Why Do Snakes Enter Properties in Melbourne?
Snakes generally avoid people and only enter properties while searching for food, water or shelter. During warmer months, snakes become more active and may move into gardens, sheds, garages, roof spaces, or under decking where conditions are cool, quiet and protected. Several factors can increase the likelihood of snake activity around a property, including:
- Long grass and overgrown gardens
- Rodent activity that provides a food source
- Wood piles, rocks and garden debris
- Water sources such as ponds or bird baths
- Dense vegetation close to buildings
- Open spaces beneath sheds and decks
Understanding why snakes are attracted to certain environments helps property owners take practical steps to reduce future encounters.

Protect Your Property & Keep Snakes Out
Although it is not always possible to prevent snakes from coming onto a property, it is possible to significantly reduce the potential for future snake encounters by minimizing conditions that attract snakes. Make your property less inviting to snakes by keeping the outside areas maintained and reducing food sources.
Ways to decrease snake activity:
- Cut the grass and keep the vegetation in good condition.
- Snakes can hide in clear piles of timber, rocks and garden debris.
- Limit activity of rodents as they are common food for snakes.
- Whenever possible seal gaps under sheds and around outdoor structures.
- If snakes continue to be a problem, arrange for a professional snake inspection.
