How to Get Rid of Spiders

Spiders usually enter your home in autumn in search of a warm place to spend the winter.

Generally, the best thing to do is leave them alone. If you have a real fear of spiders, this can be difficult advice to follow.

The majority of spider infestations are considered annoying – particularly because of their webs. However, Australia is home to some of the most dangerous spiders – more serious infestations can occur when these spiders are involved.

Tips on Spider Removal

There are a number of tactics that you can use to keep spiders away:

• Make sure you vacuum regularly - especially sheltered spots such as underneath worktops, behind cupboards or under/behind large furniture.

• Remove visible webs regularly - on a regular basis.

• Seal gaps - in walls, around pipework and under doors to ensure spiders can’t enter.

• Remove sheltering sites near your home - such as firewood piles, garden bags, compost piles and general clutter.

• Deter all insects - Spiders feed on insects (especially flies), so use lighting in a way that is less attractive to insects.
