Answer
Hi Sam,

Mushrooms?  Practice your golf swing.  Seriously.  There aren't any methods beyond just digging them out.  Mushrooms don't really cause problems with the lawn though, so they haven't developed any products to kill them off.  You don't need to get rid of them, as they'll come and go on their own as the seasons change.  If you want to though, just whack away.

Snakes? http://www.liquidfence.com/snake-repellents.html  Check out that url.  I have no experience with it, but I've heard that it's pretty good stuff.

Insects? What sort of insects are you talking about?  Most are beneficial and good for the lawn, so you shouldn't feel as though you need to rid the property of insects altogether.  If you do have some sort of infestation though, you should properly identify the culprit, then go find a product that will take care of it.  Just don't feel as though you need to get rid of all the critters.  Most of them are good.

Good luck!
