First Aid

​

If you discover a snake in your yard, remain calm, be responsible and remove any children or pets from the area the snale is in.:

1. Stay Calm: Remember that snakes are generally more afraid of humans than we are of them. Staying calm and composed is crucial.

2. Ensure Safety: Keep children and pets at a safe distance from the snake. This not only protects your loved ones but also reduces the snake's sense of threat.

3. Contact Professionals: Call Snake Catchers 24/7 on 0484033337. We specialise in snake location, catching and removal in Sydney.

4. Watch from a safe distance: While waiting for assistance, keep an eye on the snake from a safe distance. This helps in locating the snake when the experts arrive.

Please note that call-out fees apply.

In case of a snakebite:

• Do Not Wash the Bite Site: Avoid washing the area, as it can hinder venom detection. The hospital needs the venom for proper treatment.

• First Aid: Comfort and reassure the person who is bitten. Apply a pressure bandage using a heavy Crepe bandage, starting from the limb's ends and continuing to the shoulder/hip. Mark the bite location on top of the bandage for medical reference.

• Call for Help: Dial 000 or 112 on mobiles immediately.
