Spiders around Mount Gravatt properties tend to collect in the same quiet, undisturbed spots each season, including eaves, garage corners, under outdoor furniture, in letterboxes and around garden sheds. Redback spiders are common across Brisbane's southside and favour dry, sheltered gaps close to the ground, so a treatment usually pays close attention to woodpiles, electricity boxes, pot plants and the underside of outdoor furniture as well as the usual web sites up under the eaves.
The crew we book will treat the areas spiders shelter in with a residual surface spray around eaves, window frames, door frames and garage walls, and clear webs and egg sacs as part of the visit. Because spiders often move back into a treated area from surrounding garden beds or a neighbouring property, a barrier treatment further out into the yard can help reduce how often they return.
Homes in Mount Gravatt with mature gardens, retaining walls or timber decking tend to have more spider activity than newer, more exposed blocks, simply because there is more shelter close to the house. If you have seen a redback or another spider you are unsure about, point it out to the technician on the day so it gets particular attention.
If you are ever bitten by a spider and are worried about symptoms, call 000 or contact the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26 for advice.
