Easily recognisable by their eight legs, some happily tolerate the presence of spiders whilst others simply cannot bear the thought of them. Professional spider control is an option for those with a real fear of spiders, but also those who struggle with large or repeated spider infestations.
Our local technicians have expert knowledge of and experience with Australian spider species. We can offer advice on how to spot the early signs of a spider infestation to enable effective, targeted treatment for your home or business. All spiders will be professionally identified and if any harmful species are found, Rentokil will provide the appropriate treatment recommendations and advice.
For over 50 years, Rentokil has been supplying humane and effective spider control solutions designed to protect commercial and residential properties from all species of pest spiders.
Australia is home to numerous spider species that may require professional spider pest control services. While most spiders help control other insects, certain species pose risks to households.
Redback Spiders, with their distinctive red stripe, prefer dry, sheltered areas around homes. The dangerous Sydney Funnel-web and its relatives build characteristic funnel-shaped webs in gardens, requiring immediate attention if spotted near residences.
White-tailed spiders are nocturnal hunters that prey on other spiders, often entering homes through crevices. The Black House Spider constructs messy webs in window frames and eaves, creating unsightly pest problems.
When facing a spider infestation, professional pest treatment is recommended, especially for venomous species where anti-venom might be necessary after bites. A qualified pest control technician can identify spider species accurately and implement targeted spraying in hard-to-reach areas.
Regular spider and pest control treatments help protect Australian families from potential spider bites while effectively managing overall pest populations around your property.

Rentokil will install insect monitor units designed to trap spiders but not attract them. Monitor units will be strategically positioned in areas where spiders are likely to be foraging, sheltering and seeking mates.
Rentokil technicians can advise on spider proofing measures and adjustments made to areas where spiders commonly seek shelter to deter spiders from the premises. This may include filling in gaps around pipework, in walls, and under doors.
Effective on a wide range of interior and exterior surfaces as well as in cracks and crevices, residual treatment such as spider insecticidal sprays and dust compromise the spider’s nervous system or exoskeleton. They typically work within 24 hours, offering quick means of controlling spiders. Suitable for long-term solutions under cabinets and along basement walls, this versatile product exterminates spiders and other pest insects such as bed bugs, cockroaches, fleas and ants.
Spider insecticidal misting via a ultra low volume (ULV) cold fogger is an efficient and effective method of spider control suitable for larger premises such as warehouses, sheds and boat docks.. The insecticide is dispersed widely tackling spaces where spiders breed.

Ensuring a clean, safe environment post pest infestation
When it comes to effective spider pest control in Australia, implementing preventative measures is crucial. Professional pest treatment for spiders begins with identifying entry points and sealing cracks and crevices to prevent spiders from establishing indoor nests.
Regular cleaning eliminates webs and reduces hiding spots, while maintaining a tidy garden removes hiding places for dangerous species like Redback Spiders and funnel-web spiders.
Strategic spraying by qualified pest control technicians targets areas where spiders and their prey gather. White tailed spiders and Black House Spiders often enter homes seeking shelter and food.
Reducing indoor lighting at night minimises insect attraction, subsequently decreasing spider presence. For persistent spider infestations, professional pest control services offer specialised spider removal solutions tailored to Australian conditions.
Remember that while most spider bites cause minor symptoms, some venomous species require immediate medical attention and anti-venom treatment. Regular professional inspections can identify potential pest problems before they develop into full-blown infestations requiring intensive intervention.
