Signs You Have Spiders
- Webs in corners, eaves, windows and garden shrubs
- Egg sacs in webbing or hidden crevices
- Live spiders in shoes, gloves, stored boxes and under furniture
- Moulted skins in sheds and garages
Why Spiders Become a Problem
Redbacks and Funnel-webs pose genuine medical risk, particularly to children and pets. Heavy webbing is unsightly, and spiders indoors cause distress. Black house spiders are often mistaken for Funnel-webs and can deliver a painful bite.
Where We Commonly Find Them
- Eaves and window frames
- Sheds and garages
- Under outdoor furniture and play equipment
- Garden beds and rockeries
- Roof voids and subfloors
How We Inspect for Spiders
We identify web-building versus ground-dwelling species, locate egg sacs and harbourages, and check high-risk zones such as children's play areas, sheds and under outdoor furniture where Redbacks congregate.
How Spiders Treatment Works
Treatment includes web removal and treatment of harbourages, a residual perimeter spray to eaves, windows and entry points, and targeted treatment of known venomous spider locations. Roof voids and subfloors are treated where accessible.
Areas We Treat
- Eaves and gutters
- Window frames and door frames
- Sheds and garages
- External walls and perimeter
- Roof void
- Subfloor
How Long Treatment Takes
A standard spider treatment takes 45–75 minutes for an average home. Web removal is done on the day and residual protection lasts several weeks to months depending on weather and species.
What to Do Before Treatment
Remove clutter from verandahs and sheds where possible, secure pets, and clear children's toys from treatment zones.
What to Do After Treatment
Leave treated surfaces undisturbed for 24 hours, avoid washing down external walls for several days, and keep children and pets away until surfaces are dry.
When Follow-Up Treatment May Be Required
Follow-up is recommended seasonally for properties with recurring spider pressure, particularly those near bushland or water where Funnel-web and Redback activity is high.
Spiders Treatment Cost
Spider treatment cost depends on property size and whether internal treatment is required. Many customers combine spider treatment with a general pest treatment.
Prevention Advice
- Reduce exterior lighting that attracts flying insects (spider prey)
- Keep vegetation trimmed away from walls and eaves
- Wear gloves when handling stored items and firewood
- Seal gaps around doors and windows
- Remove webs promptly to discourage rebuilding
