Melbourne is home to some of the world's most venomous snakes. If you've spotted one on your property, keep your distance and call a professional immediately.
Melbourne's suburbs are home to tiger snakes, eastern brown snakes, lowland copperheads, and red-bellied black snakes — all of which can deliver potentially fatal bites.
Children and pets are at the highest risk from snake encounters. Pets often disturb snakes sheltering in gardens, sheds, and under decking, leading to bites.
Snakes are most active from October to April as they come out to bask, feed, and mate. Warm days bring snakes into yards, garages, and even inside homes.
Melbourne's trusted snake catchers provide safe, humane snake removal plus prevention strategies to reduce the chance of snakes returning.
Licensed snake catcher dispatched promptly to safely capture the snake using professional equipment. We handle venomous and non-venomous species.
All captured snakes are humanely relocated to suitable bushland habitats away from residential areas, in compliance with Victorian wildlife regulations.
We identify the species on-site and educate you about the specific snake, its habits, and what attracted it to your property so you can stay informed and safe.
We assess your property and provide actionable advice: removing ground cover, sealing gaps under decking, managing compost, and reducing prey animals like frogs and mice.
We check common hiding spots — woodpiles, rock walls, garden beds, sheds, and sub-floor areas — to ensure no additional snakes are sheltering on your property.
Rodents are a primary food source for snakes. We can set up a rodent management program that removes the attractant and reduces the likelihood of snakes returning.
The most obvious sign — you've seen a snake in your garden, garage, shed, or even inside the house. Keep your distance and call us immediately.
Finding snake skins in your garden, shed, or under the house indicates a snake has been sheltering nearby. Snakes shed their skin several times a year.
S-shaped trails in dusty areas, soil, or mulch indicate snake movement. Check around water features, compost bins, and along fence lines.
If you have mice, rats, or lots of frogs around your property, you have a food source that attracts snakes. Address the prey, reduce the predator.

"Found a tiger snake in our backyard with the kids playing. Called Pest Eraze and they were at our door within 40 minutes. The snake was caught quickly and safely. The catcher even checked under the deck and around the shed. Amazing service. Thank you!"
"We get eastern browns on our rural property every summer. Pest Eraze removed two snakes and gave us great advice about clearing ground cover and managing the mouse population. Haven't seen another one since."
"A snake got into our garage and we were terrified. The Pest Eraze team was calm, professional, and quick. They identified it as a copperhead, caught it in minutes, and even showed us photos so we could identify them in the future. Highly recommend."
