Snakes love the warmer summer months just as much as you!

\nResidents are advised to be aware of their surroundings and proceed with caution should they see a snake.
\nThe City of Greater Geelong Council has a free professional snake removal service available that we recommend residents use if they spot a snake within the estate.
\nIf you do come across a snake on Council land or at your residential property, leave it alone and immediately contact Council on 03 5272 5272, and they’ll arrange for the snake to be removed by a professional catcher.
\nMore information can be found on the council website
\nAnyone who encounters a snake is advised to:<\/p>\n
Be aware, alert, and do not approach a snake
\nSafely remove any people or pets from the area where the snake was sighted
\nDo not try to capture the snake
\nCall the Council or a professional snake catcher to remove the snake from the area
\nIf someone does get bitten by a snake, call 000 immediately
