It’s shaping up to be an eventful snake season in Adelaide, but keeping your garden neat can prevent this slithery scourge from descending upon your home.
We’ve already seen the bouts of sweltering heat, notorious of Adelaide summers, and our fork-tongued population is seeking respite in a garden near you.
A bumper harvest season, coupled with last year’s drizzly summer, has brought about a mice plague, driving the influx of serpents into the suburbs as they chase their meal of choice.
In October, a video posted on the Snake Catchers Adelaide Facebook page captured an enormous Eastern Brown removal from the letterbox of a Seaford Rise home.
Twenty-three snakes were discovered in the one Clarendon property, while November saw Greenfield Wetlands, near Mawson Lakes, closed to the public following several dangerous snake sightings.
Snakes are well suited to suburban living, enjoying many creature comforts humans provide—water, food, and shelter. They like to use covered areas close to the ground, commonly found near Adelaide homes.
Suppose your garden is looking a little unloved, and you are looking for the perfect excuse to bring in a professional garden maintenance and lawn-mowing service—to avoid a chance encounter with some of Australia’s deadliest snakes. In that case, it is your best one yet!
Tall grass provides the perfect invitation for snakes to linger on your lawn. Regular mowing reduces the prospect of a scaly new pal, or, at the very least, you won’t tread on one who has cozied up in unkempt foliage.
If your garden is cluttered with leaves, mulch, and debris, this is a veritable plea for reptiles to move in on your turf. A first-class garden maintenance professional will clear away your unwanted refuse, eliminating serpent hidey-hole and leaving you with more space to enjoy your outdoor haven.
Hedge trimming is another important snake-avoidance measure. Mice and frogs like to reside in dense shrubs, and snakes are biologically hardwired to track down their dinner. Keeping your hedges and bushes trimmed and tidy will deter snake fodder from your yard.
Consider the type of greenery you have in your garden. Low-hanging trees and plants make it a cinch for snakes to slither up and get comfy in the backyard. Prune low-lying branches so that snakes won’t have a leg-up to a shady abode, or better yet, let our garden maintenance professionals handle that tricky undergrowth instead.
Snakes are not aggressive creatures and only lash out when they perceive danger. Keeping your lawn mowed and your garden tidy and well-maintained will allow you to spot one easily rather than happening upon one’s hiding place.
Whether your snake fear borders on ophidiophobia or the thought of a wriggly visitor mildly miffs you, no one wants their summer Barbie ruined by an unwelcome guest, or the kids spooked out of playing outdoors. You want your garden to be a place of enjoyment and relaxation.
