Spiders
Although spiders can be poisonous they do not usually cause harm. In fact, since the successful introduction of anti-venom in 1956 there have been very few fatalities from spider bites. But we still do not want them around the home.
Spiders aren’t all bad they can be very beneficial insects by helping control mosquitoes and other pests for you. If your the kind of client who likes to keep the beneficial insects in the garden we will leave this area out of the treatment. Treatment methods are always communicated prior to the job.
Treatment
This starts with an inspection of your property to ascertain where the spiders are nesting and harbourage areas.
Interior
Treating spiders inside your home will involve applying a product to:
- Floor edges in all rooms
- Directly treat spiders and webbing
Roof Void
Is treated with Pyrethrum powder, pressure injected into the void. The powder will penetrate all nooks and crannies, controlling them fast.
Exterior
We treat around windows, doors, eaves, gutters, external walls, gardens, fencing and interior and exterior of sheds and garages and any areas where spiders could be hiding.
Spraying all harbourage areas, leaving no areas for spiders to hide, treats the subfloor.
Ground Dwelling Spiders
For dangerous spiders such as Funnel Webs, Mouse or Trapdoor spiders we can use a non-repellent product, which does not aggravate them and prevents flushing them out. These products slowly kill the spiders and they die in their burrows.
We would only recommend a ground Spider service if the problem were severe, as it can be ineffective, at times, on small infestations. Ground dwelling spider services are not covered under our General Pest Service.
Some of the common spiders you may find around your home are:
Sydney Funnel Web Spider
Red Back Spider
Huntsman Spider
Trap Door Spider
Black House Spider
Mouse Spider
White Tail Spider
Garden Orb Weaver Spider
Daddy Long Legs Spider
