Spider Treatments

Our highly qualified pest control technicians provide thorough and effective spider treatments designed to protect your home from unwanted spiders and help prevent them from returning.

Our spider control treatment combines professional-grade liquid sprays with targeted insecticidal dust applications. We focus on common spider entry points and harbourage areas, including around doors and windows, weep holes, cracks, crevices, external walls, foundations and other areas where spiders may enter or hide.

Inside the home, we target key areas such as floor edges and corners, roof voids, garages and underneath or behind appliances where spiders and other pests commonly shelter. By combining internal and external treatments, we create a comprehensive protective barrier around your property.

We don't just treat the spiders you can see. Our treatment is designed to target the areas where spiders live, breed and enter your home, helping provide effective and long-lasting control.

For the best ongoing protection, we recommend regular spider treatments to maintain the protective barrier around your property. Our friendly technicians can also provide practical advice on reducing spider activity, including sealing potential entry points and minimising harbourage areas.

Our priority is to provide a safe, professional and effective treatment while helping keep your home, family and pets protected from unwanted spiders.

Why Spiders Are Considered Pests ?

While spiders can play a useful role in controlling other insects, they can quickly become an unwanted pest when they begin living in and around your home. Australia is home to many different spider species, including some that can pose a potential risk to people and pets.

Spiders commonly build webs and hide in roof voids, garages, sheds, outdoor entertaining areas, around windows and doors, underneath furniture and in other dark, undisturbed areas. Once established, their presence can make areas of your home uncomfortable to use.

Some spider species can bite when disturbed or threatened, potentially causing pain, swelling, skin irritation and other symptoms. For this reason, spiders should always be approached with caution, particularly when the species cannot be confidently identified.

Professional spider control treatments help reduce existing spider activity while targeting common hiding places and entry points around your property. Treating the problem early can help prevent spider populations from becoming established and provide greater protection for your home and family.

Spider Bite Symptoms

Spider bite symptoms can vary depending on the species of spider, the amount of venom involved and the individual’s reaction to the bite. While many spider bites cause only mild discomfort, bites from medically significant Australian spiders can require urgent medical attention.

Common symptoms associated with spider bites may include:

• Pain, burning or stinging at the bite site
• Redness or swelling around the affected area
• Tightness or stiffness near the bite
• Nausea or vomiting
• Difficulty breathing
• Increased or excessive saliva production
• Facial muscle twitching or spasms
• Muscle tightening or involuntary limb contractions
• Reduced or slowed reflexes
• Weakness or paralysis of the lower limbs
• Pupils or eyes responding poorly to light

It is strongly recommended that you see your health care practitioner if you are experiencing these symptoms and you believe that a spider could have bitten you.

More serious symptoms can include difficulty breathing, severe pain, excessive sweating, confusion or loss of consciousness. Funnel-web spider bites should be treated as a medical emergency. Redback bites can also cause significant symptoms and should receive prompt medical assessment.

If you suspect a bite from a dangerous spider, or the person develops severe or worsening symptoms, seek urgent medical assistance. Avoid attempting to catch or handle the spider, as this may result in another bite.

A Few Tips to Help Keep Spiders Away

There are a few simple things you can do around your home to help reduce spider activity and minimize the chance of unwanted encounters:

• Wear enclosed shoes when walking outdoors, particularly at night.

• Avoid leaving shoes, clothing, towels, toys and other belongings outside or on the ground overnight.

• Take extra care after periods of heavy rain or wet weather, as spiders may move from their usual hiding places in search of shelter.

• Always wear protective gloves when gardening, moving timber, clearing rubbish or working around sheds and storage areas.

• Regularly check dark and undisturbed areas where spiders may hide, including garages, sheds, roof spaces and outdoor furniture.

• Keep gardens, vegetation and stored materials tidy around the exterior of your home.

• Seal cracks, gaps and potential entry points around windows, doors and walls where possible.

• Remove spider webs around the property regularly to discourage spiders from becoming established.
