How can I SNAKE PROOF my dog?

There is no way to SNAKE PROOF your dog, or any other animal for that matter. Some dog trainers may use an aversion therapy technique to teach dogs to stay away from snakes, but this is not snake proofing. This merely teaches the dog to associate a snake(a fake snake) with an unpleasant experience. As it would be unethical and inhuman to use a real snake for this training, there is no guarantee that this would work in the event that the dog then encountered a real snake.

There's a snake in my yard. Can you come and get it?

Unless the snake is IN or ON your house or is threatening the lives of your family or pets, it is best to let the snake just go on its way. Bring everyone inside, shut the doors and windows and stay well away from the snake. If it is in the house ring us IMMEDIATELY and keep a watchful eye on the snake. DO NOT attempt to capture or kill the snake. That is how people get BITTEN. You don't want to get bitten.

I have heard noises in my roof at night? Is it a possum in my roof? Can you come and take it away?

It may be a possum, but if you hear the noise throughout the night it may be also be rats. It would be worthwhile having a look through the manhole. If you can see a large chink of daylight from inside the ceiling (in other words, there's a large hole leading to the outside world) then it is possible that you do have access and a possum may have entered.

I definitely have a possum in my yard. I want it taken away.

Possums are protected native wildlife. It is illegal to move possums more that 25 meters. Moving a possum is certain death for the possum and will not prevent another possum moving into the territory. Lock away your dogs and cats and the possum may move on of its own accord once it gets dark. If the possum has taken up residence in your house we can trap and remove it, but we need to release it into your yard. It's a good idea to install a possum box in an appropriate location in your yard, and then seal all entrances into your roof cavity.

I need to pull down a large old tree in my yard. Do I need to have it checked for wildlife?

If you live within the defined Koala Habitat area, you are required by law to have a Koala Spotter on site during any removal or action invloving a habitat tree. Many reputable arborists engage Spotter-Catchers to be on site prior to and during the removal of trees with hollows or signs of wildlife. Killing or injuring wildlife is illegal. If you believe your actions may kill or injured wildlife please call and discuss this matter with us.
