I have my siding replaced today. The crew found two, repeat
_two_ snakes hiding behind the siding panel. I went
limp... Sorry, nothing against the snakes. But they have
to go.
Any suggestion on what to do to discourage them taking
refuge in any part of my house?

Thansk, I would really appreciated it.

You didn't say where you were located, but, has it been chilly at all, as in
the Northeast? If so, the snakes are probably just warming up in your
siding. In the woods, they'd be sunning themselves on a warm rock. They're
cold-blooded, remember?

Your best bet is to ask the installers to try and make less of a gap than
the previous crew did, between the bottom row of siding and the house
itself. Or, take a nice, clear picture of the snakes and find out what they
are. Odds are they're harmless to you, and they may be helping to control
mice around your house. Who do you like better? Mice, or snakes? :-)
