Snake Catcher Marayong

If there's a snake at your home in Marayong,

CALL NOW on 0418 633 474.

Stay calm and keep your distance. Move children and pets clear of the area, but keep your eyes on the snake from a safe spot. The most useful thing you can do before we arrive is maintain visual contact — a snake that's been watched is far easier to find. A snake that's disappeared often reappears, but if we arrive and can't find it, we'll have to leave. You don't need to take a photo or identify the species — just watch where it goes.

About Marayong

Marayong is an established residential suburb in the Blacktown LGA, sitting between Blacktown, Quakers Hill, Kings Park and Kings Langley. The Main Western railway corridor runs through the suburb, and the open grass strips, drainage easements and retained vegetation that line the rail corridor act as continuous reptile habitat connecting Marayong into the wider Blacktown LGA snake network. The Parklea Correctional Complex bushland sits within reach to the north, and the connecting drainage corridors deliver snakes through from the surrounding suburbs. The mix of older established housing stock from the 1960s and 70s, large backyards, accumulated yard storage, chicken coops, and the rodent populations that come with all of it produces a steady job pattern through the warmer months.

What we see in Marayong

Eastern brown snakes dominate the work here. They're drawn by the older sheds, accumulated yard storage, chicken coops, and rodent activity that characterise the suburb's larger backyards. Generally shy and prefer to flee, but highly venomous and worth treating with respect.

Red-bellied black snakes turn up on properties with pools, ponds or thick damp garden beds, and along the wetter drainage lines connecting through to the wider network. Less common than browns in Marayong but consistent through summer.

Yellow-faced whip snakes appear along fence lines, retaining walls and warm garden edges. Often mistaken for juvenile brown snakes because of their speed and slender shape. Venomous but their bite is medically minor compared to a brown.

Blue-tongued lizardsare part of Marayong's everyday backyard wildlife. Many of the snake calls we attend turn out to be blue-tongues — never an issue, always happy to attend and confirm.

Where snakes go on Marayong properties

The hiding spots are predictable: under sheds and storage units, behind hot water systems, under garden edging, inside garages along the back wall, around pool pumps, behind air-conditioning units, under timber piles, beneath outdoor furniture, in thick ground cover, and along fence gaps. We work through them methodically once we arrive.

After we leave

Every URR job ends with a brief walk-through of the property. We tell you why the snake was likely there, what's drawing it in, and what you can change to reduce future activity — short grass, no clutter along the fence line, stored items lifted off the ground, gaps sealed where rodents travel, and no pet food bowls left outside overnight. No snake repellent sprays, no gimmicks. Just the things that actually work.
