What can I use that is safe for people and plants to deter the snakes from hanging out in front of the doors and sidewalks of our business?

Currently there are no snake repellants that have been proven to be effective. Mothballs are not effective. Silt fencing can be used to discourage snakes from entering from a neighboring area. See this fact sheet from the University of Florida for more information: http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/uw227

Keep in mind that snakes can be important predators of rats and mice.
