Older homes with verandahs, lattice and big backyards give spiders plenty of places to live, and Dinmore has lots of them. Black house spiders build lacy webs in window frames and under eaves. Daddy long-legs gather in ceilings and garages. Huntsman spiders wander inside on warm nights, and redbacks tuck themselves under outdoor furniture, in letterboxes, wheelie bin rims, pot plants, sheds and the dark corners under raised homes.
When you ring, we ask where you are seeing spiders and which kinds, if you can tell. We give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew. The crew we book treats the places spiders shelter and hunt, including the outside of the home, sheds, carports and the space under the house. They take extra time around play areas, clotheslines and outdoor seating, where people spend time close to redback hiding spots.
A spider treatment typically includes:
- Brushing down webs from eaves, verandahs and windows
- Spraying eaves, window frames, door frames and fences
- Treating sheds, carports and garages
- Dusting the roof void and underfloor areas where they can be reached
- Checking outdoor furniture, play equipment and pot plants
Spiders go where their food is, so homes with plenty of small insects around outdoor lights tend to have more webs. Yellow outdoor globes and tidy sheds help between treatments. Wearing gloves when moving stored items in sheds is a good habit too. If someone is bitten, call 000 or ask a doctor or the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26.
