Spider Control

As professionals, we do a number of things in a spider treatment depending on the type of spider and your situation. These may include

  • Thoroughly check all likely habitats such as corners of windows, along cornices and skirting, behind curtains, in ceiling voids, gutter lines, outdoor furniture and garden areas, and advise on potential entry points.
  • Application of kids and pets safe products into crack and crevice. This is where Redback spiders hide, and makes sure we don’t miss any spiders.
  • Interior/ exterior spray. This prevents access to you home by spiders
  • Surround your house with long acting liquid treatments. This stops spider (and insects) gaining access to your dwelling/business
  • For White Tails spiders (Wandering spiders) application of insecticide dust into attic space. This technique is very common in Australia and treats all spiders and insects in your attic

Most households don’t want spiders due to the fear and anxiety they can cause. In and around people’s homes, in Western Australia, the only spider proven to be lethal is the Redback spider. There has been an effective antivenin for this spider since 1956 and there have been no deaths from a Redback spider bite in Australia since 1955. We also have many species of the large Trapdoor spiders and, although venomous, none of these are considered life threatening. Still spiders such as the White Tail and Redback can produce a nasty bite, produce unsightly webbing
