Snake-safety toolbox talks and property prevention

A snake sighting is easier to manage when people know how to respond and the property has been considered in advance. Snakes in the City offers toolbox talks, property snake-proofing and related prevention services across Sydney.

Toolbox talks for workplaces

Talk to us about a practical snake-safety session for your staff or site team. Explain the type of work, where people spend time outdoors and any previous sightings so we can discuss a suitable session.

Useful questions to raise include how staff should report a sighting, who should control access, how people and pets can be kept clear, and what information a catcher needs. Staff should manage the area and call for professional help; they should not attempt a capture.

See our commercial and strata response service and our snake-safety education information.

Property snake-proofing

Ask about snake-proofing and prevention work for your home, business, strata property or acreage. The useful starting point is the actual property: building access, stored materials, vegetation and how people use the space.

Describe the areas you want considered, known access points and any recent sightings. We can discuss the appropriate scope before work is arranged. Keep clear of suspected hiding places; do not dismantle stored materials or search for a snake yourself.

What prevention can achieve

Prevention aims to reduce opportunities for snakes to enter or shelter, improve visibility and help people respond safely. No outdoor property can be guaranteed never to receive a snake. Conditions and maintenance change, and wildlife can move through otherwise well-managed sites.

Schools, strata and rural properties

Different sites need different arrangements. A school may need clear responsibilities for staff; a strata property may need an agreed contact and safe access through common areas; acreage can involve sheds, livestock and long driveways.

Use our schools and childcare or acreage and rural properties pages for relevant call-out information. Contact our team to discuss prevention or education needs, scope and pricing.
