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

With warm summer days now here, snakes will be more active in the vegetation, creek surrounds, and open areas of Modenia.

Residents are advised to be aware of their surroundings and proceed with caution should they see a snake.

Melton City Council has a free professional snake removal service available that we recommend residents use if they spot a snake within the estate.

If you do come across a snake on Council land or at your residential property, leave it alone and immediately contact Council on 9747 7200, and they'll arrange for the snake to be removed by a professional catcher, at no cost. More information can be found on the council website

Anyone who encounters a snake is advised to:

• Be aware, alert and do not approach a snake.
• Safely remove any people or pets from the area where the snake was sighted.
• Do not try to capture the snake.
• Melton City Council has a free professional snake removal service available by calling 9742 7200.
