I would charge a svc. call plus an hourly rate. If he has a fence already, you are going to have to add on to it going under ground 3-4 inches. Then 1-2 ft. up and wired tight to the fence.This is a physical barrier, and will HELP stop snakes from entering the yard.No guarantees. Also do a look arround to make sure you are not keeping any in the yard. If you dig up a hole looking for snakes, be ready for bees!If he has a bird feeder, have him get rid of it because hes creating a place for snakes to hunt, as well as cutting grass, removing brush and rocks. Snakes are mostly ambush fellas so take away his game, his hiding spots, and places where he thermo-regulates and he wont want to be there.Most snakes need to be close to there optimum body temp in order to digest food.Changing angles of the sun are what force the critters to move from rock to rock etc. If they get too hot they head under ground or into garages etc. to cool down. Anyone else got anything?

Large glue boards work great for snakes, the ones that are larger then a sheet of notebook paper.
You can pour cooking oil on then and I hear that the snakes will release themselves as well.
They make and sell specialty glue traps for snakes but I have not been any more impressed by them then the regular glue board of sufficient size.
FYI, I do not recommend glue traps for rodents. I use them regularly for insect monitors and snakes, and have used them rarely for real problem birds.
