Spiders are part of life in Melbourne's west, but too many webs around the house are a sign of a bigger insect problem, and some spiders are worth keeping away from children and pets. Around Caroline Springs, the ones people call about most are redbacks in sheds, letterboxes and under outdoor furniture, white-tailed spiders inside, and black house spiders and daddy long-legs in corners, window frames and eaves.
The crew we book treats the places spiders live and hunt. Outside, that means eaves, window and door frames, fences, garden sheds, pergolas, electricity boxes and play equipment. Inside, it means corners, ceiling edges, behind furniture and in garages. Webs are brushed down where they can be reached, and a residual spray is applied to surfaces where spiders walk and rest. Most homes need a visit once or twice a year, usually in spring and again in late summer.

Spiders go where their food is, so fewer insects means fewer spiders. Outdoor lights draw moths and flies at night, so yellow globes or motion-sensor lights help. Keep wood piles, bricks and pot plants away from the walls, and shake out shoes, gloves and washing left outside. If someone is bitten, call 000 if it is serious, or ask a doctor.
Spider treatments are popular before summer and before parties or family visits. Call 03 7053 9836 and we will give you upfront pricing and book a crew near Caroline Springs.
