Spider control from Aussie Pest Strike removes dangerous and nuisance spiders from your property and helps keep them away for good. Our licensed technicians inspect, treat and proof homes and businesses right across Australia using professional-grade products applied with care. If you are ready to book, you can do so knowing your family, pets, customers and staff are in safe hands.
What Spider Control Protects You From
Australia is home to thousands of spider species, and while most are harmless, a small number can deliver painful or medically significant bites. Redback spiders shelter in letterboxes, sheds and garden furniture, while black house spiders colonise window frames, eaves and fences. In some regions, especially around gardens and pool areas, funnel-web spiders pose a serious risk — our guide to funnel-web identification and control explains what to look for.
Even harmless spiders cause problems when their numbers build up. Webbing spreads across eaves, pergolas and play equipment, egg sacs release dozens or even hundreds of spiderlings each season, and a heavy spider presence often signals a wider insect problem attracting them. Left untreated, the cycle repeats and the clean-up grows bigger every year.
- Painful bites from redbacks and other common species around outdoor living areas, sheds and play equipment
- Potentially dangerous encounters with funnel-web spiders in gardens, garages and pool areas
- Heavy webbing on eaves, windows, fences and outdoor furniture that leaves a property looking neglected
- Egg sacs that hatch large numbers of spiderlings and restart the infestation
- Spiders moving indoors in search of insects, pointing to a broader pest issue
- Lost use of entertaining areas, play spaces and work sites because of safety concerns
How We Treat It
Every job follows a proven five-step process, carried out by licensed technicians using targeted applications and professional-grade products. Conditions vary across the country — what suits a coastal Queensland home differs from a property covered in our Sydney pest control guide or our Melbourne pest control guide — so we tailor the approach to your location and property.
- Inspect: We carry out a thorough inspection of the interior and exterior, including eaves, roof voids, subfloors, sheds, fences and garden areas, noting webbing, egg sacs and harbourage sites.
- Identify: We identify the species present and assess the level of risk, distinguishing dangerous spiders from harmless ones so treatment is directed where it matters most.
- Treat: We apply targeted professional treatments to webs, harbourages, entry points and the external perimeter, using licensed treatment methods suited to the species and the site.
- Exclude and proof: We advise on sealing gaps, maintaining screens, managing vegetation and reducing the insects spiders feed on, making your property far less attractive to them.
- Follow up: We check the results with you and, if spiders return within the warranty period, we come back and re-treat the affected areas at no extra cost.

FAQs
How long does spider control take to work?
You should notice a clear drop in spider activity within a few days of treatment as webs and harbourages are dealt with. Professional treatments keep working for weeks to months afterwards, and if activity returns inside your warranty period we will re-treat the affected areas at no extra cost.
Is spider control safe for children and pets?
Yes. Our licensed technicians use professional-grade products applied precisely and in line with all label directions and safety requirements. We may ask you to keep children and pets away from treated areas until surfaces are dry, and we will explain every precaution before we start.
How often should I book spider control?
Most homes benefit from a professional spider control treatment once a year, ideally before the warmer months when activity peaks. Properties near bushland, waterways or with heavy insect activity may need six-monthly visits, and we will recommend the right schedule after inspecting your property.
Do you treat redback and white-tail spiders?
Yes — redbacks, white-tails, huntsmen, black house spiders and funnel-webs are all covered. Our spider exterminators treat webs, harbourages, roof voids, subfloors, fences and garden beds, and physically remove accessible webs and egg sacs.
Is spider spraying safe for kids and pets?
Yes. Treatments use APVMA-registered products applied precisely where spiders hide. Once dry — usually 30 to 45 minutes — treated areas are safe for children and pets.
