Spiders are part of life in Sunnybank, with its parks, bushland and leafy gardens. Webs build up quickly across eaves, window frames, patio corners and outdoor furniture, and some spiders such as redbacks like to shelter in garages, letterboxes, pot plants and under outdoor chairs. Spider control cuts back the numbers around the home and makes outdoor areas more pleasant to use.
The crew we book treats the outside of the home first, including eaves, gutters, window and door frames, fences, pergolas and garden sheds. Webs are brushed down where they can be reached. Inside, they treat corners, skirting boards, wardrobes and the garage, where spiders often shelter out of sight. Most homes get both inside and outside treated in the one visit. The crew will tell you what they plan to use before they start.
- Eaves, gutters and window frames
- Fences, pergolas and patios
- Garden sheds and letterboxes
- Garages and storage areas
- Indoor corners and wardrobes
Spider numbers rise in the warmer months, and new spiders move in from gardens and parkland over time. Webs that come back in the first week or two are often from spiders moving in from nearby, not a sign that nothing happened. Try not to hose down treated walls and eaves for a couple of weeks so the treatment stays in place. Trimming shrubs back from the house and switching off outdoor lights at night also means fewer insects for spiders to feed on.
