Found a Snake in Your Home? Here’s What to Do
South East Queensland is home to a wide variety of native reptiles, including 27 terrestrial snake species and numerous lizard and turtle species. We also have a number of venomous snakes in the region, some of which are among the most venomous snakes in the world. If you come across a snake on your property or inside your home, here are some simple steps to help keep everyone safe until a snake catcher arrives.
Once you are well clear of the snake, keep any pets under control until the snake has either moved on on its own or has been relocated by a snake catcher.
If you encounter a snake inside your home, close off the room as much as possible and apply a wet towel to the bottom of the door to prevent the snake from escaping into the rest of your home. If the snake is in an area that cannot be closed off, keep an eye on it from a safe distance and contact a licensed snake catcher to relocate it.
Never try to catch or kill a snake because this is how most people are bitten. Attempting to catch or kill a snake without the proper licensing is illegal in Queensland and can result in severe penalties. Even if you believe the snake is harmless, it’s best to leave it alone and allow a licensed snake catcher to handle it.
Call our Gold Coast snake catchers on 0423 866 017. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to provide professional assistance with snakes and other reptiles.
Once the snake catcher is on the way, maintain a safe distance and, if possible, keep an eye on the snake or the area where it was last seen.
If the snake is inside a closed-off room, stay at a safe distance and keep an eye on the outside of the door in case it finds a way out. This makes a huge difference for our catchers, as snakes can be extremely difficult to find once they move out of sight.
How Can I Keep Snakes Out of My Yard?
Snakes are just a part of life when you live in Australia, and there’s no way to completely prevent them from passing through your property. However, there are a few things that can be done to greatly reduce the likelihood of them sticking around. Here are some simple things you can do to make your property less appealing to snakes.
Keep your yard clean!
You can greatly reduce the number of snakes on your property by keeping your lawn short, gardens free of dense overgrowth, and removing unnecessary ground-laying items. Snakes are relatively vulnerable animals in the wild, preferring to congregate in areas where they know they can flee predators. Snakes are more likely to leave your property if there are few places for them to hide.
Keep outdoor pet enclosures clean
Snakes are drawn to outdoor pets such as guinea pigs and birds for a variety of reasons. Uncleaned cages can develop strong odours from food, droppings and the animals themselves, which can attract passing snakes looking for an easy meal. They can also attract rodents, which may in turn attract snakes to your property. To reduce the chances of snakes entering and preying on your pets, keep pet cages raised off the ground and with as little space between bars as possible.
Seal up all crevices around your home
Certain snake species seek shelter in the foundation and ceiling cavities of homes during the winter months, as these areas provide warmth and protection. Sealing off potential entry points can help prevent snakes from getting inside and increase the chances of them moving elsewhere. Keep in mind that snakes can squeeze through surprisingly narrow gaps, sometimes as small as 1–2 cm, so even small openings can provide access to your home.
Snake proof fencing
Snake-proof fencing is available from Bunnings and, when installed correctly, can be an effective way of stopping some terrestrial snakes from entering your property. However, it won’t keep all snakes out, as many species are excellent climbers.
