i dont want them dead i just wish they would stay off my deck and out of walkways they have no concept of personal space we usually see a few over the summer but this year its at least 2 sightings per day what could i use to deter them they are ruining our outdoor time we don't enjoy the yard and garden and rubber boots leave bad tan lines we live in nb canada

Answers:
We occasionally see garter snakes around the yard, especially this time of year. If I walk by one, I may a little startled by it's sudden movement, but no more so than if a bird were to dart out from a nearby tree. From your description, it sounds as if there are more than a few meandering around your yard. Hope the info below is helpful. Hello to New Brunswick from Washington State!
