Trusted Snake Removeal Services for Melbourne Properties
Snakes can be found in all suburban and rural areas around Australia. There are about 140 land snakes in the country, with 10 of them ranking as the deadliest in the world. Although many of them are harmless, finding a snake in your home can be a daunting experience and often requires a specialist snake catcher. The more you panic around snakes, the more you put yourself and your family at risk. However, bites from snakes are rare in Australia and fatalities have been low since the development of anti-venom vaccines. Despite this, snakes should be avoided as much as possible, and if you find them in your home then you should consult an expert snake catcher like Pestline for snake removal solutions.

How do snake catchers catch snakes?
Our licenced snake catchers will safely and humanely remove the snake from your property and relocate it back into the wild. We deal with various properties including your home, school or commercial premise. There are different types of snakes that can be found in Victoria, with some being venomous and others not. Some of the most venomous snakes to surround Victoria are:
Eastern Tiger Snake
Red-Bellied Black Snake
Eastern Brown Snake
Snakes that may not be venomous may include the Green Tree Snake and the Carpet Python.
Handling snakes is often very dangerous as they can attack if they feel like you pose a threat. It is also illegal to attempt to kill the snake. As such, for the safety of you and your family, we highly recommend contacting a snake catcher for professional snake removal services.
In particular, if you find a snake close to where children play such as school buildings or early learning centres, it’s vital that you contact a professional snake remover as children are often unaware of the dangers that snakes pose.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? We've got answers
Stay calm, keep children and pets well away from the area, and avoid trying to move or corner the snake yourself. Call a licensed snake catcher who can safely identify and relocate it.
Yes, it’s illegal to kill a snake in Victoria as all native snake species are protected wildlife, which is why licensed capture and relocation is both the safe and the legal option.
The Eastern Tiger Snake, Red-Bellied Black Snake and Eastern Brown Snake are among the more venomous species found in and around Victoria, though snake bites and fatalities are rare thanks to modern anti-venom.
No, some species like the Green Tree Snake and Carpet Python are non-venomous, but since it can be hard to tell species apart at a glance, it’s always safest to treat any snake sighting with caution and call a professional.
Licensed snake catchers use specialised equipment and handling techniques to safely capture a snake without harming it, then relocate it back into an appropriate area away from homes and schools.
Snakes are most active during the warmer months, typically from spring through to autumn, when they come out to bask in the sun and hunt for food.
Children are often unaware of the danger snakes can pose and may approach or try to touch one out of curiosity, which is why a fast, professional response matters most around schools and childcare centres.
Keeping grass short, removing wood or debris piles, sealing gaps under decking, and reducing rodent activity (a food source for snakes) around the home can all help make a property less appealing to snakes.
