Spider Pest Control on the Gold Coast

Extermination of spiders.

Spiders are eight-legged pests that can make their presence known in virtually every area of your homes and offices, even outdoors. These crawling pests usually leave nasty cobwebs around your home, which is both ugly and messy.

Apart from the mess, some species of spiders can pass on bacteria that cause serious infections in humans, including Lyme disease. Some species of spiders – particularly native Australian species – are very deadly. Take, for example, the dangerous black widow spider, funnel-web spider, red widow spider.

Therefore, spiders and humans shouldn’t be sharing the same living spaces!.

Things that attract spiders

- Dampness: Moisture-prone places such as the basement, bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms harbor spiders.
- Other insects: Spiders depend on other insects as food sources. Thus, they are attracted to places where these insects are.
- Vegetation: Your garden provides hiding places for the spiders.
- Outdoor lights: These attract the insects that serve as a source of food to spiders.
- Dirty surroundings: Places that are dirty and cramped up serve as potential hiding places for the spiders.

Our effective control of spider infestation

At Proper Pest Control, we make use of methods that ensure spiders are gone for good. Some of these methods include:
- Use of pesticides outdoors and indoors. There is a need to apply these sprays outdoors as spiders outside can end up inside your home.
- We spray a chemical barrier around the outside entry points to your home, including your windows and doors, then also inside in storage rooms and closets as these are places where spiders hide the most.
- Removal of cobwebs: Webs attract spiders because these webs serve as homes. Therefore, we typically get rid of cobwebs around your homes and offices to prevent further spider infestation.
- Where necessary, the use of glue boards to help capture present spiders.
- We call attention to damp areas that need repair.
- We also get rid of other insects with the use of pesticides and insecticides.

We use safe and highly effective chemicals for treatment of spiders and other crawling insects – which are only available to licensed pest control technicians.
