What should I do if I see a snake?

In your yard:
Ensure all persons and pets are kept away from the snake. It will most likely move off on it’s own but, if it won’t move off, keep and eye on it from a safe distance and call us.

In your home:
Ensure all persons and pets are kept away from the snake. Close off doors and put rolled up towels or similar under the door. Call us and we will come and remove it.

Don’t forget, if possible and safe to do so, take a photo of the snake so we know what it is. You can also upload it to us for identification at our main site www.snakecatchers.com.au
