Spiders are part of life in Essendon, especially in homes with mature gardens, sheds and big old trees. Black house spiders build messy webs in window corners and under eaves, huntsmen come inside on warm nights, daddy long-legs gather in ceilings and corners, and redbacks settle into dry, sheltered spots like letterboxes, pot plants, bike sheds and outdoor furniture.
A spider treatment targets the places they live and hunt. The crew we book sprays the outside walls, eaves, window frames, fences and pergolas, then treats inside along skirting boards and around doors. Roof spaces get a dusting where they can be reached, and garages and sheds can be added when you book. Older homes with timber verandahs and lattice often need extra attention.
- Webs brushed down from eaves and window frames before spraying
- Outside spray on walls, eaves, verandahs and fences
- Inside treatment along skirting boards and door frames

When you call, tell us which spiders you are seeing and where. We give you upfront pricing on the phone and book a nearby independent crew. Keep children and pets away from treated areas until the spray has dried. If someone is bitten, call 000 or ask a doctor or the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26.
Spider numbers rise quickly in spring and summer, so many homes book before the warm weather starts. Try not to wash the outside walls for a couple of weeks after the visit, so the treatment keeps working. Clearing clutter from sheds and under decks also gives spiders fewer places to hide.
