Spiders

Except for some types of venomous spiders such as the Redback, Funnel-web and White Tail, most spiders are relatively harmless.  All spider bites, however, should receive prompt medical attention as blood poisoning or infection can result.

Spiders will often hide in dark crevices and emerge to feed when other insects are caught in their webs.  They will strategically place their webs to intercept insect flight paths.  Outside lights on at night attract insects so you might notice webs near these.  Another common harbourage for spiders is in the roof void, particularly in homes that have ceiling downlights as they emit light upwards into the roof space and therefore attract insects.

Treatment for spiders is carried out to cracks and crevices around the home where spiders and their prey inhabit, such as eaves, windows and fences.  For maximum effect, the roof void, sub floor, exterior, outdoor furniture, play equipment and garage are treated, with special attention being paid to known harbourage points.

If there are any problem areas inside the house, we can carry out a targeted treatment to these areas.  All pesticides used at Pestgo are low toxic and people and pet safe.
