Spiders are one of the biggest reasons people in Ocean Grove call us. Coastal scrub, tea tree, dunes and big gardens all hold plenty of insects, and spiders are never far from their food. Black house spiders build thick, messy webs in window frames and brick gaps. Huntsmen wander in on hot nights. White-tailed spiders hunt after dark and turn up in bedding and piles of beach towels. Redbacks hide under outdoor furniture, in letterboxes and around boats, trailers and sheds.
When you call, tell us which spiders you are seeing and where. We give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew who treats spiders on the Bellarine every week. Homes with lots of outdoor lights, decks and timber features tend to have more webs, and the crew will focus on those spots.
- Web removal from eaves, windows, decks and door frames
- A residual spray around the outside walls, fences and garden edges
- Treatment of sheds, garages, carports and outdoor furniture
- Dust in the roof space and wall voids where needed
- A check of letterboxes, electricity boxes, trailers and play equipment for redbacks
Before the visit, move outdoor furniture, surfboards and stored items away from the walls so the crew can reach the corners. Keep windows shut for a few hours after the outside spray. New webs may appear for a couple of weeks as spiders cross the treated areas, and they usually drop off after that.
If someone is bitten, call 000 if they are very unwell, or ask a doctor or the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26. To book spider treatment in Ocean Grove, call 03 7053 9843.
