Spiders do well in Birkdale, with leafy gardens, waterfront decks and outdoor lights that draw a steady supply of insects. Most people call about webs building up across eaves, windows, pergolas and outdoor furniture, or about finding redbacks in sheds, under outdoor chairs or around the letterbox. Huntsman spiders in garages, cars and bedrooms are another common call.
The crew we book treats the places spiders live and build, starting outside with eaves, window frames, fences, pergolas, decks, garden sheds and outdoor furniture. Webs within reach are brushed down, and a treatment is applied to the surfaces spiders cross. Inside, the crew looks at corners, behind furniture, the garage and the roof space where needed.
- Webs on eaves, gutters and window frames

Because spiders feed on other insects, cutting down the insects around your home helps. Switching outdoor globes to yellow or warm white, closing blinds at night and keeping pot plants and stored items off the walls all reduce spider numbers. Wear gloves when moving things in the shed or garden, and shake out shoes left outside. Redbacks like dry, sheltered spots close to the ground, so check under outdoor chairs, pot plants and the lips of bins before reaching in with bare hands.
New spiders move in from gardens and bush over time, so many Birkdale households book spider control as part of a general visit each year. You get the price before the visit. To book, call 07 3543 7767.
