Spiders are part of life on the Gold Coast, and homes in Palm Beach with gardens, patios and bushland nearby see plenty of them. Nobody wants webs across the front door or a huntsman on the bedroom wall. Redback spiders also turn up in sheds, letterboxes, pot plants, pool fences and under outdoor furniture, which is a worry for families with young kids.
The crew we book treats the places spiders live and hunt. Spiders feed on other insects, so a home with lots of flying insects around the outside lights or ants in the garden often has more spiders too. A spider treatment usually goes hand in hand with a general treatment for that reason.
- Webs brushed down from eaves, window frames and outdoor areas
- A spray around eaves, gutters, fences, sheds and garden edges
- Treatment of the roof void and subfloor where access allows
- Targeted treatment of redback hiding spots such as letterboxes and outdoor furniture
- Advice on outdoor lighting and clutter that draws spiders in
Webs can return in the weeks after a treatment as spiders move in from the garden and neighbouring yards, but the treated surfaces keep working on them for a while. Leaving new webs for a few days before brushing them down gives the treatment a chance to work.
