what to do about snakes in the garden?

My daughter recently bought a home with a beautiful space for her garden
but the yard is run over with garden snakes. She spends her time in the
garden killing them with a shovel or pitchfork and chops up 5 or 6 every
time she mows the lawn. She has stuffed the "holes" with moth balls
(an exterminators suggestion) but they just come out in "families" only
to return at another site. Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.
