Webbing Spider Treatment
Webbing Spiders Taking Over Your Property?
Noticing heavy cobweb build-up around eaves, patios, windows, fences and outdoor areas often indicate active webbing spider harbourage. These spiders commonly establish themselves along rooflines, external walls, sheds, garages and entry points to both homes and commercial premises.
Left untreated, webbing spiders will quickly rebuild webs after removal, creating ongoing maintenance issues and an untidy appearance. High web activity can also attract flying insects, increasing pest pressure around the property.
Surekill Pest Control provides targeted, safe and effective Webbing Spider Treatments designed to remove active spiders, clear existing webbing and reduce future activity. Our licensed technicians assess harbourage areas and apply treatments suited to your property for reliable, lasting results.

Webbing Spider Treatment
Leave Webs Intact
Do not remove spider webs prior to treatment. Active webs allow the Technician to identify harbourage areas and treat spiders directly for maximum effectiveness.
Clear External Areas
Remove rubble, stored materials, leaf litter and debris from around the perimeter of your home. this provides clear access to walls, eaves, fences and other treatment zones.
03
Before Treatment
Close Windows and Doors
Keep windows and external doors closed during treatment to prevent spray drift and ensure treatment remains external unless otherwise advised.
Inform Us of Water Tanks
Advise the Technician of the location of any rainwater tanks so appropriate precautions can be taken during application.
Cover Fish Ponds and Bird Cages
Cover fish ponds and bird cages prior to treatment to prevent exposure. Turn off pond pumps during application if applicable.
Turn off Air Conditioning
Switch off air conditioning or ventilation systems during treatment to maximise product effectiveness.
Remove Items from Clotheslines

Remove Pets from Treatment Areas
Keep pets away from the exterior treatment area during application and until surfaces are dry.
Chemical Sensitivity Precaution
If you or anyone in your household is sensitive to chemicals, we recommend arranging to stay away from the property for approximately 24 hours after treatment, or until all treated surfaces are fully dry and the area has been well ventilated.
