Spiders are generally small and nimble and they will often find their way inside your home through open windows, gaps in floorboards, open windows or even as passengers on your shoes. Although hard to prevent entirely here are some tips on how to minimise spiders from entering your home or workplace:
Redback spiders are a venomous species of spider that are found in many parts of Australia, including Brisbane. They are very distinct and easy to identify being entirely black with a prominent red striped abdomen. While their bites are rare, they can be dangerous if provoked.
Symptoms of a redback spider bite may include pain at the site of the bite, sweating, nausea, and vomiting. In severe cases, the venom can cause muscle weakness, difficulty breathing, and even death.
Please consider wearing gloves and long sleeves when gardening, shaking out clothing and shoes before putting them on, and keeping living and work spaces free of clutter and debris where spiders may hide. If you suspect that you have been bitten by a redback spider, it's important to seek medical attention immediately to receive appropriate treatment. Alternatively, we can help eradicate your spider problems before anyone is bitten.

Signs of a spider infestation may include the presence of spider webs, egg sacs, or spiders themselves. Spiders are most active at night, so you may also see them moving around your home in the evening.
Most spider species are generally harmless to humans. However, some spider species, such as the funnel-web spider or the redback spider, are venomous and can pose a risk to human health. And contrary to what you may have read about White Tailed Spiders, their bite is akin to that of a bee sting and doesn't cause necrotic ulcers.
You can prevent spiders from entering your home by sealing cracks and gaps in windows and doors, removing clutter from your home, and using insect screens on windows and doors. It's also a good idea to keep outdoor lights turned off at night, as they can attract insects that spiders feed on.
Absolutely! But it does depend on the level of infestation and type of spider. While there are DIY methods for getting rid of spiders, it's often best to leave spider pest management to the professionals. As trained and certified pest management professionals we have the tools and knowledge necessary to safely and effectively eliminate spider infestations.
Yes, our spider pest treatments are generally safe for your family and pets. Professional pest management companies use safe and effective products that are specifically designed to control spider populations while minimising the risk to humans and pets.
The frequency of spider pest control services will depend on the severity of the infestation and the type of property you have. In general, it's a good idea to have your property inspected and treated for spiders (and other pests) on a regular basis to prevent infestations from occurring.
