From redbacks in the garage to huntsmen indoors, spider treatments target where they shelter and breed — not just where you've spotted one.
Spiders follow food, not people — they turn up wherever insects are plentiful and shelter is easy to find. Cluttered garages, woodpiles stacked against the house, unsealed vents and gaps around window frames all give spiders somewhere dry and undisturbed to build a web and wait. Outdoor lighting can make it worse too, since it draws in the flying insects spiders feed on.
We treat entry points, eaves, subfloor and garden perimeter with a residual barrier spray, and physically remove webs and egg sacs where accessible. Outdoor areas get particular attention since that's where most spider activity starts before it moves inside.
