How to Identify if You Have a Spider Problem :

You may have a spider infestation if you notice:

  • Webs in corners, under eaves, around windows, sheds, or garages
  • Egg sacs attached to walls or outdoor furniture
  • Frequent spider sightings, especially inside at night
  • Bite marks or unexplained irritation after sleeping or working in sheds
  • Jumping or fast-moving spiders seen around skirting boards, bathrooms, or outdoor areas

Spiders prefer quiet, undisturbed areas — which means they can multiply unnoticed until activity suddenly spikes.

Spider Behaviour

How to Identify if You Have a Spider Problem :

Spiders play an important role in controlling insects, but when they move indoors, they can quickly become a nuisance or hazard.
Typical behaviors include:

  • Building webs to trap insects (web-building spiders)
  • Hunting on foot without webs (ground spiders)
  • Hiding in dark, sheltered areas, such as behind furniture, under outdoor equipment, or inside roof spaces
  • Breeding rapidly during warm, humid weather

Common Victorian species include:

  • Redback Spider – venomous; often found in sheds, BBQs, and letterboxes
  • White-Tail Spider – known for painful bites; hides in clothing and bedding
  • Huntsman Spider – large but mostly harmless; often enters homes in search of food
  • Black House Spider – builds messy webs around windows and gutters 

Understanding spider behavior allows us to apply precise treatments to eliminate them and discourage re-entry.

 Most spider bites cause only mild irritation, but certain species — such as the Redback Spider and Funnel-Web Spider — can cause serious illness and require urgent medical attention.

If bitten:

  • Seek medical attention immediately for any suspected funnel-web or redback spider bite
  • Monitor symptoms closely and see a doctor if pain, swelling, or nausea develops or persists
  • If possible, capture the spider safely for accurate identification

Those most at risk include:

  • Young children and older adults
  • Individuals with pre-existing heart or cardiovascular conditions
  • People living in high-risk environments (e.g. sheds, gardens, or outdoor workplaces)




🏠 In the Home 

  • Painful and sometimes dangerous bites (particularly from Redbacks and White-Tails)
  • Allergic reactions or anxiety in sensitive individuals
  • Web buildup in corners, walls, and ceilings — affecting cleanliness and appearance
  • Hiding in clothing, shoes, or bedding, posing bite risks indoors
     

💼 In Businesses

  

  • Health and safety concerns for staff and customers
  • Negative impact on presentation and reputation, especially for cafes, retail, or childcare centres
  • Increased cleaning costs due to constant web removal
  • Workplace anxiety when spiders appear in offices or amenities

Prevention Tips

   Did you know that spiders are the most common venomous creature in Australia with approximately 10,000 species within our complex ecosystem? Our technicians are trained to exterminate all spiders on your property with the use of central nervous system poisons naturally derived from the chrysanthemum flower. These poisons when applied correctly, create a repelling barrier around the property that will deter them from making your property their new home.

We recommend yearly spide

 residential pest control maintenance with Spider treatment as over time the chemical weakens and needs to be re-applied to keep spiders away from your property for good.

 Did you know that the average acre of land contains approximately one million spiders in most areas? 

 All our commercial pest control work comes with a pest management folder that meets local council approval.
