Snake removal services
Experienced help for the place you found it
Our back office allocates call-outs using the working roster, catcher availability and known mapped locations. Several catchers give us more options when someone is already on a job. Read how we arrange your response.
We offer cost-effective snake removal, with no extra loading for nights, weekends or public holidays. The call-out fee covers travel, the catcher’s time, safe handling and humane relocation. Call our team to discuss the fee and arrange attendance.
For preparation before a sighting, ask about toolbox talks and property snake-proofing.
Do I need pest control or a snake catcher?
If you are searching for pest control or pest removal because you have found a snake, contact a licensed snake catcher directly. A pest-control business that does not offer licensed snake handling may need to refer your enquiry, adding a step and potentially delaying arrangements. Some pest controllers also provide licensed snake catching; ask whether an appropriately licensed handler can attend.
Keep people and pets away and do not approach, trap or try to kill the snake. Call Snakes in the City on 0411 103 488. Our team checks catcher availability and location to arrange attendance. Confirm the call-out fee and estimated arrival when you call.
How much does a snake catcher cost in Sydney?
A paid call-out fee applies for snake removal. Call 0411 103 488 to discuss your location and the situation, and confirm the fee before arranging attendance. The call-out covers travel, assessment, the catcher’s time and equipment, with safe capture and humane relocation when possible. A snake may move or hide before the catcher arrives, so capture cannot be guaranteed. Snakes in the City does not add extra loading for nights, weekends or public holidays. Photo identification is free; attending your property for removal is a paid service. Keep people and pets away while you call, and only take a photograph from a safe position.
