A backyard snake was an unwelcome surprise for tenants at a rental property on Star Road, Lindfield. Their rental agency contacted Snakes in the City, and SITC responded promptly to help.
Our catcher found a red-bellied black snake in the backyard, quickly captured it and humanely relocated it to a more suitable location. The tenants and agency were grateful for the quick, professional service.
Practical support for rental agencies and tenants
When a tenant reports a snake, a property manager can make a stressful situation easier by arranging professional help and passing on clear information. This Lindfield call-out is another example of SITC working with a rental agency to resolve a snake problem.
Keep the message simple: the property address, where the snake was last seen, whether it remains visible, and how the catcher can safely access the yard. Agree on a contact person so the agency, residents and catcher can coordinate attendance.
What should tenants do while waiting?
Stay clear of the affected area and keep children and pets away. Do not try to catch the snake, hose it away or search through vegetation if it disappears. Only watch from an already safe position, and tell the catcher if its location changes.
Our backyard snake advice explains the next steps. For species information, see our red-bellied black snake guide; do not approach an unfamiliar snake to identify it.
