Spiders are part of life in Brisbane, especially in homes near bush, creeks or large gardens. Most are harmless, but many people do not want huntsmen in the bedroom, webs across the front door or redbacks under the outdoor chairs. A spider treatment focuses on the places spiders build webs and hide, both inside and around the outside of the home.
When you call, we ask what kind of spiders you are seeing and where. Web-building spiders like to set up under eaves, in window frames, behind downpipes and in the corners of garages and carports. Ground spiders and hunting spiders move about at night and shelter under pot plants, garden edging and outdoor furniture. The crew we book treats those areas and knocks down existing webs where they can reach them.
- Eaves, gutters and the edges of the roofline
- Window frames, door frames and security doors
- Garages, carports, sheds and storage areas
- Outdoor furniture, letterboxes and pot plants
- Subfloors and roof spaces where the crew can get access
You will usually see fewer webs within a few days, though new spiders can still wander in from outside over time. Homes that back onto bushland in Brisbane often book a spider treatment each spring, before the warm months when spiders are most active.
To get the home ready, shift outdoor furniture and stored items away from walls so the crew can reach the corners. Put children's toys and pet bowls away. The crew will tell you how long to keep people and pets off treated areas. If someone is bitten and you are worried, call 000 or ask a doctor or the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26.
