HASSALL GROVE — Urban Snake & Reptile Removal 0418 633 474

Hassall Grove is one of those suburbs where you get a real mix of family homes, gardens, pet owners, kids playing outside, weekend yard clean-ups and plenty of wildlife moving through. If you’ve lived here for any amount of time, you’ve probably already seen blue-tongues, skinks, garden frogs, the odd possum and maybe even something long moving through the lawn a little too quickly for comfort. Snakes are simply a part of suburban Western Sydney, and Hassall Grove gets more than its fair share of them, especially in the warmer months. That’s why Urban Snake & Reptile Removal is regularly called out to this suburb for fast, calm and professional snake removal.

If you’re like most 30-year-old women living in the area — maybe juggling a busy job, young kids, pets or simply enjoying your home — the last thing you want is to stumble across a snake in the yard and not know what to do next. And the idea of trying to deal with it yourself is probably somewhere between “absolutely not” and “no chance in hell”. That’s where we come in. If you ever see a snake or even just suspect something might be a snake, you can call 0418 633 474 and we’ll take over from there.

The most common snake we remove from Hassall Grove homes is the Eastern brown snake. Browns are the snakes most people fear, and with good reason — they’re highly venomous and incredibly fast. They tend to turn up in places you wouldn’t expect, like next to the wheelie bins, beside the hot water system, behind the shed or stretched along the sunny edge of the fence. Many people get a fright because browns move quickly, and they often appear suddenly. If you ever see a brown snake in your yard, the most important thing is to step back, keep children and pets away and call a trained snake catcher who knows exactly how to handle the situation.

Right behind browns in terms of frequency are red-bellied black snakes. These are the sleek, glossy black snakes with the red underside that everyone instantly recognises. They love moisture, so they’re often found in areas with shaded gardens, around drainage edges, frog-friendly corners and well-watered lawns. Many Hassall Grove residents call us after spotting a red-belly sunning itself on a rock or slipping through a garden bed. Although they’re less reactive than browns, they’re still dangerous, and only a licensed professional should handle them. If you see one, take a breath, step back and call 0418 633 474 so we can remove it safely.

Yellow-faced whip snakes are another species that often causes panic in Hassall Grove. These snakes are thin, extremely fast and usually mistaken for baby browns. They move through gardens, mulch, rock edging and any narrow pathways along fences. Even though they’re smaller and more nervous, they are still venomous and shouldn’t be handled by anyone who isn’t trained. Because whip snakes disappear quickly, the sooner you call for snake removal, the better our chances of actually finding them.

Of course, not every reptile call in Hassall Grove is for a dangerous snake. Green tree snakes show up a lot, especially during warmer months. These snakes are harmless — they don’t have venom, and they’re not aggressive — but you wouldn’t necessarily know that if you saw one flatten its head, climb up a wall or slip into a garage. Green tree snakes are incredibly flexible and fast, and they have a habit of frightening people because of the way they move. If one ends up inside your home or trapped somewhere it can’t escape from, we’re always happy to come and remove it safely.

And then there are the blue-tongued lizards, the suburb’s most misunderstood backyard visitors. Every year we get calls from people who are certain they’ve seen a snake, only for it to turn out to be a bluey sunning itself or hiding under a pot plant. Blue-tongues hiss, puff up and stick out their bright blue tongue, which can be confronting if you’re not expecting it. They’re completely harmless and extremely helpful in the garden. But if you mistake one for a snake, there’s nothing embarrassing about calling — it’s better to check than risk it.

A lot of snake encounters in Hassall Grove happen during day-to-day routines. Someone goes to move a bin. Someone takes the dog outside. Someone goes into the shed for a tool. Someone is watering plants. Someone hears their dog barking at the fence line. Snakes tend to turn up in the most ordinary moments. It doesn’t mean your yard is unclean, unsafe or poorly maintained. Snakes follow the natural environment — food, water and shelter — and Hassall Grove provides plenty of each.

When you call Urban Snake & Reptile Removal, the first thing we do is settle the situation. You don’t have to identify the snake. You don’t have to get closer for a picture. You don’t have to trap it or keep eyes on it if it’s unsafe to do so. Just tell us roughly what you saw, where it went and whether any children or pets are around. We’ll talk you through exactly what to do until we arrive — usually keeping everyone inside, shutting gates, keeping pets away and maintaining a safe distance.

We typically reach Hassall Grove quickly, as it’s one of the core suburbs we service frequently. Once we arrive, we work calmly and quietly. There’s no panic, no rushing, no shouting — just a measured, professional approach. Snakes don’t magically disappear. They stop in the nearest warm, dark or sheltered spot. In Hassall Grove, their favourite hiding places include under garden edging, behind stored timber, under kids’ play equipment, behind hot water systems, beside the shed, under pot plants, inside meter boxes and beneath outdoor furniture.

Once the snake is located and safely removed, most homeowners — especially women with pets or kids — want to know why the snake came into the yard in the first place. The answer nearly always comes down to prey animals. If there are mice, lizards, skinks or frogs, snakes will follow. It’s not a reflection of how tidy your yard is. Snakes aren’t judging your housekeeping — they’re following instincts.

After the removal, we explain what simple changes can reduce future sightings. Lawn maintenance helps. So does lifting stored items off the ground, reducing clutter along fence lines, keeping dog food sealed, and checking for gaps where rodents move. You don’t need expensive gadgets or snake repellents. Those don’t work. Practical changes do.

A lot of people worry that one snake means many snakes. Fortunately, snakes are not social animals. They don’t live in groups. They don’t run “families”. They move constantly. A snake passing through is exactly that — a snake passing through. Once it's removed, your immediate risk is gone.

If a snake ever enters your home — and yes, it does happen — that becomes an urgent emergency snake removal. Snakes can slip under garage doors, follow mice indoors or enter through open sliding doors. Finding one in a laundry, bathroom or living room is confronting, but we handle these situations regularly and calmly.
