We treat the eaves, window and door frames and corners where webbing spiders build, to reduce numbers. Spiders can drift back in, so keeping webs cleared after treatment is an important part of the service.
Open Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm. Weekends on request. Servicing Brisbane CBD, Greater Brisbane, North Brisbane and Moreton Bay.
Covered by: webbing spiders are part of General pest management. For huntsmen, white-tails and other spiders that do not build webs, call us and we will tell you what can and cannot be treated. Spiders can drift in on the wind and move in from neighbouring properties, so treatment reduces numbers but we cannot promise a home with no spiders.
Webbing spiders around the home
Black house spiders
Build untidy, lacy webs in window frames, door frames, eaves, brickwork, fences and sheds. They are shy and mostly stay in their retreat during the day. Webs often build up in the same spots year after year.
Cobweb spiders
Build loose, tangled webs in corners, under eaves, behind outdoor furniture, in garages and under furniture indoors. This group includes the common house spiders that many people see.
Why they keep coming back
Webs go where insects go. Outdoor lights, garden beds against the house, clutter, and gaps around windows and doors give spiders food and places to hide.
What we do
We inspect, then treat the eaves, window and door frames, corners and other areas where webbing spiders live, and give you simple tips to reduce hiding spots. Treatment reduces numbers, but spiders can move back in.
Redbacks. Redbacks are a type of cobweb spider, so our webbing spider treatment applies to them. It targets adult spiders. Egg sacs have a tough outer layer that treatment does not penetrate, so we cannot promise to clear a redback nest. Once the 14 days are up, clearing webs and egg sacs regularly is how you keep numbers down (see Web care below). Huntsmen, white-tails and other spiders that do not build webs are not part of the general program. Call us and we will tell you what can and cannot be treated. If someone is bitten and unwell, or you are unsure, call the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26 or seek medical help.
What helps
1
Remove hiding spots
Clear bricks, rubbish and timber.
2
Web care
Please leave the webs in place for 14 days after a treatment, so spiders pick up the treatment. After that, it is important to clear all webs and egg sacs, and keep clearing them. This is your part of the service and it is what keeps numbers down. Wear gloves and bag and bin what you remove.
