Heard it all of my life. Older people were happy to have black snakes around the house for that very reason.

king snakes often prey on other snakes including vemonous snakes. most king snakes i can catch are released here around the house for that reason.

I have some huge "chicken or turkey" snakes around the house and I leave them alone..I tell everyone who visits not to kill them either. (Had a few visitors do some dancing in the air when one crawls up on them) Knock on wood but we have seen very few venomous snakes and I think it's because of these non-venomous ones
