Spiders

Spiders are a normal part of the environment, but repeated activity around homes and outdoor living areas can become unwanted.

Main risk

Nuisance

Where spiders commonly appear

  • Webs and spider activity are commonly found around eaves, garages and sheds.

  • They may also appear around fences, windows, outdoor furniture and quiet areas around the home.

  • Repeated activity can be noticeable around sheltered areas and entryways.

Why spiders settle around properties

Sheltered locations and access to other insects can make certain areas attractive to spiders. Reducing insect activity and removing unnecessary shelter can sometimes help reduce the number present.

What you can do

  • Regularly remove old webbing.

  • Keep storage areas tidy and reduce clutter around parts of the property where spiders commonly establish themselves.

  • Pay attention to the sheltered areas where activity has been noticed.
