Huntsman spiders are big, hairy and leggy, and one on the ceiling can stop a whole household in its tracks. In Brisbane they are most often seen on walls and ceilings after rain, in cars and behind curtains. They do not spin webs to catch food. They hunt at night and spend the day tucked into tight, dry gaps.
If you see one now and then, a container and a piece of card is often all you need. If you are seeing them week after week, there is likely a group living in the roof space, behind loose cladding or in trees and gardens close to the house. The crew we book finds those shelter spots and treats them, along with the gaps huntsman spiders use to get inside.
- Check of eaves, gable vents, weatherboards and shutters
- Roof space dusting where access allows
- Perimeter spray of walls, doors and window frames
- Carport and garage treatment on request
- Advice on sealing gaps under doors and around screens
Huntsman spiders often move indoors ahead of storms or after heavy rain soaks their outdoor shelter. Older timber homes and houses near bush or large trees tend to see the most. Parking the car away from overhanging trees also helps, since huntsman spiders often shelter in sun visors and door seals. You do not need to leave home during an outside treatment, but rooms treated inside should be left empty until dry.
We give you upfront pricing on the phone once we understand the size of the home and whether the roof space is included. Visits can be same-day or next-day where the run allows. To book huntsman spider treatment in Brisbane, call 07 3543 7772.
