Most homeowners in Australia do the basics for pest proofing their home - keep the yard tidy, mow the lawn and clean the shed - but even the cleanest home can still attract snakes, rodents, insects or possums. Nature doesn’t care how ‘neat’ your home is; it cares about whether there is shelter, warmth and food.
Most pest species are willing to explore your home or yard, taking the chance that there might be any of those desirable hiding spots or food availability, even if there’s not. If you make your home directly unappealing, they won’t even bother. That’s why you need a proper last line of defence.
Why First-line Pest Proofing Solutions Aren’t Enough
Even with a tidy yard you can still get:
- Snakes along your fence
- Rodents under decks
- Possums in roofs
- Insects around water features

There are always hidden corners and cracks that can’t be monitored 24/7. That’s where protective pest repellent technology comes in.
What a Good Defence Setup Looks Like
A perimeter barrier
This is your main buffer between wildlife and your home. For snake safety this includes evenly spaced snake repellers around key areas such as fences, sheds, water features, garden beds and home entry points.
Secondary rodent deterrents
If mice or rodents are attracting snakes you need the second layer: ultrasonic rodent repellers, humane traps, sealed bins and reduced clutter - therefore reducing the attraction at the source.
Monitoring
A weekly check of known hotspots helps you find issues early and deploy proper pest control measures. Always be careful doing so.
Quick-response plan
If you see a snake step back, keep pets away and call a licensed snake catcher. Never try to move a snake yourself.
