Leafy streets, old gardens and big trees mean plenty of spiders across the Eastern Suburbs. Black house spiders build tangled webs in window corners, under eaves and along fences. Redbacks favour dry, sheltered spots such as garden sheds, pool fences, electricity boxes and the underside of outdoor chairs. Huntsmen slip in through gaps around doors, and white-tailed spiders wander indoors at night hunting other spiders.
Because most spiders live and feed outside, a spider treatment focuses on the outside of the home and the places spiders use to get in. We give you upfront pricing when you call and book a nearby independent crew for a time that suits.
- Spraying of eaves, window frames, door frames and pergolas
- Web removal from reachable high corners
- Treatment of sheds, garages, carports and pool fences
- Spraying of letterboxes, electricity boxes and garden walls
- Roof space and subfloor dusting where needed
Leave webs in place before the visit so the crew can see where spiders are busiest. Afterwards, avoid hosing down the outside walls for a few weeks. It is normal to see some spiders for a short while as they cross treated surfaces. If someone is bitten, call 000 in an emergency or ask a doctor.
Spider activity builds from spring into autumn, so late spring is a popular time to book in the Eastern Suburbs. Homes near parks, creeks and bushy gardens may need a treatment more often, and homes with lots of outdoor lighting tend to attract more webs, because the lights draw in the insects spiders feed on.
