The only poisonous snake in Norther California is rattlesnakes, and =
you=E2=80=99d know if you spooked one of those=E2=80=94they=E2=80=99d =
rattle. Lots of non-poisonous and therefore harmless alternatives. There =
are snake repellents, but they=E2=80=99re meant to repel snakes in a =
yard by broadcasting it on the grass. Not sure why anyone would want to =
do that, but I guess some people really don=E2=80=99t like snakes.=20

In general they don=E2=80=99t like ultrasonics, so if you get one of =
those ultrasonic mouse chaser things it will probably chase the snake =
out. Or you could just assume they=E2=80=99ll leave when they find =
there=E2=80=99s not much to eat in your garage (unless there=E2=80=99s =
lots of mice, in which case you=E2=80=99d probably like them to stay and =
eliminate that population. Unless you=E2=80=99ve hermetically sealed =
your garage they can get out, and of course they can get in, so having =
seen one is functionally identical to NOT having seen one.=20
