Snake Catcher SEVEN HILLS — Urban Reptile Removal 0418 633 474
Seven Hills is one of the busiest and most established suburbs in Western Sydney, with a blend of older homes, renovated properties, leafy streets, backyard sheds, large gardens, industrial pockets and open reserves. That mix creates the perfect conditions for wildlife, including snakes, to move through the area. It’s completely normal for people living in Seven Hills to encounter snakes during the warmer months, especially around gardens, fences, sheds and driveways. Because of that, Urban Reptile Removal attends a high number of callouts in this suburb every snake season.
If you see a snake in Seven Hills, the safest thing you can do is call 0418 633 474 straight away. There’s no need to move closer. There’s no need to get a photo. You don’t need to try to scare the snake away. Just step back, bring pets and children indoors, and let a trained snake catcher manage the situation. Professional snake removal ensures your safety and prevents unnecessary risks.
The Eastern brown snake is the species most commonly removed in Seven Hills. Browns flourish here because the suburb offers plenty of warm hiding spots, rodents, gardens, long fence lines and sheltered spaces around homes. They’re extremely fast, highly venomous and quick to defend themselves when startled. Many residents spot them moving across driveways, slipping under garden edging, basking beside sheds or crossing open lawn areas. If you ever see one, stay well back and call immediately. Brown snakes should only ever be handled by trained professionals.
Seven Hills also has a strong population of red-bellied black snakes, especially in parts of the suburb with thicker vegetation, shaded gardens and damp areas. These snakes prefer spots where frogs, skinks and water sources are present. Their glossy black scales and red belly make them easy to recognise. While they are generally shy, they are still venomous, and professional removal is essential. If a red-bellied black snake appears on your property, call 0418 633 474 and we will attend as quickly as possible.
Another species seen frequently in Seven Hills is the yellow-faced whip snake. These slender, quick-moving snakes often cause panic because they are mistaken for baby browns. Whip snakes move incredibly fast through gardens, rock edges, driveways and narrow gaps between fences. They are venomous but avoid confrontation, disappearing almost instantly once disturbed. The sooner you contact us, the greater the chance we can locate it before it retreats into deeper cover.
Not all reptile sightings in Seven Hills involve snakes. The area is home to many green tree snakes, a harmless species that can move quickly and flatten its head when alarmed, making it seem more intimidating than it actually is. Green tree snakes frequently show up near garden beds, fences, garages, roofs, pool areas and outdoor sheds. They pose no risk to people or pets but still require careful handling so they are not injured during removal.
And then there are the blue-tongued lizards, among the most common backyard reptiles in Seven Hills. Blueys bask in sunny spots, hide under pot plants, crawl along fence lines and explore veggie gardens. Their puffing, hissing and wide open mouth can alarm residents, leading many to believe they have a snake. We receive countless calls like this and we are always happy to check — better to confirm than to take a chance.
With so many established houses in Seven Hills, there are countless hiding spots and warm surfaces that attract snakes. People spend a lot of time outdoors here — mowing, gardening, fixing things in the shed, looking after pets or setting up outdoor spaces — so discovering a snake can be a stressful interruption. Calling Urban Reptile Removal means you can step back and let a trained professional take over. You never need to follow the snake or watch where it goes. Just stay safe and keep others away.
When we arrive at a Seven Hills property, we begin by identifying the snake’s last known location. Snakes don’t travel far once they find a place that feels safe. The most common hiding spots we find in this suburb include:
• under hot water systems
• beneath garden edging or retaining walls
• inside garages along the walls
• under pot plants
• behind sheds or storage units
• in overgrown garden beds
• behind air-conditioning units
• under timber or metal piles
• around pool pump areas
• beneath kids’ play equipment
• inside wheelie bin storage areas
• between fence gaps and boundary edges
Each of these areas is checked quietly and methodically until the snake is found and safely removed.
After the removal, most people want to know why the snake appeared in the first place. Snakes follow food sources, especially rodents, skinks and frogs. Seven Hills has the ideal mix of bush corridors, older fencing, shady gardens and warm surfaces that encourage prey animals to thrive. Snakes are not choosing your home specifically — they are simply following their natural instincts and moving through the environment.
Once the snake is gone, we provide straightforward advice that genuinely helps reduce future sightings. You don’t need commercial snake repellents. They don’t work. You also don’t need ultrasonic devices or expensive gadgets. What does work is simple:
• mow lawns regularly
• remove clutter around fences and walls
• lift stored materials off the ground
• secure outdoor food sources
• tidy garden beds and reduce heavy vegetation
• seal small gaps where rodents travel
• remove debris, timber and metal piles
These changes make your property far less appealing to both snakes and the prey animals that attract them.
Many residents assume that if they see one snake, there must be several more hiding nearby. Fortunately, that’s not how snakes behave. Snakes are solitary animals. They don’t travel in groups or pairs. They don’t nest in suburban yards. One snake sighting almost always means exactly one snake was present. Once that snake is removed, the situation is resolved.
Occasionally, snakes do find their way inside homes in Seven Hills. This can happen through open garage doors, gaps under external doors, holes created by rodents, open laundry areas or renovation-related gaps. Indoor snake sightings are treated as urgent emergency snake removal jobs because of the obvious safety concerns. We prioritise these cases and attend as quickly as possible.
Residents choose Urban Reptile Removal because we work calmly, professionally and without judgment. We don’t exaggerate the situation. We don’t criticise your garden or home setup. We simply remove the snake quickly and safely, then explain what caused the encounter and how to reduce future chances.
If you ever see movement in the garden, hear your dog barking persistently at a fence line, or simply feel unsure whether a reptile sighting is serious, you can always call 0418 633 474. Even if the situation turns out to be harmless, it’s always better to get proper advice.
For fast, safe and reliable snake removal in Seven Hills, you can trust Urban Reptile Removal every day of the year. When a snake appears where it shouldn’t be, we’ll take care of the problem quietly, efficiently and with complete professionalism so you can continue your day with peace of mind.
