Spider Control in Perth: Fewer Webs, More Peace of Mind
Redbacks under the outdoor chairs, webs in every corner of the eaves or spiders turning up inside? We'll help you take back your space.
Spiders we often find around Perth homes
Redback spiders
dry, sheltered spots like letterboxes, outdoor furniture, pot plants, sheds and meter boxes.
White-tailed spiders
often wander indoors at night, hunting other spiders.
Black house spiders
lacy webs in window frames, eaves and brick crevices.
Huntsman spiders
large and fast, often found on walls and in cars, usually more startling than dangerous.
Daddy long-legs
fine webs in ceiling corners and wardrobes.
Safety first with redbacks
Redback bites can be serious, especially for children and older people. If you have young kids playing outdoors, regular checks of play equipment, outdoor toys and sandpit covers are worth it.
Wear gloves when gardening or moving items from sheds, and never put your hands into places you can't see. If someone is bitten, seek medical advice promptly.
How we treat spiders
Spiders are best controlled by treating where they live and removing the insects they feed on. We treat eaves, window frames, door frames, fences, outdoor furniture areas, garages and the roof void. We also remove accessible webs and egg sacs.
Because spiders feed on other insects, a general pest treatment often works well alongside spider control.
Why spiders come inside
Spiders follow their food. Outdoor lights attract insects at night, and spiders build webs nearby. Gaps under doors, open windows without screens and cluttered storage areas give them easy access and shelter.
Use yellow or LED lights outside, which attract fewer insects
Fit door seals and repair fly screens
Reduce clutter in garages and storerooms
Shake out shoes, gloves and towels left outside
When to book
Spider activity often increases in spring and summer. Many households book a treatment before the warmer months and again if webs build up. If you're planning an outdoor event or have visitors coming, a treatment a week or two beforehand can make a big difference.
Spiders in sheds, garages and cars
Sheds and garages are spider havens: dark, quiet and full of places to hide. Redbacks often build webs under workbenches, inside stacked pots and behind stored items. We treat these areas carefully and point out where spiders are most likely to be.
Huntsman spiders sometimes hitch a ride in cars, especially if they're parked under trees. A quick look around the sun visor before driving can avoid a nasty surprise.
Keep your outdoor areas spider-friendly for you, not them
Stack outdoor chairs upside down or store them under cover
Clean under tables, BBQs and outdoor furniture regularly
Keep play equipment and sandpits clear of webs
Store garden pots away from the house
Wear gloves when moving bricks, timber or pots
These habits make your yard far less inviting for redbacks.
Pets and spider treatments
If you have dogs or cats, tell us when booking. We'll plan treatments so pets can be kept away from treated areas until they're dry, and we'll avoid areas where pets eat or sleep.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Can you get rid of all spiders?
Spiders will always be part of the environment, but treatment greatly reduces them around and inside your home.
How long does spider treatment last?
It depends on weather, location and how much spiders are attracted to the area. Many homes treat once or twice a year.
Do you remove webs?
Yes. We remove accessible webs and egg sacs as part of the treatment.
Are redbacks common in Perth?
Yes. They're common in sheltered outdoor spots like letterboxes, sheds, outdoor furniture and pot plants.
Are white-tailed spiders dangerous?
Bites can be painful, but serious reactions are uncommon. Seek medical advice if you're concerned about any bite.
Will treatment harm my garden?
We apply treatments to specific areas like eaves, frames and furniture rather than spraying gardens broadly.
Why do I see spiders after treatment?
Spiders may be disturbed and move around for a short time. Activity should drop over the following weeks.
Can I combine spider control with general pest control?
Yes. A general treatment covers spiders and the insects they feed on, which often gives better results.
