Spiders are common in Brisbane, particularly in leafy streets and homes close to parks and creeks. Most are harmless, but webs across doorways, huntsmen on the bedroom wall and redbacks under the outdoor furniture are enough to make most people pick up the phone. A spider treatment targets the places spiders live, build webs and hide during the day.
When you call, we ask what kinds of spiders you are seeing and where. The crew we book then treats the outside of the home, where most spiders live, as well as the indoor corners and frames they use. Webs within reach are brushed down, and the treatment is applied to the surfaces spiders walk over and build on.
- Eaves, gutters, downpipes and the roofline
- Window and door frames, security doors and light fittings
- Garages, carports, sheds and under stairs
- Outdoor furniture, pot plants, letterboxes and fences
- Roof spaces and subfloors where access allows
To get ready, shift outdoor furniture, bikes and stored items away from walls, and put pet bowls and children's toys inside. The crew will tell you how long to keep people and pets off treated surfaces. Webs may keep appearing for a short while as spiders come into contact with the treatment.
Homes in Brisbane with lots of garden, timber decks or bush nearby tend to see spiders return over time, so many people book a spider treatment each spring.
