Spider Control in Canberra & Queanbeyan
Redbacks in the garage, webs on the eaves, white-tails coming inside in autumn. Spiders are the most common pest call we get in Canberra. We treat the whole property so they have nowhere comfortable to live.

Spiders we treat in Canberra
Redback spiders
Dangerous and very common in Canberra. They hide in dry, sheltered spots: letterboxes, under outdoor furniture, in sheds, garages and pot plants.
White-tail spiders
Wander indoors at night, especially in autumn, and often end up in shoes, bedding and laundry.
Black house spiders
Leave messy, funnel-shaped webs in window frames, eaves and brickwork.
Huntsman & wolf spiders
Large and fast. Mostly harmless, but unwelcome inside cars, ceilings and living areas.
Warning signs
Signs you need spider control
- Webs building up on eaves, windows and pergolas
- Redbacks in the shed, garage, letterbox or under outdoor furniture
- Spiders coming inside in autumn as the nights cool
- Egg sacs in corners, sub-floors and roof voids
Our treatment
How we treat spiders
- Inspection of the house, garage, sheds, fences and garden edges
- Webs brushed down from eaves and window frames (de-webbing)
- Residual spray to eaves, window and door frames, and the outside walls
- Dust treatment to the roof void and sub-floor where spiders shelter
- Targeted treatment of outdoor living areas, letterboxes and fences
Prevention
Keep spiders away after we leave
A professional treatment does the heavy lifting. These simple habits help keep your home pest-free for longer:
- Keep wood piles, rubbish and boxes away from the house
- Shake out shoes, gloves and washing left outside
- Trim plants back so they don’t touch walls and eaves
- Reduce outdoor lighting at night: it attracts the insects spiders eat

FAQ
Spider Control questions
How long does a spider treatment last?
A full spider treatment usually gives good protection for several months, depending on weather, rain and how much shelter there is around the property. Many Canberra households book once a year, before the warmer months.
Is spider spray safe for kids and pets?
We tell you exactly what we use and how long to keep children and pets away from treated areas, which is usually until the spray has dried. We use targeted products only where spiders live and travel.
Will I still see spiders after the treatment?
You may see some dead or dying spiders for a few days. Spiders that walk across treated surfaces afterwards are affected too. Avoid washing treated walls and eaves for a few weeks.
