Spiders build webs under eaves, around window frames and along fences all through the warmer months in Mount Gravatt. Many are just a nuisance, but people often want them cleared from outdoor living areas, sheds and play areas, and the webs make a home look untidy. Spider control is often booked alongside ant work, as the same crew can do both in one visit.
The crew we book treats the places spiders like to shelter and build webs, both inside and outside the home. They look at eaves, pergolas, window and door frames, garden sheds, letterboxes and under outdoor furniture. Redback spiders tend to hide in dry, sheltered spots such as under decks, in bins and among stored items, so these get a closer look. Huntsman spiders often come inside in summer and hide behind curtains, pictures and in car sun visors. They are mostly treated where they shelter around windows and eaves.

Spiders already sitting in webs are usually dealt with on the day, while the treatment on surfaces helps with spiders that walk across them later. It helps to knock down old webs a day or two after the visit. Fewer insects around the house also means fewer spiders, which is another reason people pair spider control with ant or cockroach work.
