Safe and Effective Snake Removal & Prevention Across All Melbourne Suburbs

Snakes can pose serious threats to safety, particularly in areas with dense vegetation or nearby bushland. Melbourne’s diverse snake population includes several venomous species, which makes it crucial to address any snake sightings immediately. Aptive Pest Control offers professional, safe, and fast snake control services throughout Melbourne. We help ensure your property is free from snakes by removing them humanely and implementing preventative measures.

🔍 Our Snake Control Process

  1. Site Assessment and Inspection
    Our expert team conducts a thorough inspection of your property, looking for signs of snakes or potential entry points. We assess the environment to identify areas like dense shrubbery, tall grass, or accessible gaps in fences that attract snakes.

  2. Snake Identification
    If we spot a snake, we carefully identify the species to determine the level of risk it poses. We focus on ensuring safe handling and relocation, especially for venomous snakes.

  3. Safe Snake Removal
    Once the snake is identified, our team uses professional tools to safely capture and remove it from your property. We relocate the snake to an appropriate, safe area far from populated zones.

  4. Exclusion and Prevention
    After snake removal, we implement effective exclusion methods. These may include sealing potential entry points, trimming back vegetation, and advising on proper landscaping to deter snakes from returning.

  5. Ongoing Monitoring and Maintenance
    We recommend routine checks to monitor the property for new signs of snake activity, ensuring long-term protection from future infestations.

💡 Preventing Snake Infestations

While Melbourne is home to various snake species, there are several measures you can take to prevent them from invading your property:

  • Keep vegetation trimmed: Snakes are attracted to tall grass, weeds, and overgrown shrubs, which provide shelter and prey.

  • Seal gaps and cracks: Ensure that there are no gaps in fences, walls, or other entry points where snakes can slither in.

  • Remove rodent attractants: Snakes are often drawn to properties with rodents, so controlling rodent populations reduces the risk of snake visits.

  • Install snake-proof fencing: Consider installing specialized fencing around high-risk areas to keep snakes out.

  • Clear debris: Remove piles of rocks, wood, or leaf litter from your property where snakes could seek shelter.
