Spiders are part of life in Thornlands, with bushland, gardens and warm weather giving them plenty of insects to feed on. Most calls are about webs building up around eaves, windows and outdoor lights, spiders in garages and garden sheds, and the odd large huntsman or redback turning up somewhere unwelcome, such as a letterbox, shoe rack or play equipment.
The crew we book focuses on the places spiders live and hunt. Outside, that means eaves, window frames, fences, pergolas, outdoor furniture, garden sheds and the underside of decks. Webs are brushed down where they can be reached, and a treatment is applied to the surfaces spiders walk and build on. Inside, the focus is on corners, behind furniture, the garage and the roof space if needed.

Outdoor lights draw the insects that spiders feed on, so switching to yellow globes or turning lights off when not needed can make a real difference. Keeping woodpiles, pot plants and stored items away from the walls removes hiding spots. Shaking out shoes, gloves and gardening gear that has been left outside is a good habit in Thornlands, especially over summer.
Webs can come back as new spiders move in from surrounding bush, so many households book a spider visit alongside a general pest visit. If you have noticed a particular spider, a photo helps us describe the job to the crew. You get the price before the crew arrives. To book spider control, call 07 3543 7768.
