brush piles, wood piles, get rid of junk in your yards, cut weeds down and keep grass short, etc. eliminate shelter.
Eliminate their food source...most cases mice. If you get rid of the mice you will get rid of the snakes. Even though most rabbit guys hate cats, get a cat.
I saw this on the Crocodile Hunter. LOL

I have killed 16 snakes in the past 2 weeks. That makes about 30 so far this year. I've always been told that mothballs would deter them so that is what I use. Last year I was told about using the hair. Still haven't done that. I have a pond nearby so there are always snakes. Killed 3 copperheads, 2 cottonmouths, and the rest were non-poisonous water snakes. 2 of them wer 6 feet long. Non- poisonous, but definitely enough to make you hurt yourself getting away.
