Spiders are part of life on the Sunshine Coast, but they can take over eaves, outdoor lights, garages and sheds if nothing is done. Homes close to bushland, creeks and canals tend to see the most, along with houses that have thick gardens, stacked timber or lots of outdoor clutter. Webs build up quickly in the warmer months, when there are plenty of insects around for spiders to feed on. Many people also find spiders in letterboxes, pool fences, play equipment and the frames of sliding doors.
When you call, we ask where the webs are, whether you are seeing spiders inside and how big the property is. Tell us about any sheds, pool areas or play equipment you would like included. We give you upfront pricing, then book a nearby independent crew. The crew we book will usually:
- Brush down webs from eaves, windows and outdoor lights
- Spray the outside walls, eaves, fences and garden edges
- Treat garages, sheds, carports and pergolas
- Dust the roof space and subfloor where spiders shelter
- Treat window frames, door frames and weep holes
Brushing down webs before spraying lets the treatment reach the surfaces where spiders walk and rest. You may still see a few spiders after the visit, since new ones wander in from the garden, but numbers around the house should drop. Turning off outdoor lights when they are not needed means fewer insects at night and less food for spiders. Clearing stacked pots, timber and boxes away from the walls also removes hiding spots.
