At Concept Termite and Pest Management, termite inspections sometimes reveal more than just termite activity. During a recent roof void inspection at a property in Berrinba, our technician came across an unexpected visitor — a large Carpet Python inside the roof space.
A Surprise in the Roof Void
While conducting a routine termite inspection, our technician entered the roof cavity and quickly noticed signs of animal activity. Among the insulation and roof timbers was a carpet python resting inside the roof void.
Snakes occasionally find their way into roof spaces, especially in areas throughout Queensland where suitable habitat surrounds residential properties.
Why Snakes Enter Roof Voids
Roof cavities can provide ideal conditions for snakes:
• Warm sheltered environment
• Protection from predators
• Quiet undisturbed areas
• Potential food sources such as rodents
Often, when snakes are seen around a property, it can indicate rodent activity nearby, which is another common pest issue homeowners experience.
Why Professional Termite Inspections Are Important
A thorough termite inspection includes checking the roof void, subfloor areas, exterior structures, and surrounding conditions that could attract pests.
During inspections we often find:
• Evidence of termite activity
• Rodents in roof spaces
• Possums or birds nesting in cavities
• Snakes that have entered roof voids
Identifying these issues early helps homeowners take preventative action before they become larger problems.
Snake Catching and Relocation Services Available
Although the snake in this case was simply discovered during the inspection, Concept Termite and Pest Management can assist with snake capture and relocation when required.
Handling snakes without training can be dangerous, so professional assistance is always recommended if you discover a snake inside your home or roof space.
