Safety Warning: Several spider species found in Melbourne are medically significant. Redback spiders, white-tail spiders and funnel-webs can all cause serious reactions. If you spot one inside your home — especially near bedding, shoes or clothing on the floor — do not handle it. Keep children and pets away and call a licensed professional immediately.

Found a massive hive under our eaves on a Sunday. Martin had a technician at our door within three hours. Professional, thorough and the hive was completely removed. Outstanding service — would not hesitate to call again.

Reasonable pricing, same-day response and the job was done properly first time. They inspected our full roof cavity, not just the visible nest. The technician explained every step clearly before starting. Very professional.

My daughter is severely allergic to bee stings so I was extremely worried. Martin came the same afternoon, treated the area with great care and gave us a full prevention report. I genuinely cannot recommend them highly enough.

You Are Never More Than 3 Metres Away from a Spider in Melbourne

Melbourne’s warm summers and leafy suburbs make it one of Australia’s most active spider environments. Late summer through autumn is peak season — the time when redbacks, white-tails and huntsmans push indoors most aggressively. The sooner you act, the safer your home.

One Spider Sighting Usually Means Many More Are Hidden Nearby

Spiders are solitary but they congregate where food — other insects — is plentiful. A visible spider or two is usually the sign of a much larger, hidden population inside wall cavities, under flooring or in the roof void. Professional treatment targets all of it, not just what you can see.

Prevention

How to Prevent Spider Infestations

Never Handle Spiders Yourself

Attempting to catch, squash or spray individual spiders — particularly redbacks or white-tails — puts you at direct risk of a bite. Even a huntsman, though generally harmless, can bite if cornered. Always call a licensed professional for infestations or any sighting of a venomous species.

No handling spiders with bare hands
No DIY sprays — they don’t reach roof voids or wall cavities
No ignoring webs — active webs mean active spiders
No leaving shoes or clothing on the floor unchecked

1
Seal All Entry Points

Spiders enter through gaps around window frames, door seals, weep holes and pipe penetrations. Seal cracks in external walls with appropriate caulk and fit door seals and mesh screens to vents and subfloor openings.

2
Reduce Clutter & Hiding Spots

Spiders thrive in undisturbed clutter — stacked timber, boxes in the garage, dense garden beds against the house. Keep storage areas tidy and move firewood and garden materials away from external walls.

3
Control Other Insects

Spiders follow their food supply. If you have a fly, mosquito or moth problem around outdoor lighting, you will attract spiders. Turn off unnecessary outdoor lights at night and address any underlying insect issues.

4
Book an Annual Treatment

A professional residual spray treatment once a year — ideally in late summer before peak season — keeps spider populations under control year-round. Most of our customers maintain protection for six to twelve months per treatment.

Several species found in Melbourne are medically significant. Redback spiders are the most commonly encountered venomous species — their bites cause intense pain, sweating and nausea and require medical attention. White-tail spider bites, while rarely serious, cause localised pain and swelling. Funnel-web spiders, though more common in NSW, have been recorded in Victoria and are potentially life-threatening. Huntsmans are largely harmless but can bite if provoked. If you are unsure of the species in your home, treat it as a risk and call a professional.
Over-the-counter sprays are contact-only — they kill spiders you can directly see and spray, but do nothing for the much larger population living in your roof void, wall cavities and subfloor. Professional treatments use residual insecticide applied to every surface spiders walk across, including areas no consumer product can reach. For any serious infestation or venomous species sighting, a licensed technician is the only effective option.
Late summer through autumn — roughly February to April — is peak spider season in Melbourne. This is when spiders are most active, searching for mates and moving indoors as temperatures begin to drop. Redbacks are particularly active in hot, dry conditions. We recommend booking a treatment in late summer to get ahead of peak season rather than reacting to an established infestation.
Yes. We use only APVMA-approved products that are specifically formulated to be safe for families and pets once dry — typically within two to four hours of treatment. We will ask you to keep children, pets and fish tanks out of treated areas during application and for a short period afterwards. Your technician will give you clear, specific re-entry instructions before leaving.
The most common harbourage sites we find include roof voids, subfloor areas, wall cavities, behind skirting boards, inside garages and garden sheds, under outdoor furniture, in dense garden beds against the house and inside letterboxes. Redbacks favour dry, sheltered spots like under pot plants, outdoor furniture and in garden edging. Huntsmans hide behind picture frames, under furniture and inside roof spaces.
Cost depends on the size of your property and the extent of the infestation. A standard residential treatment typically covers internal skirting boards, roof void dusting and full external perimeter spray. We provide a free on-site inspection and a fully itemised upfront quote with no call-out fee. There are no hidden charges — you know the full cost before any work begins.
Most of our treatments provide six to twelve months of residual protection. The duration depends on the product used, the surfaces treated and weather conditions. We recommend an annual treatment for most Melbourne homes — particularly those with gardens, older timber construction or a history of infestation. We provide aftercare instructions that maximise the effectiveness and longevity of every treatment.
