Spiders are part of life in Brisbane, but nobody wants webs across the front door or a huntsman on the bedroom ceiling. Redbacks like dry, sheltered corners such as sheds, letterboxes and outdoor furniture, while black house spiders build messy webs around window frames and eaves. Leafy yards and homes near parks tend to see more of them.
When you call, tell us which spiders you are seeing and where. We give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew. The crew we book treats the places spiders live and hunt, inside and out, and brushes down the webs so you can tell if new ones appear. Webs that come back within days point to an active nest nearby, so the crew looks closely at those spots.

Spider numbers climb in the warmer months when there are more insects around for them to eat. That is why many people book spider control with a general pest treatment in spring. Cutting back plants that touch the house and keeping outdoor lights off when not needed also helps. Clearing leaf litter and stacked pots away from the walls removes more hiding spots.
If someone is bitten and feels unwell, call 000, or ask a doctor or the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26. Tell the crew about any spiders you have spotted near where children play. To book spider control in Brisbane, call 07 3543 7769 and we will arrange a local crew.
