Rad,
Not 4 in 3 million.
4 in 300 million! More people die in the US from strangling on broccoli than from shakebite, yet we still grow that wonderful tasting veggie.
The snake you shoo away will go hide, and is easier to step on.
I will eliminate every hidy-hole possible, and keep the grass short around my pond. I believe in protecting animals, but I'm not a fool.
