Spiders are common across North Geelong, especially in older homes with timber frames, sheds and big gardens. Black house spiders build messy webs in window frames and brick gaps. Huntsman spiders wander inside in summer. White-tailed spiders hunt at night and often turn up in bedding and piles of washing. Redback spiders like dry, sheltered spots under outdoor furniture, in letterboxes and around the shed.
When you call, tell us which spiders you are seeing and where. We give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew who does spider treatments around Geelong every week. Spiders feed on other insects, so homes with lots of bugs around the outside lights often see more spiders too. The crew treats the places spiders live and hunt, not just the webs you can see.
- Web removal from eaves, windows and door frames
- A residual spray around the outside walls, fences and garden edges
- Treatment of sheds, garages, carports and outdoor furniture
- Dust in the roof space and wall voids where needed
- A check of letterboxes, electricity boxes and play equipment for redbacks
Before the visit, move things away from the outside walls and clear clutter in the garage so the crew can reach the corners. Keep windows closed for a few hours after the outside spray. New webs may appear over the next couple of weeks as spiders cross the treated surfaces, and they usually slow down after that.
If someone is bitten, call 000 if they are very unwell, or ask a doctor or the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26. To book spider treatment in North Geelong, call 03 7053 9842.
