Snake Catcher Kemps Creek

Snakes in the City provides professional snake removal in Kemps Creek, including homes, acreage and commercial properties. If a snake is close to people or pets, keep clear and call with the exact address, its last-seen location and any site-access restrictions.

Suspected snakebite? Call 000 immediately. A snake catcher is not a substitute for an ambulance.

What to do when you see a snake

• Move away and keep children, visitors and pets out of the affected area. Do not try to catch, corner, hose or kill the snake.
• If you can watch from an already safe position, note where it goes. Do not follow it into grass, a drain, a shed or stacked materials.
• Call 0411 103 488. Tell us whether it is inside or outside, whether it is still visible, and if more than one snake has been seen.
• If it disappears, give the catcher its last-seen position and time. Leave potential hiding places undisturbed.

A photograph can help with snake identification only if you already have one taken safely. Never move closer to obtain a picture.

Kemps Creek: homes, acreage and warehouse access

Kemps Creek combines rural properties and waterways with substantial warehouse and logistics development around Mamre Road. The NSW Planning Portal records the local warehouse and logistics hub, while Liverpool Council’s floodplain information covers the Kemps Creek catchment. These are useful local context, not evidence that every property has snakes.

Warehouse yards, loading areas and worksites

If a snake is near a pallet stack, loading bay or hardstand edge, notify the site supervisor and keep workers away. Stop activity in the immediate area where it can be done safely; do not move pallets, use machinery to flush it out or ask a worker to handle it. Provide the correct vehicle entrance, gate number, on-site contact and any induction or access requirements when arranging attendance.

For a large Mamre Road address, tell us which building or yard is involved rather than relying on the street number alone. See our commercial-property snake removal guidance.

Rural blocks, sheds and animal enclosures

Describe the entrance and safe driveway access, particularly where the house is set back from the road or several properties share a driveway. Secure dogs somewhere away from the sighting if you can do so without approaching the snake. Keep people out of the affected shed or enclosure; do not lift sheets, feed bags or timber to look for the animal.

Our acreage guide and advice for snakes near pets explain these situations in more detail. A pet that may have been bitten needs urgent veterinary attention.

A real Kemps Creek call-out: two snakes on Mamre Road

SITC removed both a red-bellied black snake and an eastern brown snake from a Mamre Road property. The practical lesson is to tell the catcher about every snake seen, even if one has gone out of view. No interaction between the two snakes was reported.

Read the Mamre Road, Kemps Creek removal story, including why finding a red-bellied black snake does not rule out an eastern brown nearby.

Which snakes should you be aware of?

The Mamre Road job confirms both species in a local SITC call-out, but it is not a survey of the suburb. Red-bellied black snakes often use damp habitats; eastern brown snakes also use open and disturbed country. Both are venomous. Colour, size or proximity to water is not enough for safe identification.

Do not assume that a small snake is harmless or that a snake needs to be aggressive to pose a handling risk. Keep your distance regardless of the species.

Reduce hiding places around frequently used areas

After a sighting has been resolved, keep access paths and grass around buildings maintained, store materials so they can be inspected safely, and secure animal feed and rubbish that attract rodents. Arrange appropriate rodent control and advice about gaps into buildings. Do not start clearing a suspected hiding place while a snake may be inside.

These steps can reduce shelter and food around buildings; they cannot guarantee a snake-free property. Natural creek vegetation should not be cleared simply because a snake was seen. Read our backyard snake advice.

Questions about snake removal in Kemps Creek

How quickly can a catcher attend?

Call with the address and current situation. Our office checks catcher availability and location, then discusses attendance and an arrival estimate. Access arrangements and traffic can affect timing. See how SITC dispatch works.

What does a call-out cost?

A paid call-out fee applies. Confirm the fee when booking, including the property type, access and whether multiple snakes have been seen. SITC does not add extra loading for nights, weekends or public holidays. Photo identification is free; attending a property is a paid service.

Can you guarantee capture if the snake has disappeared?

No. A snake may move or hide before arrival. Tell us what happened so we can explain the attendance arrangements. Do not search through cover or try to hold the snake in place.

What happens to a captured snake?

The catcher handles the animal professionally and arranges humane relocation to a suitable location. Do not attempt to transport or release it yourself. Learn about Harley Jones and SITC’s experience.

What if someone may have been bitten?

Call 000, keep the person still and follow the ambulance operator’s instructions. Use pressure immobilisation for a bitten limb. Do not wash the bite, apply a tourniquet or try to catch the snake. Read Healthdirect’s snakebite first aid and our safety guide.
