Around 30 snake and spider bites have been reported across the New England in the past year, with that number predicted to rise in the coming months.

In October, paramedics attended 28 calls for snake bites alone across NSW, an increase on September’s total of 14 and higher than the 19 recorded for the same October period in 2015.

Northern Tablelands Wildlife Carers secretary, Carla Borin said being prepared was the best way to deter pests.

"Snakes and spiders are officially out,” Ms Borin said.

“In the case of snakes and spiders, prevention is the best cure. 

“It’s time to mow and wipper snip lawns and areas with long grass.  

“Weed and tidy up garden beds and pick up any items lying on the ground.”

Ms Borin said taking such precautions can prevent attracting snakes on the move.

“By removing these from our gardens we make them less inviting,” Ms Borin said.  

“All of these actions will also make our gardens less inviting to spiders as well.”

NSW Ambulance Inspector John Brotherhood said paramedics were urging people to also be on the lookout for funnel web spiders, redbacks, white-tails and trap door spiders.

“Around the home, remove piled up debris from the yard and keep lawns mowed to reduce the potential for unexpected visitors,” Mr Brotherhood said.

“Check items of clothing that have been left outside before wearing them. 

“Paramedics attend many cases where people have put on boots and gloves and been bitten by spiders and even snakes which were hidden inside. 

“Also if you lift something such as a rock or log, lift it with it facing away from you.”

If you find a snake contact the NTWC emergency number on 1800 008 290 or call WIRES on 1300 094 737.
