let them be, they wont hurt your cats and will eat mice and insects
Get out the garden hoe and start chopping!
put on some gloves, pick them up and put them in a pillow case, and drive them to a park. They are gross but safe.
The best way to get rid of the snakes is to make sure your back yard is not Snake Heaven. Keep the clutter down. No piles of wood or leaves, nothing they can nest in or hide under. Keep the grass mowed so they don't get comfortable hanging out in it. Also, take care of any rodent or insect problems quickly. If the snakes are migrating to your yard, they've probably got a good reason. A buffet line starring roaches and mice is one of the best.
Take a stroll around your house and inspect the foundation and the ventilation holes in the garage. If you see any holes bigger than about a quarter then you've hung up an "apartment for rent" sign for the snakes. And for heaven's sake, don't leave doors standing open! Make sure you've got a good screen door at the very least, or you may find a garter snake struggling frantically on your shiny kitchen floor. Yikes!
Get a large bucket with a lid or a plastic container with a lid. You can either pick him up by his tail or use a rod to get him in the container. Don't worry they don't strike and remember he's more scared of you.
