Snakes are magnificent native Australian creatures, however leave them to the experts to remove
Snakes invariably find their way into areas they are not be wanted. Ways you can reduce the likelihood of encounters around the home, school, office, workshop or farm environment include:
If you do have an unwanted snake visiting your home or yard, our trained staff can assist in the identification, capture and relocation of your uninvited reptile guest. We mainly service the Roma town area but on request can attend to callouts in neighboring towns and properties.
We hold a Damage Mitigation Permit issued by the Queensland Department of Environment and Science. This license allows us to remove and relocate snakes if they pose a safety risk.
Fees apply for our snake catching service. Remember, not all snakes are dangerous so please call us with your enquiry and we will endeavor to assist.
Unfortunately we can’t always guarantee their capture. They may disappear down a hole, under an inaccessible building or be gone before our snake catcher arrives. To help with their capture however here are some things you can do:
Don’t panic. Back away to a safe distance and allow the snake to move away by itself. Snakes will usually try to escape when disturbed.
Don’t try to kill the snake or interfere with it, as that’s when most people get bitten. Fast movement and lots of commotion (waving arms & legs, running around and screaming) could provide the snake, so stay calm.
If the snake is in your house keep watching it but keep well clear of it. Try to create a direct exit route out of the house for the snake by closing off other rooms and cupboards. Block gaps underneath doors with rooled up towelds and open up external doors to create a direct escape route. If it doesn’t leave call a snake catcher.
