Common question
How do you get rid of spiders around a Sydney home?
Spiders are controlled by treating harbourage, not webs. We apply a residual to eaves, window reveals, retaining walls, sub-floors, garden edging, fence lines and play equipment, and de-web accessible areas so returning webs are easy to spot. Funnel-web and redback pressure peaks October to March, so spring treatment gives the best result.
01What you notice
Most spider calls we take start with the same sentence: the kids found it. A redback under the trampoline frame, in the sandpit lid, behind the pot plants by the back door. Or worse, after a warm humid night in January, a funnel-web sitting in the bottom of the pool skimmer or wandering across the garage floor.
02Why it keeps coming back
You can't spray your way out of that with a can and a broom. Knocking down webs removes the evidence, not the population - the spider that built it is living in the retaining wall, the sub-floor, the mulch, the gap under the decking or the cavity behind the meter box, and it will rebuild by morning.
03How we solve it
So we treat harbourage. A residual band through eaves, window reveals, door frames, weep holes, retaining walls, sub-floor access, garden edging, fence lines and around kids' play equipment, plus de-webbing of accessible eaves and entryways so you can actually tell whether anything comes back. Activity climbs across Sydney from October and peaks through summer, which is exactly why a spring treatment does more than a January panic call.
