Spider Pest Control & Prevention for Sydney Homes
You want spiders gone quickly, safely and for good. We deliver targeted residential spider pest control treatments that remove those skittery arachnids and help stop them from coming back. We deliver our services across Sydney’s Northern Beaches and Lower North Shore — from Manly and Dee Why to Freshwater, Curl Curl, Narrabeen, Mosman, Cremorne, and Neutral Bay. We’re a local, family-owned team led by expert pest specialists, Sasha and Emma Sollo, who are fully licensed and insured. We use natural methods that are safe for families and pets, and comply with Australian health standards.
Which Spiders Are Common In Our Area?
Our service area is home to a wide range of spider species. The most frequently encountered include:
Venomous species to watch for
- Sydney Funnel-web Spider (Atrax robustus) — One of the most dangerous spiders in the world, commonly found in bushland gardens across the Northern Beaches and in leafy Lower North Shore suburbs such as Mosman and Cremorne.
- Redback Spider — Painful bites that can cause severe symptoms requiring medical attention — commonly found in gardens, under decking, and in outdoor furniture.
- White-tail Spider — Frequently found indoors, known for causing slow-healing wounds. Common throughout Northern Beaches and Lower North Shore homes.
- Mouse Spider — Often confused with funnel-webs; found in ground burrows in gardens and lawn edges.
Common web-building spiders
- Black House Spider, Garden Orb-weaving Spider, St Andrew’s Cross Spider, Daddy Long-legs — harmless but create unsightly webs in ceiling corners, eaves, window frames, and storage spaces.
Running and ground-dwelling spiders
- Huntsman Spider, Wolf Spider, Trapdoor Spider, Jumping Spider — these hunt on the ground at speed and can startle residents and pets. Huntsmen are particularly common indoors across the Northern Beaches and Lower North Shore.
How to Spot a Spider Problem in Your Home?
The most obvious sign is webs — intricate webs in ceiling corners, eaves, and window frames, or large flat sheets in undisturbed spaces like the garage or subfloor. You may spot flies or insects caught in the web, with the spider nearby. Running spiders like huntsmen and wolf spiders announce themselves by moving quickly across walls and floors, often in the evening. Egg sacs — small silken pouches in sheltered spots — are a warning sign of a growing infestation.
Our spider pest control treatment methods
Inspection
Our experienced technicians inspect your property thoroughly — inside and out — identifying the species present, nesting locations, and entry points.
Targeted spider treatment
We apply safe, effective treatments to cracks, crevices, eaves, subfloor vents, and webs. We target both web-building and ground-dwelling species, including the venomous species common to coastal and bushland-adjacent suburbs.
Prevention advice
We show you how to make your home less attractive to spiders — sealing entry points, reducing outdoor lighting that attracts insects, and clearing debris from garden beds and fencing.
What to expect after spider pest control treatment
- Spiders may still be visible for 5–14 days as the treatment takes effect.
- A temporary increase in spider activity is normal — it means the treatment is working.
- You should notice a steady decline after the first week.
- If spiders are still present after two weeks, we’ll return and re-treat at no extra cost within our service warranty period.
Spider pest control safety in your house
- Bait stations are tamper-resistant and locked — please don’t move or open them.
- Keep children and pets away from bait stations and out of roof voids or subfloors.
- Avoid vacuuming or sweeping near treated areas during the treatment period.
