Brooklyn: Reptile & Snake Removal — Brooklyn — Call Now 0418 633 474

If you see a snake anywhere in Brooklyn, call Urban Reptile Removal immediately on 0418 633 474. Brooklyn is a suburb surrounded by dense bushland, waterfront edges, mangrove systems, rock platforms, gullies and long vegetation corridors that create some of the richest reptile movement zones in northern Sydney. Snakes travel constantly across these environments, crossing between bushland, yards, sheds, boat ramps, carports, retaining walls, decks, garden edges and the shaded areas around homes. Many residents encounter snakes unexpectedly — sometimes on driveways, near the clothesline, under outdoor furniture, beside garages, inside sheds, or even inside houses.

Urban Reptile Removal is the number one Sydney snake catcher, trusted across the Lower Hawkesbury region, Hornsby Shire and Greater Sydney for fast, calm and professional snake relocation. We understand the terrain around Brooklyn — from steep bush blocks to waterfront properties — and we know how snakes use these environments to move silently and efficiently.

If you encounter a snake, do not approach it, do not attempt to catch it, do not try to frighten it away and do not attempt to kill it. Snakes defend themselves only when threatened, and close interaction is the main cause of bites. The safest response is simple: keep your distance, secure pets, remain calm and call 0418 633 474 immediately.

Why Snakes Are Common in Brooklyn

Brooklyn’s location makes it one of the most reptile-active suburbs in the entire Hawkesbury and northern Sydney region. Key environmental features include:

• Thick, mature bushland right beside homes
• Freshwater creeks and mangrove habitat
• Rock shelves, sandstone platforms and retaining walls
• Sheltered waterfront edges
• Cool shaded gardens and tree-filled backyards
• Timber piles used for boat gear and outdoor storage
• Leaf litter, mulch and garden debris
• Under-house voids and deck gaps
• Multiple wildlife pathways
• Healthy frog, lizard and bird populations
• Strong rodent activity around sheds and waterfront structures

Snakes travel along predictable micro-habitats: fence lines, rock edges, garden borders, pathways between properties, shaded cool zones, drainage lines and gaps beneath structures. Even small blocks in Brooklyn provide the exact elements snakes seek: shelter, prey, warmth and water.

Residents often find snakes while accessing under-house spaces, gardening, taking out rubbish, working around boats or trailers, cleaning sheds, or stepping outside during quiet times of day.

What To Do Immediately If You See a Snake in Brooklyn

Your first actions ensure safety. Follow these essential steps:

• Stop and step back slowly
• Bring pets inside right away
• Keep children well away
• Do not approach the snake
• Do not attempt to kill it
• Do not trap it under a bin
• Do not spray water or throw items
• Do not try to “guide” it away
• Maintain visual contact from several metres away
• Call Urban Reptile Removal on 0418 633 474

Snakes remain calm when unthreatened. Giving them distance allows us to remove them quickly and safely.

Why Snakes Enter Brooklyn Homes

Snakes don’t enter homes randomly — they follow environmental cues. Brooklyn has numerous attractants:

1. Rodents

The number one cause of snake activity around homes. Where there are mice or rats, snakes inevitably follow.

Rodents hide in:
• Roof spaces
• Under-house areas
• Boat sheds
• Garages
• Timber piles
• Near food scraps

Snakes follow these scent trails.

2. Warmth

Snakes use external surfaces to regulate body temperature. Common warm zones include:

• Pavers
• Driveways
• Boat ramps
• Brick walls
• Concrete slabs
• Timber decking
• Roof sheeting
• Stone steps

3. Water

Brooklyn’s waterfront homes and gardens provide reliable moisture:

• Bird baths
• Ponds
• Leaking taps
• Mangrove edges
• Irrigation
• Pet bowls
• Damp soil
• Overflow trays

4. Shelter

Snakes rely heavily on protected hiding places, including:

• Under-house voids
• Deck cavities
• Storage areas
• Sheds and garages
• Pool pump boxes
• Timber piles
• Garden debris
• Rock walls
• Boat storage nooks

Brooklyn’s mix of waterfront homes and bushland properties provides all these shelter types in abundance.
