Canberra Spider Pest Control

Spiders are an important part of the ecosystem. Areas such as Mount Ainslie Nature Reserve, Commonwealth Park and Black Mountain Nature Reserve are teeming with spiders that help control insect numbers. But unfortunately, spiders are also found in residential towns, homes and businesses in Canberra and the ACT.

Our technicians regularly treat properties in Campbell, Aranda and Mitchell for venomous red back, funnel web or white tip spiders. Don’t risk a bite from a spider, especially if you have pets or children.

While some species are dangerous, many spider species can cause pain or infection. If you have spiders on your property, ask a professional to remove them at the source, so they don’t return.

Which spiders invade homes in Canberra?

Spiders can live in webs, burrows or no webs at all. Daddy Long Legs are common webbing spiders in many homes in Canberra. Another webbing spider we come across regularly is the Black House Spider. Webbing spiders love window frames, curtain rails and cornice areas. These spiders may not be dangerous, but their webs are annoying.

The Huntsman and Wolf Spiders can appear suddenly on your wall. That’s because they hunt for pray in crevices or corners of a room, instead of trapping insects in a web.

Another group of spiders found around swimming pools and in gardens on the central coast are burrowing spiders. Funnel Web and Trap Door spiders tend to stay outside. If you have kids that like to dig in the dirt or pets, it’s best to call a professional to rid your yard of these nasties.

How to keep spiders away from your home

Spiders kill insects. So some homeowners turn a blind eye to the odd Daddy Long Legs in the corner of the room. However, if the number of spiders gets a bit out of hand, or they keep appearing after being removed, you need to call a professional. We often get calls at the first sign of a Huntsman scampering across the bedroom wall late at night. Where there’s one, there are often more.

Here are some tips to keep spiders out of your home.

  • Cut back branches from the property
  • Remove material stacked around the home, such as bricks, wood or spare roof tiles
  • Declutter your shed
  • Regularly clean your house to deter insects
  • Remove spider webs as soon as you see them

If the thought of spiders in your home gives you shivers, don’t hesitate to call one of our professional technicians. Webbing, burrowing and other spiders need to be treated differently, due to their environment and behaviour.

If you suspect you have spiders, don’t try to get rid of them yourself. Call (02) 6147 2613 and get your home inspected by a professional.

I had the very calm and professional Tom Andrews come by all week to catch what we thought was a possum in our roof. It... was clear from day one that he knew how these animals behaved and was very quickly able to determine that it was infact a different issue. He used multiple techniques and was able to sort it out very quickly. We haven't heard scratching or banging in the roof since he did his magic. Job well done!!read more

Very last minute call out - day before a public holiday and they were able to squeeze me in for a pest problem causing... a smell which made my house unlivable. Cannot describe the relief that came with the promptness of the service, as well as the quality and professionalism. Rather than laugh at my desperation, they were totally understanding. Absolutely chuffed with literally everything, cannot recommend enough.read more

Flick is the best pest control service I’ve ever used. Marc O’Donnell came again today, having been here 2 years ago... for the same service. He was on time, extremely friendly and helpful, and did a thorough job inspecting the house. He also applied long-acting pesticide inside and out. He was the first of the inspectors to recommend the treatment in 2020. The treatment has been very effective controlling insects and spiders until the next inspection. Marc’s reports are professional with practical recommendations for termite prevention. I can highly recommend the service and have been very happy with the results.read more

Absolutely awesome service. Thank you Martin Kennedy for doing our yearly termite inspection. Not only did he check... everything he also answered my questions in regards to treated fence and how they can get into your house. A very knowledgeable technician who confirmed what I knew was correct. We have annual inspections for our termite barrier which was installed when the house was built. I strongly encourage people to get Flick out to do an inspection on the property before you buy. Don’t rely on your usual pest inspection. Martin would be the ideal person to do an inspection before you buy. His knowledge is outstanding. Thank you Martin.read more

Both Marc and Michael were on time and extensively inspected the roof void and underfloor of our property to find the... source of our insect infestation. They identified where specific activity had occurred and recommendations for future-proofing the property. The nature of our build was such that they could not directly remove the source but at least we now know where the problem lies! They were both very professional, informative and helpful. We would use Flick and these two technicians again. Also, the receptionist when I booked the call was very helpful and understanding and provided us with an early next-day callout (as well as a very specific time!), which was very much appreciated.read more
