Warm, humid weather and plenty of insects make New Farm a comfortable place for spiders. Webs build up under eaves and on balconies, huntsman spiders wander indoors on summer evenings, and redbacks tuck themselves into outdoor furniture, pot plants and letterboxes. Balconies facing the river can collect fresh webs overnight. Many people simply want fewer spiders around the doors and outdoor areas they use every day.
Spiders eat insects, so a home with lots of cockroaches, ants and flying insects around outdoor lights often has more spiders too. This is why many people book spider control and cockroach control together. Cutting down the food supply and treating the spiders' favourite spots works better than either one on its own.
- Web removal from eaves, windows, doors and balcony corners
- A targeted spray to eaves, gutters, frames and outside walls
- Treatment of fences, sheds, outdoor furniture and letterboxes
- Checks of the subfloor and roof space where they can be reached
- Tips on outdoor lighting, clutter and pot plants
The spray reduces spider activity around the home for a few months. New spiders can still arrive from gardens and nearby trees, so many people book spider control once or twice a year, often before summer. Brushing down any new webs with a broom between visits helps too. If you have young children or pets that use the yard, mention it when you book, and the crew will tell you how long to keep them off treated areas. Letterboxes, gate latches and the underside of outdoor chairs are worth checking with gloves on before you reach in.
Spider control suits houses, townhouses, and units with balconies or courtyards. Call 07 3543 7765 to book spider control in New Farm with an upfront price.
