Marayong is an established residential suburb in the Blacktown LGA, sitting between Blacktown, Quakers Hill, Kings Park and Kings Langley. We attend Marayong properties for snake removal throughout the warmer months of the year. The most common species we catch here are the Eastern Brown Snake and the Red-bellied Black Snake.

You do not need to take a photo. You do not need to identify the snake. You do not need to follow it or get close. But if you can, try to keep a visual on the snake from a safe distance. If it disappears into cover, keep watching the spot where you last saw it — snakes will often reappear within minutes once the area goes quiet. Knowing where the snake last was makes our job much faster when we arrive. We stay on the phone with you, explain everything clearly, and guide you through the process from the moment you call.
Marayong is an established residential suburb with the kind of landscape that supports a steady snake population through the warmer months. The Main Western railway corridor runs through the suburb, and the open grass strips, drainage easements and vegetation that line the rail corridor act as continuous reptile habitat. The Parklea Correctional Complex sits within reach to the north, and the bushland and buffer zones around it function as a reptile refuge that feeds the wider corridor. Drainage corridors connect Marayong into the surrounding suburbs of Blacktown, Quakers Hill, Kings Park and Kings Langley, and the snakes we attend here have usually moved into the suburb from this wider network.
The housing stock in Marayong is largely older established residential — brick veneer and fibro homes on standard suburban blocks, with mature gardens, sheds, garages and the kind of accumulated yard storage that gives Eastern Brown Snakes plenty of hiding options once they have crossed into a yard. The drainage corridors, combined with the railway corridor and the Parklea bushland to the north, deliver the snakes. The established housing stock keeps them around.
We commonly find snakes in the following locations on Marayong properties:
The reptile-deterrent products sold at hardware stores — powders, sprays and ultrasonic devices — do not work. We don’t recommend buying them. What does help is anything that addresses the food, water and shelter snakes are looking for:
None of this guarantees a snake-free yard, but done consistently it does reduce the chance of a snake settling in.
A snake inside a Marayong home is an emergency. We attend snake-inside-the-house jobs in Marayong throughout the warmer months. We respond as quickly as we can, locate the snake, remove it safely, and check the house is secure before we leave.
