Spiders are part of life in Brisbane, but some homes in Sunnybank get far more than their share. Black house spiders build lacy webs in window frames and brickwork, daddy long-legs spiders fill ceiling corners, huntsman spiders show up inside when the weather changes, and redbacks hide in garden sheds, under outdoor furniture and in children's toys left in the yard.
The crew we book focuses mainly on the outside of the house, where most spiders live and hunt. They treat eaves, gutters, window and door frames, pergolas, fences and garden sheds, and brush away webs they can reach. Inside, they treat corners, wardrobes and garages where spiders hide. The roof void can also be treated if spiders are coming through gaps in the ceiling. If you have children or pets, mention it so the crew can plan the order of the visit and tell you how long to keep everyone clear.

Spiders go where their food is, so homes with lots of insects around outdoor lights or in the garden will draw them in. Use yellow bug-light bulbs outdoors, keep shrubs trimmed back from the walls, and store toys and gardening gloves in closed boxes. Shake out shoes left outside before putting them on. Clearing clutter from garages and under-house storage removes the dark, quiet spots redbacks prefer.
In Sunnybank, homes with big gardens, sheds and outdoor living areas often benefit from an outside spider treatment each spring. You are given the price before the visit. Call 07 3543 7769 to book spider control.
