Spiders do well on the Sunshine Coast, with plenty of insects to eat and mild 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. Homes with cockroaches often have more spiders too, because the spiders are feeding on them. Outside lights draw moths and flies after dark, and spiders build webs nearby to catch them. Sheds, garages and pergolas that are not used often also collect webs, and redbacks like dry, sheltered spots such as stacked pots, gloves left outside and the underside of outdoor chairs.
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 gardens and bushland, so treatment keeps numbers down rather than removing every one. New webs may 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 pairs well with a cockroach or perimeter treatment, since fewer insects means less food for spiders. We book spider treatments across the Sunshine Coast. Call 07 3543 7767 to book a time.
