Spiders do well on the Sunshine Coast, with plenty of insects to eat and warm nights for most of the year. Huntsman spiders turn up on walls and in cars, black house spiders build messy webs in window frames, and redbacks hide under outdoor furniture, pot plants and letterboxes. Most spiders are harmless, but nobody likes a web across the front door. Webs also build up around outside lights, where flying insects gather after dark, and in the corners of garages, sheds and pergolas that are not used every day. Redbacks like dry, sheltered spots such as the underside of outdoor chairs, gloves left in the shed, stacked pots and the inside of letterboxes.
When you call, tell us where you are seeing spiders and webs, and whether you have a shed, pergola or large garden. We give you upfront pricing and book an independent crew that works near you. The crew we book treats the places spiders live and hunt, inside and out.
- Eaves, window frames and door frames sprayed and de-webbed where reachable
- Garages, sheds and pergolas treated
- Fences, letterboxes and outdoor furniture checked for redbacks
- Roof space and subfloor treated where needed
- Advice on outside lights that draw insects and spiders
Spiders will keep coming in from the bush and gardens, so treatment keeps numbers down rather than wiping them out. New webs can appear for a few days as spiders cross treated surfaces. Sweeping away old webs every few weeks makes new activity easier to spot. If you are worried about a bite, ask your doctor, or call 000 if someone is unwell.
Spider control is easy to add to a rodent visit, and many homes book both together. We book spider treatments across the Sunshine Coast. Call 07 3543 7768 to book a time.
