Spiders love the mix of bushland, gardens and brick homes in Collingwood Park. Black house spiders build messy webs in window frames and under eaves. Daddy long-legs fill the corners of garages and ceilings. Huntsman spiders wander inside in summer, and redback spiders hide under outdoor furniture, pot plants, letterboxes and the rims of wheelie bins. Homes near bushland also see ground spiders such as wolf spiders around the yard.
When you call, we ask where you are seeing spiders and what kinds, then give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew. The crew we book treats the places spiders live and hunt, not just the webs you can see. They pay close attention to spots where children play, such as sandpits, swings and cubby houses, because redbacks like those sheltered corners.
A spider treatment usually covers:
- Webs brushed down from eaves, windows and outdoor lights
- Spray under eaves, around window and door frames and along fences
- Treatment of garages, carports and garden sheds
- Dust in the roof void where spiders and the insects they eat shelter
- Checks under outdoor furniture, play equipment and pot plants
Spiders feed on other insects, so homes with lots of small insects buzzing around outdoor lights tend to have more spiders. Switching porch lights to yellow globes and clearing clutter from sheds can cut down the numbers between visits. If anyone is bitten, call 000 or ask a doctor or the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26. To book spider control in Collingwood Park, call 07 3543 7765 and we will line up a local crew.
