Brisbane's warm, humid weather suits spiders, and many homes in Brisbane have a steady supply of webs under the eaves, around window frames and across the garden. Most common house spiders are more of a nuisance than anything else, but webs build up quickly, and some people simply want fewer spiders near doors, outdoor furniture and play areas. Huntsman spiders wandering inside on summer nights are another common reason people call.
Spiders go where the food is, and their food is other insects. A home with lots of cockroaches and ants around the lights at night will usually have more spiders too. That is one reason spider control is often booked together with a cockroach treatment. Cutting down the insects near the house leaves spiders with less reason to stay.
- Web removal from eaves, window frames and door frames
- A targeted spray to eaves, gutters and outside walls
- Treatment of fences, garden sheds, letterboxes and outdoor furniture
- Checks of the roof space and subfloor where they can be reached
- Advice on outdoor lighting and clutter that draw spiders in
The crew we book will also point out any spiders that need more attention, such as redbacks under outdoor furniture, in pot plants or around the letterbox. The spray reduces spider activity for several months, though new spiders can move in over time, so many people book it once or twice a year. Leaving the outside lights off when you do not need them, and brushing down new webs with a broom, helps the treatment go further between visits.
Spider control suits houses, townhouses and units with balconies or courtyards. Call 07 3543 7765 to book spider control in Brisbane with an upfront price.
