Spider Pest Control Sydney
Often known as the 8 legged menaces, Spiders are a common threat to the Australian household. With over 35,000 species of spiders found all over the world, a few thousand are found here in Australia.
Contrary to popular belief and the heavy occurrence of Arachnophobia, not all of those species are dangerous to humans. It is true that all spiders bite in order to feed and produce silk, but only a handful of them contain venom that can cause serious implication on human health.
Commonly found spiders:
Red-Back Spider:
Black House Spider:
White Tail Spider:
Huntsman Spider:
How to Control Spiders:
It is advisable to call professional and trained experts when it comes to identifying and exterminating spiders, especially when you cannot identify them as a threat.
Tradie Team recommends you destroy the webs yourself because applying chemicals on their webs does not affect them. This is attributed to their claw like legs that do not absorb the chemicals.
Spiders can be exterminated by direct contact with pest control chemicals and by destroying their webs to discourage return visits.
Harmless spiders are usually caught individually and placed in their original habitat.
