Spiders do well on the Sunshine Coast. Warm nights and plenty of insects around outdoor lights mean webs build up quickly on eaves, window frames, pergolas and fences. Most callers are dealing with a mix of black house spiders, daddy long-legs, huntsman and orb weavers, and some find redbacks in sheds, letterboxes and under outdoor furniture.
The crew we book starts by brushing down webs and egg sacs, then treats the places spiders shelter and hunt. Outside, that means eaves, gutters, window frames, doors, garden edges and the underside of decks. Inside, they treat corners, the backs of furniture, the roof void and the garage. Taking away old webs also makes it easy to see if new ones appear.

Spiders go where the insects are, so cutting down insects near the house helps. Yellow or warm-toned outdoor globes draw fewer insects than bright white ones. Keep firewood, pot stacks and garden gear off the ground and away from walls, and wear gloves when moving things in the shed or garden. If anyone is bitten and feels unwell, call 000 or see a doctor.
Webs tend to come back on eaves over time as new spiders move in from gardens and bushland, so many people on the coast book a spider treatment each spring before the warm weather arrives. Tell us if you have a shed, carport or deck, as these often need extra attention. Call 07 3543 7766 for upfront pricing and a booking with a local crew for spider control across the Sunshine Coast.
