I have two black rat snakes in the workshop but I let them have run of the place...mostly up on the parts shelves on the mezzanine.
Had no mice for 4 months now. Last problem to fix is the skunk who goes walkabout at 10:30 every evening. I got a 22 coming for him!
Here's a few ideas to stop critters climbing... Rodent-proof construction and exclusion methods

When I was a kid my grandfather and uncle swore to me that if I could get a clean head shot on a skunk with my .22 it wouldn't spray, but if I shot it anywhere else, look out. I practiced for hours shooting at little skunk targets I drew and stuck here and there around the place. They had a good laugh on me when I finally got a clean head shot from about 10 feet away and that critter unloaded himself.
