Hot summer weather often sees snakes and other reptiles that normally keep a low profile
venture into people's yards in search of food and water.
These animals are usually non-aggressive and are protected species
in NSW. We understand concerns about safety, however these snakes
do not in any way belong to the M5 and it is the responsibility of
residents to deal with the issue.
We have an active grass cutting and rubbish clearing programme to alleviate the problem, but as a
part of our natural heritage snakes are native to the woodlands and fire breaks surrounding the M5.
Rather than fear these slithering Australian's, we suggest you take some simple precautions to ensure they
do not find a home in your yard:
| Keep your yard clean and free of
old building materials, woodpiles and rubbish where snakes
can shelter. |
| Make sure your lawn is kept short.
|
| Be watchful of water bowls, garden
ponds and swimming pools. |
| Clean up 'mousy' areas (like aviaries,
dog and poultry pens) where food attracts mice and rats.
|
| Don't throw rubbish over the back
fence. |
|
If you do however encounter a snake or other unwanted reptile, please
remember the best course of action is to let a professional deal with
it.
CALL THE NPWS HURSTVILLE OFFICE ON 9585 6444, OR WIRES ON
8977 3333 TO HAVE THE ANIMAL REMOVED SAFELY. |
