My wife bought 2 dozen guinea chicks and put them in the house in the utility room in a cardboard box. The window there was open but it has a screen. One night we came home and I looked down into the box and there was a large Texas Rat Snake feasting on our chicks.
That was the only snake we know we have had in the house and can only figure that it forced its way either under the window screen frame or possibly under a door. Obviously the chicks attracted the snake by their smell or possibly the chirping.

That snake saved you from a helluva lot of annoying racket over the years.

I've heard of stuffing steel wool in weep holes to keep snakes and large insects out

Steel wool is a very good idea. Mothballs periodically near any holes on the outside may help.
