Keep your compound rodent free and the snakes will likely not come back there.

There is a particular leaf that will prevent snakes from coming close to your compound. I've forgotten the name.

You just need to plant it somewhere at the back of your house.

Could it be lemon grass?

I don’t know the local name sir, but I can send it to you. Or better still, if you’re in PH you can one over and pick it yourself. Choice is yours to make.

So let me give my thoughts.
There are a couple of ways to take care of pests. You may apply three.

1. Mechanical : Secure the perimeter of your compound so they don't have easy access. In the case of snakes, drainage channels, holes in the fence, clearance underneath gate, over hanging trees into compound etc. These are access points. Secure them.

2. Biological : This is what has been mentioned and advised I can see here. Snake repellant plants etc. How ever more on the biological means is the fact that the snakes may be following prey in to the compound. Rodents etc are culprits. So work backwards. Clear food and rubbish dumps that rodents come to feed on. Trap, destroy colonies etc so snake is not going after them into your compound. Water logged areas can also harbour frogs which is a good
Re: How Can I Drive Away Snakes In My House by kolokolobi(m): 8:41am On Mar 25, 2018
is a good snake snack. Then fruit trees that attract birds or even nesting grounds for them can attract the snakes. Eliminate these to cut down the reason they come into your compound. You could also use animals that feed on snakes like some birds, if you can.
3. Chemical : Use of effective ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY chemicals via spray or fog could ward off snakes from compound. This should be last resort having done 1 and 2.
Re: How Can I Drive Away Snakes In My House by kolokolobi(m): 8:56am On Mar 25, 2018
If I may add to the above. Your outdoor AC unit could also attract the snakes. Snakes need an optimum temperature to become active to feed etc. In cold weather when there's no sunlight they seek heat to warm up to that temperature. Under the car or even in the hood are good locations for that apart from the AC outdoor unit. In this case the mechanical approach may suffice.

I tried all leaves and kola to no avail. Then I used a snake repellant called Bon which I bought from a chemical dealer, the tables was very effective but the smell was so purgnant and harmful to humans, so you may need to evacuate your property for a day or two. Try fumigation migation too
