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.

24/7 Tiger & Brown Snake Removal Experts Sunshine
Tiger Snake
Eastern Brown Snake
If you’ve spotted a snake in or near your property in Sunshine, it’s important to act quickly and stay calm. Tiger Snakes and Eastern Brown Snakes are two of the most venomous snake species in Australia, and they are commonly found in Sunshine and surrounding western Melbourne suburbs due to open land, parks, gardens, water areas, and bushy spaces. These snakes often appear around backyards, sheds, garages, long grass, rubbish piles, farms, playgrounds, walking trails, and areas near creeks or lakes.
Health Risks from Tiger & Eastern Brown Snake Bites
Paralysis and muscle weakness
Internal bleeding and blood clot issues
Breathing difficulties and loss of consciousness
Severe pain, nausea, and vomiting
Can be fatal without urgent medical treatment
Because of the danger, no one should ever attempt to kill, catch, or handle a snake. In Victoria, it is also illegal to harm or kill native wildlife, including snakes, without proper authorisation. The safest action is to keep distance, secure children and pets, and immediately call licensed snake professionals.
For fast response and expert handling, Aptive Pest Control provides 24/7 Tiger and Eastern Brown Snake Removal across Sunshine. Our licensed handlers safely capture and relocate snakes using professional techniques, ensuring complete protection for your family and property. We offer rapid emergency response, same-day service, and round-the-clock availability.
Aptive also offers inspection, prevention strategies, and safety guidance to minimise future risks. Choosing Aptive means choosing safety, reliability, and expert support whenever you need it.
If you have seen a snake like the one in the image, it may be a Lowland Copperhead, a highly venomous species commonly found across Melbourne and nearby regions. These snakes prefer wet, cool locations such as creeks, dams, wetlands, gardens, farms, sheds, and long grassy areas. Although generally shy, they can become aggressive when threatened and may strike rapidly.
A Lowland Copperhead bite is extremely dangerous and requires immediate medical treatment. The venom can cause severe pain, swelling, paralysis, breathing difficulties, internal bleeding, nausea, and can be fatal without urgent care. Pets like dogs and cats are also at high risk.
Never attempt to catch, kill, or move a snake — it’s unsafe and illegal in Victoria without proper licensing. Always keep distance and call professionals.
Aptive Pest Control offers 24/7 Lowland Copperhead Snake Removal with licensed experts, safe handling, and fast emergency response.
Lowland Copperhead

A bite from a Red-bellied Black Snake is dangerous and requires urgent medical treatment. Venom effects include severe pain, swelling, nausea, vomiting, muscle weakness, blood clot problems, kidney damage, and can be fatal without immediate care. Pets are also highly at risk.
