Signs You Need Spider Removal

Addressing a spider problem early helps to prevent rapid population growth and minimises the risk of bites from venomous species. It also keeps your home safe, clean, and free from additional pest problems that may attract spiders.

Think you’ve got a spider problem in your home? Here’s what to look out for:

  • Excessive Webbing: Spiders often create webs in corners, windows, and outdoor areas such as verandas or garden sheds. If webs reappear frequently, it could be a sign of a larger issue.
  • Frequent Sightings: Finding more spiders around the house or garden, especially near doorways or in dark, undisturbed areas, is a good indication that they have settled.
  • Egg Sacs: Spiders will lay eggs in concealed areas. They look like small white sacs and are often found in hidden spots like closets or under furniture. Finding more of these around your home suggests a growing population.

If you spot these signs, it’s time to consider a professional spider removal service.

Our Spider Removal Services

Here at Defender Pest Control Specialists, we offer comprehensive spider removal services in Melbourne. Our approach is thorough, and we follow a tried and tested process to tackle infestations:

Targeted Treatments: We use a specialised spray for interior skirtings, cornicings, roof voids, and other common hideouts. We can also apply a ceiling cavity and subfloor treatment where access permits. This targets spiders in the places they’re most likely to hide.

Comprehensive Exterior Protection: We treat perimeter walls, eaves, guttering, fencelines and verandas. Leaving webs for 1-2 weeks after treatment allows for maximum efficacy, and spiders are fully eliminated.

We customise our spider pest control plans to suit your needs, from small infestations to more extensive issues, ensuring effective results. For businesses dealing with spider issues, check out our Commercial Pest Control services for tailored solutions.
