You Don't Have to Live With Sydney's Spiders
Webbing spiders — orb weavers, black house spiders, daddy long legs — build around eaves, windows and fences. They're mostly harmless, but nobody enjoys walking face-first into a web every morning. External treatments knock these populations down dramatically.
Ground-dwelling spiders are the serious ones. Redbacks shelter under outdoor furniture, in sheds and around clutter, while funnel-webs burrow in gardens and wander at night in the warmer months — sometimes ending up in pools, shoes and garages.
Because ground-dwellers don't sit on webs, they need a different approach: treating the burrows, harbourages and entry points where they live and hunt.
Redback and funnel-web bites are medical emergencies. If dangerous spiders are turning up near play areas, shoes or washing baskets, it's time to act.

Spider FAQ
Common Questions
Which dangerous spiders live in Sydney?
The two to take seriously are the Sydney funnel-web and the redback. Funnel-webs burrow in gardens and wander on warm, humid nights; redbacks nest in dry, sheltered spots like outdoor furniture, sheds and letterboxes. Both bites need immediate medical attention.
Will one treatment get rid of every spider?
An external treatment dramatically reduces webbing spiders, and results last for months. Ground-dwellers like funnel-webs are harder to eliminate entirely because they wander in from surrounding bushland and gardens — that's why we treat harbourages and entry points, and recommend seasonal top-ups in high-pressure areas.
Are spider treatments safe for kids and pets?
Yes. We use registered products applied to the areas spiders actually use — eaves, cracks, harbourages — not blanket-sprayed over living spaces. We'll let you know if any areas need a short re-entry window while treatment dries.
When is spider season in Sydney?
Late spring through autumn is peak activity — funnel-web males wander in the warmer, humid months, and webbing spiders multiply fast over summer. A treatment in late spring keeps the whole season quieter.
What can I do to keep spiders down between treatments?
Shake out shoes and washing left outside, keep clutter off the ground in sheds and garages, trim vegetation away from walls, and turn off unnecessary outdoor lights — they attract the insects spiders feed on.
