Snakes are not Pests they are beautiful animals that are greatly misunderstood by the majority of people. Yes, we have some of the world’s most venomous and deadliest snakes in the world right here in Australia so it is understandable why people are scared of snakes. Though we hope to put you at ease with our Snake Identification and catching services.
Sometimes snakes need to be caught and released back in the bush away from our homes. Snakes are a protected species and it is illegal to kill or harm snakes.
Areas we cover are The Illawarra, Wollongong, Sutherland Shire
Snake Bite First Aid
Pressure bandage and immobilisation is the correct first aid method for snake bites. If you are bitten by a snake and are not an expert, treat every bite as a venomous bite. Most bites occur on the legs or arms. In this case, stay calm and stay still. If you have a pressure bandage, wrap the entire limb firmly and use a splint to stop movement in the limb. Snake venom travels through the lymphatic (muscular) system, so staying calm and not moving helps slow the spread of venom. Once the bandage is applied, call an ambulance for assistance.

Snake bites need precise and quick action. Follow the given steps for first aid:
Call Emergency Services Immediately
Dial 0400 739 462 to contact our professional snake catcher while keeping the victim stationary and calm.
Immobilise the Limb
Use splints for keeping a victim still, calm, and avoid moving. This will minimise the amount of progression of venom through the body.
Avoid Dangerous Methods
Tourniquets, incisions to the bite, suction/extraction of venom by mouth (or other methods) will only increase the extent of the injury.
Transport Safely
Move the victim ONLY if absolutely necessary; maintain limb immobility while moving the victim.
Apply a Pressure Immobilisation Bandage
Wrap a firm bandage over the bite site and the entire limb to slow venom spread through the lymphatic system.
Do Not Wash the Bite or Remove Clothing
Keep the bite site intact and keep the clothing on for the medical professionals to assess.
Monitor Vital Signs
Observe for signs of breathing, pulse, and consciousness until medical help arrives.
