Dealing with a snake is not the same as dealing with an insect. It calls for training, the right equipment, knowledge of how snakes behave and respect for the law. Our service treats removal and prevention as two parts of the same job: first we make the situation safe, then we help you reduce the reasons that snakes visited your property in the first place. Each job begins with a careful look at the area.
Snake Capture by Trained Staff: Why It Should Never Be a DIY Job
Snake capture should be left to people who are trained for it. Our staff are trained to approach, secure and remove snakes calmly and safely, with minimal risk to the people nearby and to the snake. They know where snakes hide in homes, gardens, storerooms and industrial yards and how to reach them. Trying to handle a snake without training can lead to serious injury, which is why we recommend you never do it.
Safe Relocation as per Local Regulations
After capture, we relocate the snake safely, as per local regulations. Many snakes are valuable to the local environment, because they feed on rodents and other pests, and many species are protected by wildlife law, so removal has to be done correctly. Safe relocation means moving the snake away from people and homes to a suitable place, carried out responsibly and within the rules that apply in your area.
Preventive Measures and Area Proofing to Stop Repeat Visits
Preventive measures reduce the chance that snakes return. We look for the gaps, drains, cracks and hiding spots that let snakes get in, recommend area proofing and apply chemical spray where required, depending on the property and the situation. We also advise on the clutter, rodents and overgrowth that attract snakes, so your home, garden, resort or site becomes a much less appealing place for them.
