Spiders follow their food source — insects. If your home has flies, mosquitoes, moths or other small insects, spiders will move in to hunt them. Outdoor lighting attracts flying insects, which in turn attracts spiders to eaves, verandahs and window frames. Cluttered storage areas, garages, and garden beds provide sheltered harbourage for ground-dwelling species like funnel-webs.
In Queensland's warm climate, spiders are active year-round with no true dormant season, meaning pressure on your property is constant. Homes surrounded by established gardens, backing onto bushland, or with unsealed roof spaces and subfloor voids are at higher risk of spider entry.
Professional spider treatment works by applying residual product to webs, harbourage zones and entry points, as well as clearing existing webs and egg sacs. This disrupts the spider population over several weeks rather than just the spiders visible at the time of service.
