Question By: Although venomous snakes are known to exist in Australia, seeing one can be quite unusual. However, if one is seen inside a building or at work, it can be extremely alarming. In Australia, there are roughly 3,000 snake bites per year, of which 200 to 500 require anti-venom. The most prevalent poisonous snakes in Australia include the Eastern Brown Snake, Western Brown Snake, Mainland Tiger Snake, Inland Taipan, Coastal Taipan, Mulga Snake, Lowlands Copper Head, Small-eyes Snake, Common Death adder, and Red-bellied Black Snake. Various snake species exhibit different behaviours.
here are a few approaches to try:
• Spray it with a hose
Drench the snake from a distance. This will encourage it to move along, without harming it. Be aware, however, that this is only a temporary solution, and the snake may return.
• Trap the snake
If you’ve contacted a pest removal service and intend to have the snake removed that day, you can trap it with an overturned garbage can. Again, only attempt this if you are certain the snake is nonvenomous.
• Eliminate food sources
Snakes eat frogs, birds, rodents, insects, and even fish. If you have any of these animals on your property, eliminating them will help resolve your snake problem.
• Get rid of standing water
Standing water sources like rain barrels, birdbaths, and ponds attract snakes. To prevent snakes from coming back, remove these sources of standing water.
