Lets hope it heads over to the neighbours now, but he(neighbour) is very handy with the shovel
Snakes smell through their tongue which is very sensitive. I have heard petrol or acetone etc burns their tongue and I am sure they'd want to get away from it so surface spray may well have a certain workability.

Of course all this is not proven and we are talking about an extremely venomous animal. Lucky its not spring and mating time, it might be more aggressive.
