Are spiders bothering you? While many homeowners can tolerate these pests, for others, they can be a real problem. And with quite a few dangerous species around, it’s not usually a problem you should tackle on your own.
With our help, many families have great peace of mind when it comes to spiders in the home. With solid advice, a ton of experience, and safe methods, the team at OzPest Solutions are always on-hand to help you prevent and control your spiders.
Did you know there are over 8000 varieties of spiders in Australia? Luckily, most of them aren’t a threat to us, but even non-dangerous spiders can be a nuisance around the home. We know that many families struggle with spiders, their sticky webs, and the mess they leave behind, but knowing a little more about them can help.
7 to 9 mm long with small bodies and very long legs. They prefer sheltering in houses and garages and are harmless to humans.
Comes in various sizes, colours, and patterns, with some species reaching over 160 mm in length. They typically hide in narrow crevices outside the home.
5 mm to 15 mm long with a black body. The females usually have a distinctive red mark on the back, while males might have yellow or white markings. Usually found in dark and dry areas, they can be in the home or outside.
Australian spiders vary greatly, and so can their behaviours. Some are aggressive and solitary, while others are a bit more social. A few species prefer the warmth and shelter of human homes, while others tend to stay in your garden.

For many people, we don’t have to say it twice—these pests can be scary. But, alongside causing unease and fear, spiders can cause a few other problems. Their webs and the dust and debris that collects in them can cause allergies, some are dangerous if they do bite, they leave messy webs and shedding, and they can attract larger pests.

Understandably, you may want to reduce the chance of spiders taking up residence in your own home. There are a few home care tips that you can implement to help keep them at bay.
Dusting away any stray webs in your home can prevent them from rebuilding in the same place.
Find and seal any gaps that may be attracting spiders. You might even find some webs covering these gaps that you can remove as well.
Insects love light, and spiders love insects. You can reduce the chance of both pests bothering you by turning off unnecessary lighting in the evening.
