Signs of a spider problem
Redback spiders are common across the Perth metro area, particularly in sheds, garages and undisturbed outdoor storage, and a bite needs medical attention. Perth's warmer months bring a noticeable rise in spider activity outdoors, right when families are using gardens, sheds and outdoor entertaining areas the most.
Webs building up around eaves, window frames, letterboxes or garden sheds faster than they can be swept away
Redback spiders, identifiable by the red or orange stripe on a shiny black body, found in sheds, under furniture, or in dark, undisturbed corners
White tail spiders, dark reddish-grey with a pale mark near the tip of the abdomen, found indoors or in bedding and clothing
Egg sacs, small silk pouches, attached to webs or hidden in sheltered spots
How we get rid of spiders
Inspect nesting areas
Eaves, sheds, letterboxes, meter boxes and garden beds are checked for active webs and egg sacs.
Apply external treatment
Spray is applied to nesting and entry points around the property's exterior, targeting where spiders actually live, not just visible webs.
Clear webs and egg sacs
Existing webs and egg sacs are removed as part of the treatment, reducing the chance of a quick return.
Recommend ongoing prevention
Reducing outdoor lighting near entry points and clearing garden debris helps keep numbers down between treatments.

Spider control FAQs
External spider spray covers nesting and entry points around the property's exterior, including eaves, sheds and letterboxes — see the pricing above for the current rate. Larger properties or properties with heavier spider activity may need a more thorough treatment, so pricing can vary based on the assessment.
Yes. A redback bite can cause serious symptoms and needs medical attention. Redbacks are commonly found in sheds, garages, and undisturbed outdoor storage areas across Perth.
The spider treatment focuses on external nesting and entry points, since that's where most spider activity in Perth homes originates. Ask about combined treatment if spiders are also active indoors.
Treatment reduces activity for an extended period, but new spiders can move in over time, particularly during warmer months. Annual or seasonal treatment is the most effective way to keep numbers down long term.
