Spiders are part of life in Brisbane, but too many around the house can be a nuisance. In Chermside, people often call about webs across the eaves, spiders in window frames and letterboxes, and the odd large huntsman inside. Some spiders, like redbacks, shelter in sheds, under outdoor furniture and in pot plants, and they are worth dealing with near play areas. Webs across doorways and verandahs also collect dust and make outdoor areas feel neglected.
Spider control is often booked along with a cockroach treatment, and that makes sense. Spiders feed on insects, so fewer cockroaches and other insects around the home means less for spiders to eat. The crew we book can treat both on one visit, which saves you a second day at home. A tidy yard with less clutter also gives spiders fewer places to settle.
A spider treatment usually covers:
- Removal of webs from eaves, windows and doorways
- A spray to eaves, window frames and external walls
- Treatment of fences, sheds and outdoor furniture where needed
- Attention to letterboxes, electricity boxes and garage corners
Before the visit, move toys, washing and outdoor cushions out of the way. Keep pets and children away from sprayed areas until they are dry. New webs may appear for a short time as spiders cross treated surfaces, and the crew can talk you through what to expect. Spider numbers tend to rise in the warmer months, so many people book in spring before the webs build up. If you have seen redbacks near a play area, mention it on the call so the crew can check there first. Call 07 3543 7772 to get upfront pricing for spider control in Chermside and book a nearby crew.
