Spider Control – Webbing and Predatory Spiders

Got a house full of creepy crawlies? C&C Pest Control will fix your spider control problem, fast.

There is something about a spider which many people find unsettling; whether it’s the erratic way they move, their strange appearance or their prominence in folklore and movies, spiders have never been the most popular house guest.

At C&C Pest Control our ‘professional pest removalists’ can take care of both venomous and nonvenomous spider infestations.

Why do I have spiders in my home?

In short, because your home is dry, quiet, and full of bugs. Many species of spider like to build their web in quiet, dark places where there aren’t too many draughts and they won’t be disturbed; most buildings fit all of these criteria. Perhaps most crucially, a spider will go where there is abundant prey, and the average home accommodates plenty of bugs and insects. Wherever there are people there are insects, and wherever there are insects there are bound to be spiders.

Are spiders dangerous?

Some spiders are venomous, and indeed, Australia is home to some of the most venomous spiders in the world. Queensland is home to several species including the white tail, red back, and black house spider varieties – and almost every building in and around our towns will have at least one of these dwelling somewhere!

The majority of household spiders are not dangerous and in fact help keep bug populations in check. Indeed, most spiders we encounter are unlikely to bite unless provoked (i.e. if you stick your hand into their web or step on them). Typically they don’t need to be removed unless they are appearing in large numbers. If you find yourself encountering Spiders repeatedly though, you likely have an infestation.

Spider Control: How can I get rid of them?

Generally speaking, pesticides are only a short term solution for spiders and are only a useful solution if you have an infestation or are seriously concerned about the short term welfare of your children and pets. Our professional technicians are fully licenced and will safely and efficiently kill spiders in your household or business but inevitably, some spiders will return.

How do I keep spiders away?

Regular housekeeping is the best way to keep arachnids at bay. Things like regular sweeping and dusting to remove cobwebs will keep the population to a minimum. In addition to this, performing regular garden maintenance such as pruning vegetation, sealing gaps and openings from the outside environment, as well as keeping stored items or wood stacks and any debris away from your home will also reduce the number of arachnids entering.

C&C Pest Control Offer longer term solutions for arachnids and offer spot treatment options.
