I doubt that would work. Your best bet would be hitting the ground hard a few times with a walking stick or similar. Snakes are sensitive to vibrations in the ground, and tend to make themselves scarce if they hear something stomping around close to them. I once made a snake actually jump into the air by stomping my foot hard (checking for snakes, so...I was right.)
