Why Spider Control Should Not Wait
What it costs you to leave the problem alone.
Redback bites
The redback is a genuinely medically significant spider and is common right across suburban Melbourne. Bites cause severe local pain, sweating and nausea, and are a particular concern for young children. They favour exactly the spots people reach into without looking.
White-tailed bites
Bites cause a painful local reaction and can ulcerate in some people. Because these spiders hunt at night and shelter in fabric, most bites happen from bedding, towels or clothing left on the floor.
Webbing and staining
Black house spider webbing collects dust and leaves dark staining on render, window frames and eaves that does not wash off easily.

How To Identify Melbourne Spiders
Melbourne homes get spiders all year, and most of them are harmless. The reason people call is usually one of two things: webs that keep coming back around the eaves and windows, or a redback found somewhere the kids play.
- Redback spiders are matte black with a red or orange stripe on the back of the abdomen. They build a messy, tangled web low down: under outdoor furniture, in letterboxes, behind pot plants, in the shed and under the barbecue.
- White-tailed spiders are dark grey with a small white spot at the tip of the abdomen. They wander at night hunting other spiders and are often found in bedding or clothes left on the floor.
- Huntsman spiders are large, flat and fast, and sit on walls and behind curtains. They are not dangerous, but they are the reason a lot of people ring us.
- Black house spiders build untidy funnel webs in window frames, weep holes and the corners of the eaves, and leave the grey webbing that comes back every few weeks.
Signs You Have A Problem
Spot any of these and it is worth getting the property looked at.
- Webbing that reappears in the same window corners and eaves within a fortnight of being knocked down.
- Funnel-shaped webs in weep holes, brickwork gaps and window frames.
- Tangled webs under outdoor furniture, on the underside of the barbecue and around the letterbox.
- Egg sacs, which look like small pale silk balls, tucked into sheltered corners.
- Spiders appearing indoors at night through autumn, when the males are on the move.

When They Are Worst In Melbourne
Spider activity in Melbourne builds through spring and peaks over summer, when redbacks are most numerous and most likely to be in outdoor furniture and play equipment. Autumn brings the second wave, as male huntsman and white-tailed spiders wander indoors looking for mates. A treatment applied in early spring covers the whole high-risk period.
Why DIY Usually Fails
Knocking webs down and spraying the spider you can see clears that one spider. It does nothing to the surfaces the next generation will build on. A professional treatment works because it puts a residual barrier on the places spiders actually travel: eaves, window frames, weep holes, fence lines and under the decking, so new arrivals pick it up as they move in.

Reduce clutter in garages, sheds, and storage areas where spiders hide.
Seal window gaps and door frames to prevent spider entry.
Remove outdoor debris piles and keep firewood away from the house.
Regularly vacuum corners and behind furniture.
