Ok day or two early but spring is here and we all know what that means snake season is upon us π So now is a great time to get our yards / properties cleaned up and cleared to reduce any place's for my mates to take up residence. Cut and trim down and maintain any long grass, Remove any wood piles from next to the house or rubbish like old stacks of tin old car bodies or anything that you think will attract rodents or make a nice place for a snake to hide in or under. Try your best to take out there food source's by eradicating or reducing rodent infestations as this can get the attention of snakes especially tiger snakes and have them come to the property to help sn**ch a few rats or mice. Not so much an issue yet but as we head in to summer water becomes harder to find. snakes will move around to to find a drink and are more than happy to drink from our pets water bowls. So if possible bring water bowls inside and if you can't try and put ice cream containers with water in them and some stones in it to stop blowing away and if any other critters come for a drink can get back out to. Place around your property boundary and keep filling up every now and then π These tips do not guarantee that you won't see a snake on your property but if you do the snake has no reason to stop and make your place home it should just pass on through ππ
If you do find one hanging around or to close to home please do not try and catch it or kill it as this is the best way to get bitten. Call myself on 0432240834 or a local catcher in your area to have it safely removed and relocated πππ
