Safe - Humane - Effective
Catching reptiles when we arrive on-site can often be quite challenging, especially if the animal has found a secluded hiding spot.
Snakes and lizards are masters of camouflage and can easily disappear into tight spaces like retaining walls, under sheds, or in burrows. This often makes immediate capture difficult, even with the best tools and techniques.
A Red Bellied Black Snake retreated into a hole in this wall. We were able to remove all possible exits other than the trap. The snake left the wall within an hour.
That’s where our traps come in, offering homeowners and business owners an added level of reassurance. By setting our traps, we give ourselves more time to catch the reptile safely. The traps work continuously over several days, increasing the chances of capturing the animal without requiring constant monitoring.

This gives homeowners peace of mind, knowing there's a reliable solution in place, even if the reptile isn't immediately visible or accessible when we first arrive.
We encourage co-existing with most reptiles from the Sydney region. Lizards like this Blue tongue make an excellent addition to every garden, however we realise not everyone feels the way we do. These traps and our techniques refined over many years provide a stress free non invasive way to have unwanted reptiles relocated.
Two for the price of one! A Brown snake had been seen repeatedly at Camden Airport disappearing into a crack in the concrete. An adult pair entered the trap on the same day and were able to be relocated together to nearby bushland. This outcome would not have been possible without the use of traps.
This crack in the brickwork seemed far too small to hide a three and a half foot brown snake, but they’re masters at squeezing into tight spaces. With young kids often in the backyard, the homeowners were understandably anxious. Several attempts to catch the snake quietly failed, so a trap was set.
The Brown Snake entered the trap in less that 24 hours and was able to be safely relocated with no damage to the property.
The traps are much less stressful to the snake. The alternate is often flooding the cavity where the snake is hiding and driving it out once it begins to drown.
