Never step past the snake to do this.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Keep watch from a distance.<\/strong> A couple of metres is the minimum; further is better. Note where it goes so you can tell the catcher.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Leave it alone.<\/strong> Don&#8217;t try to catch it, trap it under a bucket, hose it or kill it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How we handle urgent calls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you call, we&#8217;ll ask for your suburb, where the snake is now and whether anyone&#8217;s at risk. We then contact local catchers who cover your area and connect you with one who can attend. The catcher confirms their price and timing with you directly before setting off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We won&#8217;t guess at arrival times or make promises we can&#8217;t keep. If no catcher is available in your area, we&#8217;ll tell you so you can make other arrangements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">After hours<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Snakes are most active in the warmer months, and calls don&#8217;t only come during business hours. Late-night availability varies between catchers and areas, so please call and we&#8217;ll tell you honestly what&#8217;s possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"\/snake-catching-sydney\/\">How snake catching works in Sydney<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"\/what-to-do-if-you-find-a-snake\/\">What to do if you find a snake<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"\/snake-safety\/\">Snake safety and first aid<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Snake in your house, yard or business right now?
