With big gardens, timber decks and bushland close by, Endeavour Hills has no shortage of spiders. Redbacks hide in garden sheds, letterboxes, pot plants and outdoor furniture. White-tailed spiders wander into bedrooms and laundries at night, huntsmen appear on walls and ceilings when the weather turns, and black house spiders fill the corners of windows and eaves with messy webs.
A spider treatment covers the places where spiders live and feed. The crew we book starts outside, treating eaves, window and door frames, fences, pergolas, and the undersides of decks and outdoor furniture. They also brush down webs so you can easily see if new ones appear. Inside, they treat the spots where spiders are getting in, and they can cover garages and garden sheds if you ask. Tell us about any areas you want left alone, such as vegetable gardens or ponds, when you book.

Spiders go where the insects are, so homes with bright outdoor lights and thick garden beds against the walls tend to see more of them. Swapping to yellow outdoor globes, keeping plants trimmed back from the house and storing firewood away from the walls all help. Tell us if redbacks have turned up near sandpits, cubbies or outdoor toys, so the crew can check those spots closely.
