Spiders are one of the most common reasons people in Ferntree Gully call us. Homes near the foothills see plenty of them, and even level streets get their share around gardens, garages and outdoor lights. Black house spiders build messy webs in window corners and under eaves. Huntsmen move indoors before rain, white-tailed spiders roam across floors at night, and redbacks settle into sheds, letterboxes, pot plants and outdoor furniture.
When you call, tell us where you are seeing spiders, what they look like and how many. We give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew who treats spiders in local homes every week. The crew clears the webs they can reach and treats the places spiders live and hunt.
- Web removal from eaves, window frames, pergolas and fences
- An outside spray around walls, eaves, garage doors and sheds
- Treatment of outdoor furniture, play equipment and letterbox areas
- Dust in the roof space where spiders shelter
- An inside spray around skirting boards, windows and doors
After the visit, leave outside webs alone for a week or two if you can. Spiders that come back to rebuild will cross the treated surfaces. Outdoor lights draw the insects spiders feed on, so switch them off when you do not need them. Wear gloves when you move pot plants, timber or garden gear, and shake out shoes and gloves left outside. Keep firewood and garden clutter a few metres from the house, as both give spiders a sheltered place to breed.
