What services do you offer?Do You Offer Snake Prevention Do You Offer Snake Prevention Services?

Yes — and prevention is one of the most effective ways to reduce snake activity around your property.

Urban Reptile Removal offers practical, property-specific snake prevention advice tailored to your home, garden, pets, and the surrounding environment. Most homeowners are surprised by how much impact a few small, targeted changes can have.

Our approach focuses on understanding why snakes are visiting your property and addressing those factors directly, rather than relying on gimmicks or unrealistic guarantees.

What Our Snake Prevention Service Includes
Identifying Snake Attractants

Snakes don’t appear at random. They are drawn to properties that provide food, water, and shelter.

We assess common attractants such as:

Rodents (the primary driver for venomous snake activity)

Water sources including ponds, dripping taps, and pools with frog activity

Dense groundcover or long grass

Outdoor clutter and stored materials

Pet food or water left outside

Compost heaps and mulch piles

We explain exactly what’s attracting snakes to your property and provide clear steps to reduce those triggers.

Habitat Modification Advice

You don’t need to strip your yard bare or remove all vegetation. In most cases, small layout adjustments make a significant difference.

We assess and advise on:

Garden bed placement

Retaining walls and rock borders

Timber stacks and sheet metal

Dense shrubs and groundcover

Overgrown or unmanaged vegetation

The goal is to remove hiding and ambush points while keeping your yard functional and liveable.

Checking Access Points Into Buildings

Many snake callouts involve snakes entering structures, which often surprises homeowners.

We commonly find access points around:

Sheds and garages

Under houses and raised flooring

Roof cavities

Pool filter boxes and pump housings

Gaps under roller doors and fencing

Areas behind hot water systems and meter boxes

We identify these entry points and explain practical ways to seal or manage them to reduce the likelihood of snakes entering buildings.

Garden and Property Layout Guidance

Every property is different. As part of our prevention service, we provide tailored advice based on how your space is actually used.

This can include guidance on:

Lower-risk plant choices

High-risk zones around the yard

Safer placement of paths and walkways

Reducing frog and rodent activity near pools and water features

Where snakes are most likely to shelter during hot weather

Understanding how snakes move and rest on a property gives many homeowners immediate peace of mind.

Pet Safety Advice

Pets are frequently involved in snake encounters, particularly dogs.

We provide practical guidance on:

Reducing pet–snake interactions

Better placement of pet food and water bowls

Yard layout changes to create safer areas

Seasonal behaviour patterns to watch for

Early signs your pet may have encountered a snake

This information is especially important during spring and summer when snake activity is highest.

A Realistic Approach to Snake Prevention

No service can guarantee snakes will never appear. Snakes are a natural part of the Australian environment, particularly in urban areas that border bushland, waterways, and green corridors.

However, with the right steps, you can dramatically reduce the chances of snakes regularly using your property.

Our prevention advice is based on real-world experience, not theory or scare tactics.
