When do you need spider pest control?
We’re lucky to live in a beautiful country like Australia, but unfortunately, it comes with some risks. Our dangerous spiders are so well-known that even people in other countries know to be wary!
While most spiders are virtually harmless, some species can be dangerous and are of great concern if spotted around the home or garden.
Some of the venomous species present in Australia include:
- Sydney Funnel Web Spider
- Redback Spiders
- Mouse Spiders
- Wolf Spiders
- White-Tailed Spider
Unfortunately, many species are also difficult to distinguish from others, so if you think you think you’ve spotted a venomous one, it’s best to get a professional out to assess the situation.
What are the risks?
The bites of venomous spiders can cause immense pain and even death. Luckily in Australia, fatalities are rare because we understand the danger, but if you believe you have been bitten by one you must seek medical attention immediately.
Non-venomous spiders tend to be more of a nuisance than a danger, but can still warrant the need for spider control. You may be irritated by unsightly and sticky webs collecting dust, but spider eggs present more of an issue. If you notice these around, you’re about to be inundated with a flood of tiny arachnids and it’s best to call an exterminator fast.
How do we treat spiders?
Jim’s technicians have been trained to inspect, assess and treat spider problems in the house and garden.
We always begin with a thorough inspection so we can find any hidden breeding or hiding places.
Once we have located the problem areas, we apply a professional-grade surface spray that’s been licensed and formulated for spider control.
Safe for people and pets
Jim’s treatment methods are completely safe once they are thoroughly dry, so you can confidently use them in areas that will later be accessed by children and pets.
Protecting yourself from spiders
At your pest control appointment, we will discuss prevention methods and how to stay safe from venomous spiders.
These safety measures include:
- Wear gloves when gardening or handling soil.
- Wear enclosed footwear, particularly at night, but any time you are in the garden.
- Look out for ground spiders after any landscaping or excavation when they may have been disturbed.
- Pack away toys as spiders may use these as a nest.
