Spiders are part of life in Mount Gravatt, with its leafy streets and bushy backyards. Webs across eaves, windows and outdoor furniture are a nuisance, and some spiders such as redbacks like to shelter in sheds, letterboxes and under outdoor chairs. Spider control cuts back the numbers around the house and makes the outside areas more pleasant to use.
The crew we book treats the outside of the home first. That includes eaves, gutters, window frames, fences, pergolas, garden sheds and the underside of outdoor furniture. Webs are brushed down where they can be reached. Inside, the crew treats corners, skirting boards and cupboards where spiders shelter, along with the garage and laundry. Most homes get a combined inside and outside treatment in the one visit.
- Eaves, gutters and window frames
- Fences, pergolas and outdoor furniture
- Garden sheds, letterboxes and pot plants
- Garages, laundries and storage areas
- Indoor corners and skirting boards
Spider numbers rise in the warmer months, and webs often come back within a few weeks as new spiders move in from gardens and bush. Try not to wash down treated walls and eaves for a couple of weeks, so the treatment stays in place. Trimming plants back from the walls of the house and turning off outdoor lights at night can also reduce the insects spiders feed on.
Spider control is often booked with a flea or cockroach treatment to cover everything in one trip.
