How to Keep Snakes Away
There are ways to keep snakes from making your property their home in Melbourne, where there are many different kinds of snakes.
Take care of your garden.
Snakes like places where grass, weeds, and bushes are too thick. These places give them shelter and food.
Close off all openings
Make sure that fences, walls, and other possible entry points are completely closed off so that snakes can’t get in.
Reducing rodent populations
Getting rid of things that attract rodents is a good way to lower the chances of a snake showing up. Snakes like to hang out where there are a lot of rodents, so keeping those populations in check makes it less likely that you’ll see a snake.
Keeping yards tidy and well maintained
If snakes are a problem, you might want to put up snake-proof fencing in areas where they are known to hang out. Get rid of any places where snakes might hide. This means clearing away any piles of rocks, wood, or even just leaves that might be lying around in your yard.
