๐ Snakes are making their way into homes
๐กTips to reduce the risk
โ๏ธ As the weather warms up, snakes may become more active and can occasionally enter homes in search of food, water or shelter.
Here are some simple ways to reduce the risk:
๐ธ Keep doors and windows screened where possible, particularly those close to the ground.
๐ธ Seal gaps and cracks around doors, windows, pipes and other potential entry points.
๐ธ Keep grass and vegetation trimmed around your home, sheds and outdoor entertaining areas.
๐ธ Remove piles of timber, building materials, rubbish and other clutter where snakes can shelter.
๐ธ Keep rodents under control. Mice and rats can attract snakes, so secure pet food and rubbish and avoid leaving food scraps outside.
๐ธ Keep gardens tidy and avoid dense vegetation immediately against the house.
๐ธ Check garages, sheds and outdoor storage areas before reaching into dark or concealed spaces.
๐ธ Keep pets away from suspected snakes and supervise them outdoors where snakes are known to occur.
๐ If you see a snake inside
โ๏ธ Do not attempt to catch, corner or kill it. Keep people and pets away, close internal doors if you can do so safely, and contact a licensed snake catcher to relocate it.
