Spiders are everywhere in Ipswich, from webs on verandahs and window frames to redbacks in sheds, letterboxes and under outdoor furniture. Large gardens, bushland edges and older timber homes all give them plenty of shelter and food. While many spiders simply make a mess of webs, some, like redbacks and white-tailed spiders, are ones you would rather keep away from children and pets.
The crew we book treats the places spiders gather and shelter. That includes the eaves, verandahs, window and door frames, garages, sheds and garden edges, as well as the roof space and under the house. Because spiders eat other insects, the crew also looks at outdoor lighting and garden areas where insects gather, since fewer insects means fewer spiders. On larger blocks, sheds, water tank stands and stacked materials are common spots for redbacks, so tell us about them when you call.

- Roof space and subfloor dusting where it can be reached

Leave webs in place for about a week after the visit, as spiders need to walk over the treated surfaces. You may still see new webs for a while, especially on bushy blocks. Wear gloves in the garden and shed, and shake out shoes and gloves left outside. If someone is bitten, ask a doctor or call the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26, or call 000 if they are seriously unwell.
