Frequently Asked Questions

Why do spiders come indoors?

Spiders may enter homes or buildings in search of food, shelter or mates. Insects like flies, ants or moths often attract spiders indoors. During warmer months or after rainfall, spiders may move inside to escape environmental conditions. Cracks, open windows, vents and gaps under doors can allow them easy access. Garages, bathrooms, cupboards and ceiling corners are common hiding places. Reducing indoor lighting, sealing entry points and limiting insect activity are all effective ways to make your space less attractive to spiders. If spider activity is frequent or includes dangerous species, it’s best to call a pest control professional.
How can I prevent spiders between treatments?

To reduce spider activity between pest control treatments, regularly remove webs with a broom or vacuum. Keep indoor spaces free from clutter and clean window sills, corners and ceiling areas often. Reduce insect activity by installing fly screens, sealing entry points and turning off unnecessary outdoor lighting at night. Spiders feed on insects, so fewer bugs indoors means fewer spiders. Outdoors, trim vegetation away from walls and ensure storage items are off the ground. If spider numbers begin to rise again, contact your pest provider for advice. Some properties may benefit from biannual or quarterly treatments, depending on the location.
Are spiders dangerous to have around the home or workplace?

While most spiders are harmless, some species can pose a health risk. In Australia, the redback and funnel-web spiders are medically significant and may deliver painful or potentially dangerous bites. Even non-venomous spiders can cause anxiety or discomfort for many people. Webs in corners, ceilings or garden areas can also create a messy appearance. In workplaces, particularly hospitality or childcare settings, visible spiders may affect customer confidence. Regular spider control helps reduce risk and improve cleanliness. It's important to note that some spider bites may require medical attention, so identifying and managing infestations early is always a smart precaution.
